On point2). I think you’re trying to say that oceans don’t create CO2, but that is not my claim (the biology in the oceans might, but not the chemistry of the ocean itself). The level of CO2 absorption from the atmosphere depends on temperature, and when temperature trends warmer, CO2 is re-released.
Would you agree that IF the ocean received more solar energy, then less CO2 would be absorbed, hence a rise in atmospheric CO2 levels would occur?
What is your explanation of the correlation between sunspots and global temperatures? (Review with http://capnbob.us/blog/?p=610).
By the way, half of your energy in typing (very eloquent, I’ll admit) would be saved if you recognized that I don’t dispute that temperatures are increasing. It might even cause the catastrophic results that you say. It’s the role of CO2 in this that I’m disputing.
