Acidity and temperature rising in the oceans IS already taking place.

What kind of an argument is that correlation doesnt equal causation because we dont have a second planet with which to compare? We dont have another example of MANY things but they are still entirely true! Evolution in a biological organism for example.

Absolute nonsense. There is DIRECT correlation of MULTIPLE sample types which meet equivalent outcomes consistent with ANTHROGENIC causation and NON-CONSISTENT with ANY TYPE of natural cause.

We basically have shitloads of evidence precisely correlating human-derived outputs to warming-effects. There are no other options. Its us.

And for the record, I understand the scientific method quite well. Im a research scientist. It teaches you to accept something when it is staring you in the face. Yes it is falsifiable, but unless there are alien spaceships pumping excess CO2 into our atmosphere, or perhaps pushing us closer to the sun, its us.
