the facts about global warming

[Questioning_Climate]

Jason_85, I'm perfectly aware of your flawed arguments and I do not need to read through the thread again. My comments were to try to help you; clearly you think otherwise.

CO2 is not the dominant radiative forcing mechanism. There are a great many more significant factors affecting climate.

Maybe you would like to explain why CO2 driven radiative forcing from the much greater levels of the past did not cause thermal runaway?

You say this as if it's not something every climate scientist already knows. This does not mean CO2 didn't drive up temperatures, it just shows that CO2 wasn't responsible for starting the interglacials.

I recommend you go back through the thread and read the discussions up to now.

What does this mean? How can radiative forcing cause changes in CO2 without CO2 increasing radiative forcing?
