and THAT is a direct result of humans burning petroleum and petroleum-based products.
Where's the proof? Man produces only 7 of 150 Billion tons of CO2 annually, which is only 4%.

BTW 1% more terrestrial vegetation could take the whole problem away.

The problem being that the CO2 that mankind produces comes from outside the current carbon cycle (it's been locked underground for millions of years). So, 7 billion tons extra to the carbon cycle each year adds up quickly.
And, speaking as the SO of a scientist: NO. Science does not happen overnight (well, technically speaking, it does happen over the nighttime, but it doesn't happen in a single anything [day, night, month, year, whatever]).
