Post hoc ergo propter hoc. Just like blaming the current cycle of global warming (just one of dozens in the last 4 million years) on human activity
PS: For those whose Latin is rusty, it means "after this therefore because of this", and is the motto of all those with faulty cause-effect reasoning. Translation, just as the little ice age ended during the killing of 50,000 witches, there are those who blame cyclical global warming on the CO2 being released into the air. Neither has anything to do with the other. Funny thing----atmospheric levels of CO2 haven't really changed all that much, and are not even at a high of the last 100 years.
