The guy in the video with the generators, you know the one who only wanted to "help" people, by selling them generators at twice what he paid for them, what a crock of shit. If he paid $700 ea for 19 generators and tried to sell them for $1400 ea he belongs in jail. If his motives were truly altruistic he could have sold them for enough to cover his truck rental and fuel, but he tried to make a $13000 profit and wants us to feel sorry for him.

This is a deflection from the actual topic. :rolleyes:

Yes. There are a large number of factors, natural and manmade that are contributing to the warming. We know that the planet is getting hotter(we can measure this), and we have a very good idea of the causes, and a rough idea how much each of those causes is contributing. It is however a massively complex system, so while we can say "man made effects are significantly contributing to global warming", that is about as accurate as we can get.

So the answer to your question is that it is both, and more.

ya but i dont buy the "significant" part .. The science (real data) doesnt back the claim of AGW global warming.
The modeling used are assumptive.

Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) or Natural Global Warming (NGM)

The concept of an anthropogenic global warming (AGW) driven by the increase in atmospheric CO2 is compared to the concept of a natural global warming (NGW) driven by solar variability. The application of the AGW concept only rests on models, whilst the NGW concept rests on multiple observational...
