Merrick tends to break the issue down into simple logical pieces, from what I've seen, rather than posting links.

So you start with "Is CO2 a greenhouse gas".

It is, by the way. That is solid science. Repeatable ad nauseum.

Then he asks, "Is human activity adding CO2 to the atmosphere"

You may choose to deny this, but "Yes" does seem to be the most likely answer, given that we're digging carbon from the ground, burning it in a process that creates CO2, and then releasing that CO2 into the atmosphere. If you don't think we are increasing the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere, perhaps you can explain what happens to it. Your Nobel prize awaits.

So, if the answer to the first two questions is yes, the third has to be,

"If CO2 is a greenhouse gas, and we increase the proportion of it in our atmosphere, will that increase the greenhouse effect of our atmopshere?"

What's the rational, logical answer to that question?


The rational, logical answer is that the planet is warming as expected, been warmer before: MWP - although the IPCC have tried to cover it over, there are too many pointers, Greenland used to be 'green'!! And, notice no-one metions Antarctica??? Of course, as the ice cap is thickening all of the time. Of course there's all sorts of reasons for that given.... That's the point - check icecap.us for info, just as an example, If it were all 'proven and absolute' these sites and climatologists wouldn't argue so vehemently.

Look, it may be that CO2 causes 'this' warming, we just cannot definitively prove it. No one has, albeit yet. However, the financial decisions that are being taken on a non-proven belief are too great.
