No shit, sherlock.. Of course we have a "GG" effect.. That's not in question.. The question is whether there are OTHER, more potent, GG gases than CO2 that are the problem, or is this more natural than man-caused.. And then what degree of warming is occurring in comparison to the paleo-climatic record and is it "irreversible" because of some perceived "tipping point".. What factors limit the increase of such GG in the atmosphere is ALSO a critical issue. Frankly, I'm more concerned about some tectonic event disturbing methane hydrate deposits, thereby releasing them into the atmosphere. en.wikipedia.org How are you going to prevent, or mitigate, such an event? Geo-engineering authorized? Spewing reflective gases into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight? All kinds of possibilities to maintain some form of temperature balance that we currently experience.. But let's NEVER FORGET that "mother nature" has been more responsible for creating catastrophic climate change than mankind ever could.. Hawk
