Yup (and the rivers).
Thanks, Chris, I never would have believed it.
Climatologists offer the theory of sun activity. Historically, the warmer periods of earth coincide with increased solar activity over centuries. You think there is no connection?
Apparently, the scientists think there is. But as it conflicts with the GW religion, how could you accept it?
Try using solar energy to warm New England homes under an overcast sky in the depths of winter.
Actually, don't try it. The New Englanders would lynch you.
Solar has failed in California, in spite of lots of sunshine and various governmental subsidies. It is useful for specific situations - such as on top of mountains - but otherwise isn't significant.
Evidence seems to suggest that increase in CO2 follows warming, rather than the reverse, but we dare not admit that, do we.
About 95% of greenhouse gases is water vapor. When I looked through the IPCC pages, I didn't see water-vapor mentioned except as an aside.
They concentrated on the big three Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and CO2 (in that order of importance).
CO2 which has now been downgraded in importance, does wonders for vegetation. More CO2 might solve the question of world hunger. But, of course we mustn't say anything good about CO2, which is of course the Great Satan.
You mention "using geothermal energy and renewable biomass" to keep us warm. I won't mention geothermal except to say it brings to the surface each day as much radiation as was emitted by the entire scenario of Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant.
Not to worry - it isn't much.
What do you mean by "renewable biomass" - trees and suchlike?
Not to worry about that either. Increased CO2 will make the trees grow faster.
There again, burning wood is a great polluter and is now. But, different burners should keep the pollution down to merely unsafe levels.
Meantime a large power plant, for the same wattage will use one truck of nuclear fuel, 35,000 trucks of coal, or how many trucks of wood? Perhaps 100,000? Or, 200,000?
That will cause a lot of pollution too.
It's a difficult world.

The CO2 increase has been ever-increasing, as are its effects on climate
destabilization.

CO2 increases atmospheric water-vapor.

By using geothermal energy and renewable biomass ?

You've said it:

But not the way you think... solar energy instead...

Says who -- the AAA? Btw, the atmospheric destabilization (in lower strata)
that can be observed is typical of CO2 and would not be caused by solar
activity.
