Quote from bigdavediode:
And what do you think accumulating CO2 would mean for temperature, since you've already conceded that CO2 absorbs energy? Lower temperatures?
until you establish causation it does not matter what I think or what you think or gore thinks as it is just a guess.
If the question is - does man cause global warming
and your answer is ... the earth is accumulating CO2....you have made a non answer...
man's action may be irrelevant, it may have no effect, or it may accelerate a process which is inevitable... and that acceleration may be a benefit or a detriment to mans future or the earth's future.
Would I prefer to preserve the status quo... yes. Do I want to transfer more of our countries wealth to china and india because of clima guessers - no.
