Which one of those cites you've given points to the proof of global
warming being man made? Even the IPCC doesn't claim to have that.
What, specifically, would constitute proof?
A constant, evenly distributed temperature for 20 years, followed by
an
increase in CO2 and an evenly distributed rising temperate. Polar
water at -32 F and Mexican Gulf water at 80 F is not an even
distribution, nor is it constant, but it would, specifically,
constitute proof. Any more questions?
Yeah. How, specifically, would that prove anthropogenic global warming?
Since there is no anthropogenic global warming it wouldn't be possible,
but if there were, then
a constant, evenly distributed temperature for 20 years, followed by an
increase in CO2 and an evenly distributed rising temperate. Polar water
at -32 F and Mexican Gulf water at 80 F is not an even distribution, nor
is it constant, but it would, specifically, constitute proof. Any more
questions?

They have to show:
1) That CO2 causes global warming. This will be difficult, since in past
warming periods, CO2 lags the warming, thus some sort of tachyon
interaction would have to be involved.

Previously there were not 6 billion people on the Earth extracting fossil
fuels as fast as they can and dumping the burned effluent into the atmosphere.
So that eliminates comparisons to earlier pre-industrial evolutions of the
biosphere as a criteria. This has never happened before.

2) That we caused the CO2. This, too, would be difficult since simple
equilibrium chemistry indicates we've added very little CO2 to the
atmosphere.

Not according to the US Energy Information Agency. See figure 1;
http://www.eia.doe.gov/bookshelf/bro...e/Chapter1.htm

Then we can get into the issue of "is it bad if the earth warms", since
the medieval warm period was a period of human prosperity, this, too,
would be hard to prove.

A vast amount of online information to the contrary would make your
argument very hard to support.
