It's not complicated at all.
People have their agendas and ignorance is a big part of it.

Wow-

This is statistical absurdity of AGW and the presumption that CO2 now causes every climate swing is hilarious. If you just paused, stood back and read your own statement, perhaps you would appreciate how comical that contention actually is.

Again, so all of the other factors that influence climate no longer exist (as they always have for the billions of years of earth history) and THE ONLY INFLUENCE IS CO2? That is simply ridiculous.

So, in your mind, the following no longer exist:

1. the orbit of the earth around the sun

2. solar activity

3. ocean currents

4. methane

5. water vapor

6. volcanos

7. termites

9. cattle

Not only are you ignorant of climate science, you cannot even read what I posted..

At no time have I ever said that what you listed above have ceased to exist....By the way....Methane and CO2 emitted by cattle, people or termites is still a greenhouse gas

....It's entertaining to observe a mind like yours, but I think since you have such a severe reading comprehension problem, and think you can read minds, I'll give up responding to you....

If it were only that easy. This isn't a grade school science project, it's just a little more complicated than what you would suggest.

Insulation in your house will trap heat. Are the windows open? There is many variables that can affect climate making it a very complex understanding.

Here is the full display of dishonesty and ignorance of the cult of deniers.

They resort to putting words in people's mouth when they arguments are shown to be false. I mean seriously....termites? That dumb thread got locked up by mods because it was so dumb...

It is complex. However the fact remains we are adding more greenhouses to the atmosphere than would be added otherwise if all things remain equal.

YOU SAID that the MAJOR CAUSE of "climate change" for the last century IS CO2. I did not say that- you did.

It is beyond ignorant to assume that other causes of "climate change" are still not the predominant factors. To assume CO2 is the major cause of "climate change" is simply absurd and belies your lack of understand of statistics and refusal to examine temperatures and CO2 levels throught earth's history.

Another quip which addresses nothing. Why? Because the AGW cult cannot explain all of the inconsistencies in thier cult and have to resort to short retorts, rather than address the issues.

Simply amazing. This is similar to the Jim Jones cult in which all rational thought is discarded and the AGW cult knows ONE THING- CO2 KILLS- that is it.

YOU have revealed your ignorance when you stated that the carbon ISOTOPES were different in the past than they are today and thus ancient CO2 is different than CO2 today!!! Yet you claim to "know science"! You just can't make these things up if you tried- it is comedy at its best.

Science is used selectively these days.

All of the other variables have been ruled out.
