I guess I should preemptively strike against another very common flawed logic that the right keeps using on this topic.
Another obviously flawed logic regarding CO2 is that plants breathes in CO2 and therefore CO2 must be the planet's friend and we should pump as much of it as we can into the atmosphere to help out the plants.
Here is why this argument is flawed. We all agree that water is our friend, right? Without water, we would die. I drink several bottles of water a day. Therefore, since water is so good for us I should stick my head into a bathtub of water and never pull it out.
Ok, let me give you an example to try to show you why your logic is so obviously flawed.
Suppose I say drinking cyanide will kill you. You then point to your grandfather saying he didn't drink any cyanide and he died. You then conclude that because your grandfather died not from cyanide, it must be the case that cyanide is harmless.
See the flaw in your logic?
No one denies that climate goes through cyclical periods. That's a given. Just because the climate changes gradually over time through natural processes doesn't mean there aren't any consequence when we artificially create the change ourselves.
Let's go back to my example about death. Just because we all will die of old age eventually doesn't mean we should all drink cyanide right now to end it all.
I cannot believe you would criticize someone and use an example like that in this topic. It's a very poor example.
A correct example would be to say that salt will kill you, however it's also necessary for life. See the correlation with CO2? That's a proper example.
Furthermore while you may have a heart attack it may not because of salt, it could because of many other factors. See the correlation with global warming? Again, a proper example.

See how flawed this type of argument is?
I wouldn't suggest sticking your head into a bathtub full of CO2 either because you'll asphyxiate yourself.

Thank you for the better example.
My excuse is I've been working about 14 hours a day. But supposedly, since I'm a liberal I must be also on welfare LOL.
Sigh...right wingers....they believe in an invisible man in the sky and they believe taxes create surpluses
But...they don't believe in science
Science can only exist if it is challenged.
To believe charlatans trying to install a political agenda through human caused global warming, then global warming and now climate change, and a cadre of academic grant suckers is to swallow propaganda without a whiff of 'science'.
The only effort to convince non believers is through literary nuance.
So despite the non believers, the government has levied taxes and instiuted legislation and regulation to halt the feared human caused global warming. It doesn't matter if there are non believers because warmers have taken action.
So where are we with all the effort to date?
will it be stopped in time to save the planet?
when will the HCGW be stopped and HCglobal cooling begin?
So where is the 'science'?
