It should be obvious to those of us aware of our habitat, that global warming is a fact. It has happened before, but a new element causing this warming seems to be humans.

The burning of fossil fuels creates carbon dioxide, but it couldn't be the only cause of the abnormal rise of heat in the last 50 years.

Electricity creates heat. We seem to have more control of the heat when the electricity is limited to its exposure to the atmosphere using wires. Perhaps the unusual change in weather around the globe can be traced back to the time we started to use electricity unfettered, with unwired devices, such as cell phones, iPads and unwired computers.

We know our atmosphere conducts electricity. Can we prove or disprove this hypothesis?
