Solar activity is not the cause of global warming, extremely credible
scientists publishing in peer reviewed journals have totally discredited that
theory based on hard evidence. Friction of the tectonic plates is not the
problem, there is absolutely no evidence to support that theory either. We
are currently experiencing anthropogenic global warming caused primarily by
the burning of fossil fuels, though are mistreatment of the rain forests, and
other ecological stupidities won't make things better. Since the start of
the industrial revolution, we have collectively burned 1 trillion barrels of
oil and an staggering amount of coal. The traces of that folly can be
measured in the atmosphere. The decay rate of the isotopes of CO2, C12, C13,
and C14, are well known. By studying the concentration of those isotopes in
the atmosphere, including the ratios between them, it has been possible to
determine accurately that the source of most of the extra CO2 in the
atmosphere is from fossil fuels.

There is a massive amount of evidence accumulated over decades of research by
climate change scientists from all over the world proving the case for
anthropogenic global warming. If you want to start getting an education as
to the depth of the evidence, my favorite site is www.realclimate.org. Real
Climate is run by scientists who are climate change experts and publish
regularly in major peer reviewed scientific journals. Real Climate in turn,
has links to most of the other important sites that disseminate solid
scientific information on the subject.

I don't think we need to be re-hashing discredited and unproven theories on
this forum, in the face of this weight of scientific evidence, and the
seriousness of the crisis. I would suggest that our time is better spent in
figuring out how Permaculture contributes to the solution of the problem as
time is seriously running out.

... and I've heard solar activity was to blame, citing global warming on Mars
and other planets and their satellites (with Venus suspiciously cooling).

There are many "scientists" out there "debunking" Global Warming
"speculation".
Some of them sound more plausible than others. What concerns me has been the
blatant propaganda (if the inventor of the internet says it, there must be
something wrong about it). Having these theories out there, even if you are
trying to be funny, only makes it more difficult to get the points across to
deluded family members and friends. It may be funny to hear a politician
make a
fool of themselves, but not if you now have the same bunk to deal with closer
to
home.

my own theory, which is related to that one, and which may be totally wrong,
is
that the oil is in the earth for a reason. is it totally implausible to think
that it acts as a lubricant for the shifting earth plates? seems to me that
when
our engines run low on oil, friction results and heat builds. it doesn't seem
all that far fetched to apply the same line of thought to our earth's moving
parts.

(many reports in the news about gas alarms being set off on ships and there
being no gas leak, birds suddenly dying en masse). The warmed oceans affect
