I don't know sonart. I thought this thread was the first about global warming so usually check it first.I've dueled with Pooey and Parrot on this thread for several years now?
Come on parrot! why do you hook on to just one issue and ignore the facts?

Not at all. The above analogy would be fine if the atmosphere acted like a single pane of glass. But it doesn't. Here's a better analogy. Take several sheets of glass and paint random patterns of small dots on them (because adding CO2 isn't like making a large brush stroke across the radiative "window" of the atmosphere). Stack two on top of each other and you should still be able to see through them just fine. Stack five or six on top of each other and your view through them should be somewhat obscured, but you'll still be able to see through them just fine. Now imagine that in order to completely block your view through the planes of glass, you had to stack hundreds of millions of layers on top of each other. That's far closer to how the actual atmosphere behaves.

The Aqua Satellite showed that predicted warming did not occur? And that water vapors cooling effects had been discounted.ergo, the predictive models were flawed? The effects of diminshing returns on the forcing effect are a minor factor even though they are scientifically sound.!
Answer the question? CO2 is being increased by humans,, how come it is getting globally cooler in the past few years by actual measurement? Logic tells me that there must be some other culprit involved in climate change? Something more dominant than CO2? There is heck of a lot more water vapor in the atmosphere that there is CO2 and almost three quarters of the planet is liquid?
We agree tha climate varies and has varied over the eons, we are discussing the cause of these cycles. I'm doubting that CO2 is the cause of the current warming cycle and it looks like my skepticm is being verified.
