It still doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of the science community think the data on Global warming suggests a link between man made activity and the warming. some link with warming, but the burden of proof really should be on the AGW alarmists to show that the climate is so sensitive to CO2 that there is a strong positive coefficient to the feedback loop, which is what they have programmed into their models. Because if the climate isn't so sensitive, and the coefficient is neither positive nor negative, then doubling CO2 from 300 ppm to 600 ppm is predicted to make global temps rise by about 1 degree C. Which is nobody's idea of a disaster. And more CO2 in the atmosphere will benefit agriculture. Since nobody can directly measure the coefficient, nobody really knows if it is positive or negative. The AGW crowd theorizes it's positive.
