We don't deny that C02 is a greenhouse gas, we don't deny the fact that humans and our technology produce CO2 and we don't deny that there is a greenhouse effect.  

 

Our position is not based on denying those facts, its based on accepting the entire picture of the climate and atmospheric composition.  

 

In reality CO2 isn't the strongest greenhouse gas and in reality its not even close.  The most powerful greenhouse gas is actually Water Vapor which occurs naturally and we can do nothing to affect.  This alone counts for 95% of the greenhouse effect.  Then you have the more complex carbon molecules that are orders of magnitude stronger than CO2.  When you weight out intensity human presence and human activity accounts for roughly about one quarter of one percent (.26%) of the green house effect.  We see this in the data.  The population of the earth has doubled over the last 40 years, our technological advances have raced ahead and we see the two most populous nations on the planet going through their own break out of the middle class.  All that correlates to an exponential increase in CO2 emissions, while at the same time we are looking at a flat temperature curve for the better part of 2 decades.  That supports the above weighted view of human contribution to the greenhouse effect and how that affects surface temperatures and contradicts AGCC. 

 

Taking a closer look, we are beginning to see data manipulation and furious recalculations on the part of those who espouse AGCC.  Science is fundamentally the pursuit of truth.  When you see people who have a vested financial interest in advancing a certain conclusion sending emails proposing to change the peer review process to keep dissenting opinions from qualified climate scientists from being taken seriously on the world stage then you are dealing with a political movement and not a scientific one.
