I like your graph on the T4 law, there has been a lot of work on it since the nineteenth century.

However, which side of the aisle do you stand on wrt the science of climate Watson?

(A) Do you stand on the side that we do know what’s going on, and have comprehensive theories and developed science that does understand what's going on OR....

(B) Do you state that the knowledge we have does not have a clue what going on in the atmosphere? i.e because we don’t know the values of the constants for the radiation laws for all the gases and liquids we can't predict or "know" anything??

If you are going to "prove" the latest and greatest theories on CO2 are wrong, it looks as if (A) is your only option. Yet you have thrown that option out the window already. Not exactly an impressive "proof".

You post a whole load of graphs and tables like some kindergarten kid trying to impress with their latest art project, but at the same time profess we don't know anything.

That does NOT win any argument.

I am more then happy to state my view.

There is AMPLE evidence that clearly points to that humans effect the Earth atmosphere, you have to be literally blind not to acknowledge the mounds of evidence, and it is worth studying.

If it's worth a trillion dollars to kill maybe a million people in Iraq for no discernable reason, then it's equally worth at least a trillion dollars studying climate science and the human interaction with it. Ozone, particulates, no fish in the oceans, CO2... EVERYTHING. It's money better spent, even with the frailties and inabilities of the human race ever to do anything properly.
