Global Warming - A Logical Fallacy

It's been argued by many people, especially liberals, that global warming is caused by human factors. Factories, cars, ad power plants are to blame for the warming of our planet. This argument is a NON SEQUITUR. Correlation does not indicate causation - There could be a bunch of different reasons why the planet is warming, and just because it started happening right at our industrial revolution doesn't mean we're the cause. We COULD be the cause, but you can't make a logical argument that we are just based on the fact that how we live and how the planet is warming are correlated.

    Is correlation REALLY the only evidence climate scientists are using to reach these conclusions? Be careful of creating a version of the Straw Man in your own arguments.
