Not 97% but .3% of Climatologists agree.

Quote from futurecurrents:

Salby is a joke so of course you quote him. He's as confused as you turds are. That's the general consensus among real climate scientists. Salby is not respected. He is one of the 3%.

If you want we can into the details of why is wrong but let's try to concentrate on the simple science of CO2 properties.

So everyone understands that -to make it simple - CO2 is like the glass in a greenhouse right?

Watch the video. It is explained with nice CO2 diagrams showing the earth with numbers that nobody can argue with. This should clear up your confusion.
 
Let's do a thought experiment here.

Let's pretend that conservatives were the ones warning of global warming and liberals said it was a hoax.

Then, as co2 levels rose, the earth's temperature did nothing for fifteen years.

So the conservatives said 'the heat must be hiding in the ocean'.

Can you imagine the snl skits and the bill maher monologues?

Those climate questions are legitimate and can be answered by science, not snl.

The video with its nice diagrams hasn't stood up to even the most basic scientific scrutiny plus it contradicts its own premise and people have argued with the numbers as they don't stand up.

Watching it won't mend it.
 
what a troll misdirection... you just wrote.

some of the agw nutters have argued their speculation is superior to Salbys... but you can't argue the core of his message was discredited because recently the IPCC and top agw nutters scientists have admitted the agw nutter models need to incorporate sun, tides and other forcings.

Which is the point of Salby's last ten minutes. The models were too simplistic and the earths atmosphere is complicated.

In fact... just recently... Salbys points were implicity confirmed by NASA... in the experiment I showed you in which NASA confirmed CO2 and other greenhouse gases also cool.

Carbon dioxide and nitric oxide are natural thermostats,” explains James Russell of Hampton University, SABER’s principal investigator. “When the upper atmosphere (or ‘thermosphere’) heats up, these molecules try as hard as they can to shed that heat back into space.”

Quote from futurecurrents:

OK. Let's try this.

Does anyone here deny that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, or not understand what the term "greenhouse gas" means?
At 0.036% of the atmosphere, I'm not too worried about it.

...didn't you just.

The video/Salby has gotten nowhere simply because what he says is not scientifically valid.
