What caused global warming

This is the continuation of a thread about the potential causes of global warming:

Juerg:

Sorry I am now just responding to your last comment. I looked at your references, statements were made but no scientific proof was there. Greenhouse gases causing the recent global warming is the hypotheses with no scientific backup. If you look at CO2 concentration in the atmosphere versus the earth's temperature changes, there is absolutely no correlation. It may appear so over very long time periods but over shorter time frames you see no effect.

I am a chemical engineer. I analyzed data and present the results. I made up no hypothesis. I calculated the effect of CFCs as a result of the stratosphere cooling an average of around 1.3 C while the earth warmed an average of around 0.4 C from 1980 to 2000. I calculated the mass of the troposphere relative to the mass of the stratosphere. I then calculated the heat to bring the stratosphere up to a normal 0 level and subtracted that from the troposphere. The loss of ozone caused the earth therefore to heat up 0.32 C. The natural change in solar irradiance made up the other 0.8 C warming. This accounts for the total global warming from 1980 to 2000. CFCs were increasing over the 1980 to 2000 time frame in conjunction with the stratosphere cooling, CFC concentrations flattening out around 2000 (the Montreal Protocal taking effect). However China and other developing countries are still making CFCs and will be until 2010 when they are supposed to stop.

From what I have researched man's contribution to greenhouse gases is only 0.28% of the total with nature providing the rest. According to reseachers, the permafrost in North Siberia is melting ( warming at Northern climes some three times that of the average warming - less ozone there) and they estimated methane release some 100 times that of man's emissions from fossil fuels. We need to remove CFCs from the atmosphere, not CO2 to have an effect on global temperature. It will also reduce CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere. Methane converts to CO2 and water vapor through slow oxidation in the atmosphere.

Let me say though millions of people agree on a subject, that doesn't necessarily mean they are correct. I proved that Einstein, a very brilliant man who almost everyone agreed with concerning a photon having no mass was wrong. The paper I wrote on this was published in Physics Essays in 1998. I am not more intelligent than anyone else. I just analyze things until I can see the simplicity. Man's tendency is to make things very complicated. I always say if you cannot explain things in simple terms, although you consider yourself an expert in that field , you really don't understand it!
