You comments on AGW, I refer to it as science pornography, suggests you may believe the idiots who proclaim a 1 part in 10,000 increase on CO2 is impacting global temperatures. You comments suggest to me that you believe that so many say it's so that their consensus makes it so. That would lead me to conclude you are too stupid in science comprehension to be able to identify someone who understands the global warming issue and know if they are informed or as stupid as you. The impact of CO2 in radiation modulation of the greenhouse effect is next to nothing. Now this lower chart suggests Cold weather is coming, especially sense the solar calm yields prediction the Count will go to record levels in 2023. Now this data can be downloaded and plotted by anyone. You think it's really getting warmer. And how does the SUN vary over time and impact global temperatures. Notice the real lows 88 to 92. and then it was really warm in 1998. About 11 years later.

So now you can call me a Democrat You don't need to be a D to believe in the hooey. I am a chemical engineer so know a bit about thermodynamics, etc. The levels of CO2 presently in the atmosphere are way too low to result in the cataclysmic phenomena predicted. Besides it just doesn't pass any common sense test. If you've ever worked with an IR spectrometer that wasn't purged you would see massive absorption throughout the IR spectrum due to water vapor and a little bump due to CO2. I've lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years and in the time the sea level hasn't moved squat. Over the past 10k years it has gone up about 350' so why isn't all this warming keeping up that trend?
