Jimmy Rosseau's comment is typical of an AGW believer.



First make sure you get the insult in - ... is a denier!

Second make scary pronouncement but make sure there is no possibility the audience will be alive to verify or disprove the claim.

Third the big failing in science - appeal to the consensus.

Fourth - make sure you do not give any actual evidence, primarily because there isn't any.



If CO2 is supposed to have these "magical" powers of planet heating why is it that its measured thermal conductivity is only about 60 % of air at 25 degrees C ??



Do you know what this means ??



Do you really believe that the measured thermal conductivity is determined experimentally BUT it somehow does not include a measure of radiative conductivity ??



The properties of CO2 do not match the "backradiation" hypothesis - the radiative power of gases at ambient temperatures do not match the claims of the hypothesis either.



The energy budget as produced for the IPCC is impossible in my opinion and the whole hypothesis of manmade global warming by a trace gas of less than 0.04% of the atmosphere is fanciful.



If you consider the solar radiation is capable of heating the moon up to 120 degrees C during the day you must, if you can reason, see that the atmosphere shields us from such extreme heating during the day and you must question the framework of the hypothesis.
