True cause of global warming

I know for a fact that the real cause of global warming is heat. Get rid of heat and things will be sweet.

They built this big machine, 8000 cubic miles of klystron relays, enough power for a whole population of creative geniuses:
But did all the effort stop them from getting eaten? No! Consumed by monsters from the deep, Morbius:
And now all we have to remember the Krill by is their music:
If you MUST eat meat, make it a whale of a sandwich!

If they make some silly irrelevant post about Krill/Krell confusion, then they deserve the undying gratitude of all of mankind for not taking threads like this seriously.
Being exceedingly lazy, I'm going to copy and paste from a post I made to a Yahoo airship forum several years ago on not only the subject of oxygen depletion, but my opinion on global warming debates like this one.Palmpilot said:

I'm not sure if that number makes sense. Several years ago I was asked
by Bob Freitas (among others he asked) to review a paper of his titled
"Some Limits to Global Ecophagy by Biovorous Nanoreplicators, with
Public Policy Recommendations"[1]. In it, he determined that one could
burn the entire biosphere and consume only ~0.5% of atmospheric oxygen.
That is probably because the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere is a
result of the action of cyanobacteria in the early history of the
earth.[2][3] Much of what was "reduced" is now buried in sedimentary
rock (just to be clear - this is not referring to fossil fuels.)
On the other hand, all I have is a lowly BSc in physics. I cannot claim
any certainty of knowledge with regard to global warming. I do not know
how anyone not trained in climatology, paleoclimatology, or even college
level physics can go about making claims one way or another on this
subject. Applied physics is a vast field and it isn't clear why some
people have no problem making authoritative claims or counter-arguments
on the subject but would probably couldn't debate General Relativity,
String Theory, or Quantum Electrodynamics if their life depended on it
-- unless they had web sites handy to grab "talking points" off of.
The level of math and/or experimental observation of those latter
subjects is probably comparable to that of climate modeling and
prediction. And yet many now claim expertise on climate models. Hmmm.
