The entire AWG Alarmists Hypothesis depends on one thing only and that is the Climate is Highly sensitive to Carbon Dioxide. We know that Carbon Dioxide is a green house gas but the question of the Climate being highly sensitive to increases in this gas has not been proven. More and more evidence is being compiled daily that seem to refute this assertion. The real question that has not been answered to any degree of confidence is how much warming can we expect from a given rise in Carbon Dioxide. Much of the estimates are based on estimates. We do not know how much Carbon Dioxide will increase in 100 years. It is impossible to know. Is there enough fossil fuel to burn to cause a rise of twice the current concentration in 100 years. How long does Carbon Dioxide remain in the atmosphere? I have seen figures from a few years to 100 years. More is unknown than known and the science is just in its infancy and hardly settled.
