But oh gee still shows a warming trend! Do you need a lesson in how to read these graphs?! Climate change is real buddy, live it, love it. No matter how much disinformation you try to spread guess what! IT'S STILL HAPPENING.
Caeldeth, I normally respect your opinion.
But as a government employee of some kind you have to sit in those stupid seminars where they brainwash you and you are grossly misinformed on some subjects.
I have an otherwise intelligent brother who was brainwashed into believing in global warming and illegal immigration as a government employee.
Both of these beliefs are flat out full blown nuts.
1. 40% of our food comes from more warmth and more CO2. A 60% growth increase since 1900. There is no chance in hell any negative that you can mention comes close to matching this benefit.
2. Tell me how much CO2 is warming the planet, exactly. It has been 40 years. You must have some clue? No?
The only study that I am aware of that even attempted to measure it came up with 0.2 W/m2 at two sites over 11 years for a 22 PPM increase. That is a quasi TSR measurement and should have been about 0.62 W/m2.
0.2 W/m2 for 22 PPM is about 1 W for the 110 PPM increase since 1900. That is 1/5- 1/3 of the warming.
Sad truth: the warming is mostly due to something else.
And given that the warming is virtually all beneficial, we wouldn't care if it was driven by CO2. CO2 is plant food.
At 460 PPM we will have doubled food production due to more CO2.
