What will you do when the debate really is over about how much CO2 is caused by humans?

Thats not even an issue.

Oh great.. now you'll be haranguing us with data from a Japanese "Fart Sat".

I mean, come on.. we all know that people and animals emit CO2 and methane. The path your taking is obviously Malthusian because the only solution would be to decrease the population in order to "save the planet" (as if the planet needed saving considering what "Mother Nature" has wrought upon herself).

Why not try and figure out what is preventing the planetary ecosystem (flora) from absorbing excess CO2 production? And while you're at it, find out why we're seeing decreasing quantities of oceanic marine life and what would be necessary to replenish it.

And then try and figure out what Solar Cycle 25 has in store for us. You might actually find yourself feeling foolish about opposing GG emissions if we find ourselves in another "mini-iceage" like the Maunder Minimum (which I personally suspect we're due for).
