true. correlation does not equal causation

In Response To: Re: might want to talk to modern science (James Chantler)

but causation always means correlation

and wouldn't it be a remarkable coincidence IF

-CO2 which we know (and no one disputes this. no one not even global warming critics) traps heat has been going up the last 100 yrs

-earth's mean temp has been going up the last 100 yrs

-they both happen to rise together during the same time frame

so you're right regression or statistics in general is never epistemological proof...but it would be an incredible coincidence if they were not cause and effect going on
