   LOL.   
      
   It's noted most places that global warming has been going in   
   the opposite direction of "solar radiation" for at least 50 years.   
   (The "quiet sun" and all that stuff).

   "Global warming" refers to the global-average temperature increase   
   that has been observed over the last one hundred years or more.

   Earth's atmosphere contains natural greenhouse gases (mostly water   
   vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane) which act to keep the lower layers   
   of the atmosphere warmer than they otherwise would be without those gases.

   It has been calculated theoretically that, if there are no other   
   changes in the climate system, a doubling of the atmospheric CO2   
   concentration would cause less than 1 deg C of surface warming (about   
   1 deg. F). This is NOT a controversial statement -- it is well understood   
   by climate scientists. (As of 2008, we were about 40% to 45% of the   
   way toward a doubling of atmospheric CO2.)
