Don't volcanoes make solids float in the air and help cool down the Earth...?

weather change does not mean there is global warming

If the weather is warming on this planet,
I'm pretty sure that's "global warming".

I think very many underestimate how much our "small" impact has. There are many natural occurrences that we have enhanced or contributed to. While CO2 is a potent greenhouse gas, a far more potent gas is methane(traps four times as much heat as carbon dioxide if I remember correctly). The source of some of this methane, believe it or not is cattle ranches. Cows release tons of methane every year, and what worsens it still is that forests are being cleared to raise more cattle.

As well as cows being a source of methane, in the oceans methane is trapped in giant frozen crystals and as the oceans warm up, the methane melts and is released into the atmosphere. So it is all a compounding effect that starts with something so "little" as humans contribution.

the temperatures are increasing, thus that is the only current weather change, a slow but steady increase in temperature.

Temperatures are rising but it is natural and not man-made.

We all know that if more 1700's pirates existed there would be no global warming. 'Huh?' you say? Let me elaborate:

300 yrs ago: Lots of pirates, not much if any global warming.
Now: No pirates (scurvy bearing pirates, not modern ones), global warming.

Co-incidence, I think NOT??!!
