Oh, by the way, CO2 is a dominant greenhouse gas and it has gone up 35% due to man's activities. How can that NOT raise temps?
It's a trace gas and there are no studies showing the net effect of more CO2 in the atmosphere is more warming. It is all speculation. If there are, show us.
There is a lot of speculation and conjecture to arrive at the radiative effect of CO2 in those papers. The effect has never been proven and observations say the link is tenable at best. Professor Nasif Nahle is on record as having debunked the theory as it applies to CO2. http://co2insanity.com/2011/04/18/debunking-the-greenhouse-gas-theory-in-three-simple-steps/ http://claesjohnson.blogspot.com/2013/02/co2-radiative-forcing-by-modtranhitran.html Indeed, the recent observed record of temperature stability and CO2 increase cannot exist under the theories put forth by the AGW community. Something much more powerful is at work in determining the climate.
Wow, you must know more about climate science than 97% of the world's professional climatologists and all it's science organizations. Amazing. LOL
first of all 97% do not say man made co2 causes warming. secondly your study is bullshit as it only counted people published in pro agw nutter journals. the question is why was it not 100 percent.
There no longer is any serious debate of the non-existence of dangerous, accelerating global warming from human CO2 emissions - literally, from all current climate empirical evidence, it does not exist. Despite many climate scientists now being forced to reconsider their runaway "tipping point" AGW hypothesis of high climate sensitivity, and the U.S. public placing a theoretical climate change as a very low priority, there remain those political elites and mainstream "journalists" bitterly clinging to their blatantly incorrect, non-scientific, irrational (insane?) fears of "scary" global warming. In the scientific real world though, there is an abundance of peer reviewed, solid scientific evidence pointing conclusively to a future of both moderate temperature and climate change. Conclusions: ⢠Atmospheric CO2 levels have constantly increased since 1990. ⢠In contrast, the IPCC's gold-standard global dataset confirms temperatures have stalled since 1998 - actually, they have slightly cooled at a -0.08 degrees/century trend. ⢠Current global temperatures are significantly below NASA's climate model and "expert" predictions. ⢠All the major climate agency computer models, based on human CO2 emissions, have failed spectacularly. ⢠Modern weather disasters (e.g., blizzards, tropical storms, etc.) portrayed by political elites and MSM "reporters" as caused by "climate change" are the exactly the same bad weather disasters that took place during earlier periods of low atmospheric CO2. http://www.c3headlines.com/global-cooling-dataevidencetrends/

AGW Alarmists are left scrambling to explain this inconvenient truth. New data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration show atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continue to rise but global temperatures are not following suit. The new data undercut assertions that atmospheric carbon dioxide is causing a global warming crisis. NOAA data show atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rose 2.67 parts per million in 2012 to 395 ppm. The jump was the second-highest since 1959, when scientists began measuring atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Global temperatures are essentially the same today as they were in the mid-to-late 1990s, when atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were 360 ppm. Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rose 10 percent between 1995 and 2012, yet global temperatures did not rise at all. Global warming activists are having a difficult time explaining the ongoing disconnect between atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures. This isnât the first time in recent years that global temperatures have disobeyed the models presented by global warming activists. From the mid-1940s through the mid-1970s, global temperatures endured a 30-year decline even as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels rose nearly 10 percent. From 1900 through 1945, by contrast, global temperatures rose rapidly despite a lack of coal power plants, SUVs, and substantial carbon dioxide emissions. http://news.heartland.org/newspaper-article/2013/03/08/co2-keeps-rising-temperatures-refuse-follow
