The how and the why and the caveat of following the herd, oh short of breath!

Follow the scientific bouncing ball.

1. long term out of sync sinks (limestone) are not responsive to to excess CO2 but they are responsive to excess heat. Most effective sink is southern Oceans.
2. Relatively low concentration of CO2.
3. High CO2 follows warming periods, does not lead them.
4. Feedback system would have run away long ago. (Dinosaur era was lousy with CO2)
5. proven systems of climatic variation have land mass and ocean current long term to very long term cycles.
6. sun radiation waxing and waning is very hard to quantify but may be very significant. Moreover it appears to match climatic cycles.
7. unknown effect of man's interaction with vegetation and animals, oil slicks on oceans, and jet contrails not modeled properly.
8. methane far more important and far more potent greenhouse gas, animal origin most important, being ignored.
9. CFC's are falling into disfavour suddenly as being important but nobody tells us why.
10. relative humidity of upper atmosphere not included in conventional computer models.
11. previous very hot and dry cycles of long ago, unexplained by 'exogenous' carbon excesses. i.e. there were none seemingly, yet climate changed.
12. arm waving is not science.
13. correlation is not proof of cause and effect.
14. more plausible explanation of excess CO2 is that ocean currents cause local warming of the southern seas, causing less CO2 to be absorbed.
15. We are all going to die anyway so why worry about whether it's fire or ice. As far as the human race goes, when I am gone I care not a wit what happens to the rest of them. Serves them right for not liking me more.
16. Canuck Dave and Rocket Red say I am right. So there.. splltttt!
