Only numb nut trolls go around correcting scientists without linking or citing to any work or science.
Its not whether CO2 it actually is a thermostat... or even whether or not it acts as a negative feedback system...
it is that co2 acts like a thermostat...
"A thermostat is a component of a control system which senses the temperature of a system so that the system's temperature is maintained near a desired setpoint. The thermostat does this by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature. The name is derived from the Greek words thermos "hot" and statos "a standing"."

regarding the consensus of probability... who cares... I suspect we could be warming the earth too...
the question is show us the science that says man made co2 is doing the warming.
Only an idiot would post a proof of my statement and claim it proves theirs instead. By the definition of thermostat above it is clear that CO2 does NOT work like a thermostat. You are incredibly stupid to still not understand the difference between a blanket and thermostat or to think the thermosphere is even relevant.
Of course, you are an intellectual fraud so it doesn't matter to you. You're just blindly swinging away hoping something hits. It's pathetic.
Here is the science that says man made CO2 is doing the warming....
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. There is no question about it.
Man has increased levels by 40%. There is no question about it.
These guys know something about it...
American Physical Society
"The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earthâs physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now." (2007)8
