OK, at least I got a picture of your argument.

Nice grub btw.

Is this a correct set of interpretations ?

[temperature = overall average Global temperature of the Earth as measured by weather stations and /or calculated temperatures using other correlated data sets such as ice cores and tree rings etc]

(i) Global temperature has gone up because of the industrial revolution. The reduction of visibility in our atmosphere from 1900 to about 1980 because of coal burning made the temperature go up ... not down.

(ii) CO2 raises temperature, it does not lower it by reflecting incident IR from the Sun back to outer space.

(iii) No other external factors are effecting temperature at the moment. Such as movement of the magnetic poles, Earths Orbit in Space, or processes within our local star we call the Sun. (Solar Cycle).

(iv) Aerosols. Aerosols do not significantly effect temperature. Processes such as volcanic activity have only a temporary effect on temperature. If humans are creating Aerosols, these increase temperature, they don't decrease the temperature.

(v) Because CO2 has raised the temperature, the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere has increased, and this has increased the temperature further. If we reverse the CO2 pressure in our atmosphere, the temperature will go back down again.

(vi) The investment in alternative technology for energy generation such as windmills and batteries for cars has less of an adverse environmental impact then traditional energy generation.

(vii) AGW is more an important investment for the human race than anything else.

Are these the reasons and the mindset we have developed to justify the financial sacrifice, the human focus, energy and effort in combating AGW?

Just making sure we see eye to eye on the matter. Feel free to make corrections.
