Have you read the papers I sighted? They are not nearly as elegant as the Theory of Relativity. There is no definitive proof that CO2 causes global warming. None. Only theories and math to back up those theories. (Yes gravity is a theory too, but once again, a provable one.) Do I believe CO2 is probably is the cause? Yes. But even the scientists you site, say only that. That it is the most probable cause. Do I believe that C02 causes global warming, yes, probably. (And I use the term probably in the scientific and mathematical context of "most likely".) But, can I ever be certain? No. Not based on current science. Do I see an argument for not spending billions, on speculation? Yes. Do I agree with that position? No. But that, as I said, is politics. Not science. Dan D.
