The premise upon which this AGW house of cards rests is with CO2, particulaly man-made CO2. I’m not claiming humans have NO impact on climate, only that it’s much smaller than the natural variation. Empirical data (not models) shows this. CO2 has been rising since 1800, well before humans came up, and the climate has both cooled and warmed in that time period. CO2 is a lagging metric when you look at the temperature trends over 400,000 years.
Just because I do not believe in the models that IPCC puts forth does not mean I don’t care about the environment. I just see a lot of damage in scientific thought as this “global warming” hysteria grows. Futhermore, we simply do not know enough about climite to really predict it. The bullying tactics of environmental organizations (including IPCC), and corresponding squelching of scientific dissent among qualified climate scientists are quite known and articles can be easily found by searching the web. It is not publicized, because the media is very one-sided in giving the public the story.
