Global Warming? Do you Believe?

I just read an editorial that said that global warming causes CO2, not the other way arround; claimed that it's part of an 1800 year cycle due to cosmic alignments, discovered 80 years ago by Otto Petersson.

I believe that it's getting warmer. I don't believe we can make any big change by listening to the politicians.

It's a vicious cycle. The heating of the earth releases slight amounts of CO2 trapped in rocks. This CO2 of course causes a greenhouse effect, which in turn may release more CO2.

Actually, he claims that the CO2 increase has no noticable effect.

Hmm, that's odd. I can't seem to find anything about this guy, being such a proclaimed scientist he sure doesn't have very good history behind him, can't find anything of his history as a scientist. I think i'll believe NASA.

That's pretty odd, considering that a simple google search for "Otto Petersson" reveals just on the results page that he's a professor of chemistry at a university in Stockholm, a noted oceanographer, and more.

Isn't that guys research slightly outdated, though.

The other stuff I've read on the subject sharply rejects that idea.
