Environment - January 2007

In science, I learned that noise-cancelling headphones seem to block out noise by 'reading' the incoming sound waves and producing an exact match of each one, but in the opposite directions, so a wave with either a smaller frequency and wavelength or none at all is 'produced.' Heat from the sun travels in many different forms, but they are all waves, so couldn't the same thing be applied to the infrared or other waves that cause heat? I'm not saying to totally neutralize all incoming heat in all of its forms or even one form. I'm also not saying that I know this would work or that I know how to do it(I'm only 13,) but I just came up with it while I was watching 'An Inconvenient Truth.' Again, I have no idea how to do this, but can anyone tell me whether or not it would work?

Note: I live in New York City and I am referring to Flushing's Kissena Park lake in particular. I was deciding on doing research on the lake for a project, but realized that the lake might be frozen.

Data from the Law Dome Ice core and from the atmospheric monitoring station at Mauna Loa show that atmospheric CO2 levels began to rise due to man made green house gases in 1800 and have continued to increase to this day.

Post industrial revolution global temperatures as measured by NASA, however, did not begin to show an increase until about 1900.

If the current warming trend is due primarily to man made green house gases, what caused the 100 year delay?

This is the third in a series of questions related to the science involving global warmin an climate change. Please see question 1 & 2 as well.

The rulers remain:

1) Answers must be responsive to the question
2) Critisism and disagreement are welcome, but ad hominem attacks on anyone will be reported as abuse
3) Answers must be supported by referenced evidence.

To see that all this global warming scare is nothing but that, a scare; and no I'm not saying that there aren't environmental issues, they are real. But, scaring a generation into believing that they should completely change their lifestyle because the world will burn up if don't isn't the way to go about getting it done.

Is there scientific measurement data or test results that prove global warming on Earth is caused by C02 or any other greenhouse gas? An answer could include a reference to a journal article or possibly some commonly observable fact.
