Co2 levels have increased for decades at almost a steady and constant rate yet temperatures have decreased by 0.06 degrees a year for the last 10 years. If co2 was responsible for temperatures, then temperatures would be increasing slightly instead of collapsing.
Mars has at least 3,000 times more co2 concentration than the Earth, yet can get temperatures no higher than -120 degrees most of the time.
Do you agree?

The %26quot;Greenhouse Effect%26quot; is an interesting theory, but there no facts or evidence that gives this idea any support. There isn%26#039;t any scientific proof that the %26quot;Greenhouse Effect%26quot; is real than there is science that shows that Phrenology is a proven science. What is the point of trying to fake this answer, when the percentage of c02 in earths atmosphere is so well known in this debate (0.038) you just make yourself look foolish Report Abuse* You must be logged into Answers to add comments.

Theres is a confirmed relationship between increase in greenhouse gas emissions like CO2 and increase in temperatures. Please realise that CO2 increase is not the only thing affecting temperatures. Other factors like the health of our marine environment and the forests also majorly influence how much the mean temps go up by.
By the way, the way you%26#039;ve reported the %26#039;mars fact%26#039; might need to be modified. Mars has a higher composition of CO2 in its atmosphere (95%), but its whole atmosphere is ver very thin compared to earth, hence the presence of CO2 doesn%26#039;t raise temperatures.
What we would be hopefully able to do, is to add more greenhouse gases on Mars to make it more %26#039;tropical%26#039; like for us humans! :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphere_...

Answer hidden due to its low rating
That is not true, because CO2 reinforces the ozone layer, which is responsible for the temperature inscrease.
The more CO2, the thicker the ozone layer, the greater the temperature increase.
