Richard, now you are a conspiracy theorist?
“It would be cherry-picking to assess the periods from 1997 or 1999 because the start of the present cooling period was 1998.”
This is one pile of steaming stupid, Richard. Great circular reasoning. “It’s proper to pick 1998 to prove that world has cooled because 1998 is the year that the world started to cool.”
You, sir, are about as dishonest as they come.
“Your assertion that, “CO2 has the effect of retaining heat in the atmosphere, hence the warming” is so wrong that there is not room to provide a full refutation of it here.”
Utter BS. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and accounts for around 15% of the greenhouse effect. This has been known for DECADES and is undisputed in the literature. This is problem with people like you Richard, you make up your own facts. See Ramanathan and Coakley (1978) and, while you’re at it, it looks like you could read Spencer Weart’s book too.
Post a link or a citation of a peer reviewed source that says CO2 is not a GHG or admit you are a lying shill. I expect silence on this matter. I think we both know how full of it you are.
