*The amount of UV insolation at ground level regulates the amount of infrared radiation in the troposphere,where the 'climate' is.
*Higher concentrations of CO2 and Methane block the infrared's ability to radiate to space,warming the planet,exactly like Venus.
*Paleoclimatic records show that all warming events were always accompanied by an increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases.
*Average,mean,global surface temperature has continued to rise since the onset of the Industrial Revolution.
*As the Sun has grown dimmer the planet continues to set heat records.
*Local and regional variability in temperature is not an unforeseen phenomena of anthopogenically-induced climate change.
