Quote from jem:
totally off point again.
This argument is about the fact that CO2 has increased the last 17 years but temps have not. Which therefore invalidates the models which predicted warming based on CO2 increase.
Since there has been no increase the last 17 years... something besides man made CO2 must have a lot to do with temperature change and man made CO2 must have a lot less... or no effect on earths temps.
I know you understand the argument.
Is it not time a guy like you concedes that the earths systems are complex and that science does not know if man made co2 is causing temperatures to rise.
by the way... if that were a chart of stock prices... I would want to know what the FED is going to do before I picked a direction.
if that is a chart of temps... I would like to know what the sun is going to do.
I would also admit I was making educated guess and would not go all in with transferring my wealth to other countries and trying to cap and trade away our economic future.
