There is no question the symptoms they have uncovered is true. There is no question that the burning of fossil fuels is bad for health but has little to do with global warming.

Nothing here supports this statement, we can all accept that there are influences such as those you describe and that they have an effect but as was said earlier nothing which you describe discounts the forcing effect of anthropogenic GHG's. You don't explain our current anomalous trend, it does not appear to fit simple cyclic patterns, there certainly appears to be another influence.

Most all of volcanoes erupt during the stress releasing mode and, if science cared to measure, is probably the source of most of the CO2 in the atmosphere.

The fact that you mentioned the last point would imply that you think CO2 has an effect, which contradicts your earlier sentiments. If not then as simple has said, do you think these forces alone are causing warming somehow? If so what mechanism achieves this, it is beyond anything I'm aware of? Volcanoes and such things may originally be responsible for much of the CO2 in the atmosphere, however the recent increased atmospheric concentrations can not be correlated with increased volcanic activity to any degree. It does correlate with anthropogenic emissions. If you are attributing our warming to volcanic activity I would like to point out that volcanic activity generally results in a global cooling, the high levels of particulates volcanoes pump into the upper atmosphere block out a lot of radiation and many temporary cold snaps coincide with these events, so your model may have some value in looking at shorter cooling events. Our major problem currently is a massive warming event though and I don't really feel you address that issue.
