I can't speak for everyone, but my town has hovered around 20 000 people for as long as I've lived here. It's not growing fast enough to account for the warming I've seen. And that doesn't really explain why it's happening all over.

We know the mass of the Sun, but we've never put it on a scale. We know the diameter of the Earth, but I don't remember anyone stratching a tape measure around it. There are more ways of finding stuff out than direct measurements. We know that Carbon, carbon dioxide and the hydrocarbon derivatives we're spewing into the atmosphere have a greenhouse effect. We know that huge quantities of these gases have been produced by the industrial revolution. We know that concentrations of these gases have been rising at an unprecedented pace. From that we can put 2 and 2 together : we're causing the Earth's average temperature to rise.

Huh? In your topic you say global warming is a crock, then you say something is causing global warming? Dude, I'm, confused...
