Why do global warming deniers keep saying the sun is more important than CO2?

Obviously the sun causes days and nights to warm and cool and seasons are partly based on the sun (the earth's wobble is the other) But CO2 is far far more significant and important to keep the warmth in like a greenhouse. CO2 is the primary cause for this warmth. If people can;t see that they are blind to the truth. The sun has little bearing on global warming.

    You must have failed earth science and geography too.

    Day and night are created by the rotation of the Earth, not the sun. And the "wobble", by which you might mean the tilt of the Earth, effects the seasons, not day and night.

    Apparently, you are blind and deaf to the actual truth. Or just downright dumb.

    I am a global warming/climate change denier. It's just not true. How do I know? Ask yourself this question. The last ice age was about 20,000 years ago and then the ice melted. How did that happen? No SUV's, no coal burning power plants, not very many people around at all.

    The planet warms and cools over long periods of time. In some places it gets cooler and some places it gets warmer. And yes, any warming IS caused by the sun.

    You need to do some reading outside your normal college classes where the teachers will only indoctrinate you

    The fact is CO2 does not cause Global Warming ..

    Have a look at the recent NASA temperature data recently released and we can all see that world temperatures are stable or falling.

    Do your own research and read the scientific material in the reference

    The Earth hasn't warmed because 1995, and the tips isn't precisely thorough. Al Gore has been observed as via a senator for criminal analyze because of the climate scandal. Oh and BTW Benjamir? you are the only no longer siting any medical source.

    It's an attempt to confuse and mislead people who don't really look into the actual science in all that much detail. The sun did have an increase in solar activity from 1880 to 1980. Since 1980, however, solar activity has actually decreased, while the Earth has increased .5 degrees Celsius since then.

    CO2 is expoused by Al Gore, you, and many people here as the single ingredient. Science is a body of knowledge, not forcing people to believe and act according to a single variable with absent data.

    CO2 is a molecule with potential energy stored in its bond. When you excite those bonds a teensie tiny energy is released, then absorbed in a teensie tiny way. OK now. the atmosphere is a 1/3 of 1% mass weight of this stuff and it has increased 60 ppm according to NASA (thats .000006 %). IS THIS A BIG DEAL??? YOU and others have FAITH that CO2 is causing the warming. You are a religious nut in my opinion.

    Global shipping and militaries use a huge amount of fuel, but all we hear about is how we need cap and trade. Why do global warming alarmists ignore real causes of greenhouse gasses in favor of a financial scam?

    Look at the Martian ice caps...when they are smaller than usual, like NOW, the Sun is burning hotter...unless those 2 battery operated Rovers are causing Martian Global Warming/Climate Change...

    Liberals love money and hate science and thats the only thing that has been proven of global warming.

    the sun determines the tilt of the earth which shapes our seasons.

    i honestly think the whole "global warming" thing is a stretch of the truth. yeah man made global warming is a problem but not something we need to switch to green energy over.

    ever notice how the same people selling the global warming stuff own all those green things?
