Quote:Fair enough. So do we not think the amount of pollution we add as humans impacts climate?
 

I impact climate just by having a body temperature higher than the outside air. I raise the sea level every time I take a swim in the ocean. The question is how much impact. My point is that the actual measurements prove that the effect of CO2 isn't any stronger than the sum of all other factors. It could possibly be much lower, but 'the pause' shows it can't possibly be higher. I personally believe that CO2 has some measurable effect on global temperatures. But there is still no scientific proof that my belief is true.


The uncertainty among scientists is much higher than (say) The Guardian makes it out to be, and the range of expectations as to what will happen varies from good to very bad. The press likes to print predictions of very bad, it makes for better headlines. Future climate disaster is more likely to come from the next glaciation than from any warming. The biosphere likes CO2, and it likes warm.
