Nothing to do with 'grammar' mistakes. Purely contradictory statements.
Therefore, your next statement is incorrect ('...not vice versa'). The fact you don't understand the implications of your own statements shows you need to go do a bit more reading.

A high-resolution ice-core record of atmospheric CO2 concentration over the Holocene epoch shows that the global carbon cycle has not been in steady state during the past 11,000 years. Analysis of the CO2 concentration and carbon stable-isotope records, using a one-dimensional carbon-cycle model,uggests that changes in terrestrial biomass and sea surface temperature were largely responsible for the observed millennial-scale changes of atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

It is a greenhouse gas but it does not cause the extent of warming being portrayed by the media. It has not done in the past as I clearly demonstrate.
A better way to say it is earth temperatures are more dependent on solar activity than they are on CO2 and an even lesser extent on anthropogenic CO2.
I also go on to say that water is a bigger GHG than CO2:
So what are you doing to stop water vapor concentration in the air? Decreasing solar activity? Have you done that lately?
You need to read the scientific reports after you get your head out of your anus. Did you read the report I posted?
I am showing evidence that CO2 in the past did not cause global warming even though it is a greenhouse gas. Maybe you need to take reading comprehension classes.edit on 17-1-2011 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)

The scientists are telling you if you read what I posted that in the past CO2 did not cause a dramatic rise in temperature, therefore I am still correct and you are wrong and you need to do some more reading. Read the report then come back to me little child.
Can you show me evidence that manmade CO2 is causing increased current temperatures?[
I will show you some more evidence:

There you have it: sea surface temperature is largely responsible for atmospheric CO2 concentrations, precisely what I stated earlier.
CO2 is increasing due to human activity.

No it's not, CO2 has risen before, many times and is now and will do so again in hundreds of years to come, even when we are all dead and gone
I don't think you're very good at this sciency-thing.
Who cares about the media? I think the science is a bit more relevant.
You just did it again. If CO2 is a GHG it causes warming. It doesn't matter if the cause of its increase is warming from elsewhere - that is, it can act as a positive feedback.
Humans release more CO2 each year than is required to account for the yearly increases in atmospheric CO2. The biosphere is absorbing a proportion of our emissions, the rest remains to accumulate each year.

Is the airborne fraction of anthropogenic CO2 emissions increasing?
Wolfgang Knorr
Department of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol, Bristol, UK
Several recent studies have highlighted the possibility that the oceans and terrestrial ecosystems have started loosing part of their ability to sequester a large proportion of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions. This is an important claim, because so far only about 40% of those emissions have stayed in the atmosphere, which has prevented additional climate change. This study re-examines the available atmospheric CO2 and emissions data including their uncertainties. It is shown that with those uncertainties, the trend in the airborne fraction since 1850 has been 0.7 ± 1.4% per decade, i.e. close to and not significantly different from zero. The analysis further shows that the statistical model of a constant airborne fraction agrees best with the available data if emissions from land use change are scaled down to 82% or less of their original estimates. Despite the predictions of coupled climate-carbon cycle models, no trend in the airborne fraction can be found.

None of my reports are from the media you idiot. Where did I link to the media, and your cartoons that you are posting are for kids, This is an adult place. I showed you evidence. Scientific evidence that says that CO2 is not the cause of global warming.
Do you have scientific evidence that it can act as positive feedback?
It's inherent to your statements in the OP. CO2 is a GHG. In the past, warming from natural influences causes CO2 to be released from the biosphere. As CO2 is a GHG, it causes further warming.
