Does increased level of CO2 cause, or is a result of, global warming?

Asked by crazyguy (3207points) October 19th, 2020

I’ll be totally honest. I always have believed that CO2 causes global warming. However, I have also been a climate change sceptic, primarily because a global warming cycle is nothing new – it has invariably been followed by a cooling cycle.

However, recently, I have been hearing about the magnetosphere, something I had never heard of before. The magnetosphere is a possible cause of our current global warming cycle and may be more important than CO2. See

I realize this question is more esoteric than most general purpose boards handle. However, I am just curious to see if there are scientifically curious posters on this board.

My question is simple. Do you think global warming is caused primarily by human production of CO2 and other greenhouse gases?
