Yes I do know that much of what I say is true. There are studies that attribute carbon to temperature accumulation. It's called general physics.
Carbon is the reason life is on this planet. Without the warming effect of carbon in our atmosphere this planet would be a steady 32 degrees farenheit. Too cold for anything. We know from measurements that we have increased the atmospheres carbon content by 30% in the last 300 years.
For your own experiment, Fill one tube with a normal mix of air, fill another with the air plus an increasingly larger mix of CO2. Train heat lamps over both and see that the one with higher CO2 gets warmer.
It's the same thing on the macroscale.
We can measure CO2 levels over a geologically significant timeframe. There are many ways to do this, two of the most common are to discern CO2 levels from ancient trees like the Sequoias and Joshua trees. We can also get CO2 levels from ice bores in the antarctic.
At normal levels the CO2 can be reabsorbed by the earth, but at the rates and levels we have it at now it cannot. Atmospheric measurements have shown the excess carbon remains.
Finally about science grants. Those who do the science could have a reason to skew the data. That is why we have peer review and duplication of results. We don't start believing anything until the rest of the scientific community has had their chance to test the theories and results from these studies. And the Global Warming theories have stood up to all of these tests. It is well accepted in the scientific community now and those who believe climate change to not be a human created problem are on the extreme fringe of science.
