Boris: “As a scientist, I’m sure you are aware that CO2 is a greenhouse gas and that adding more will increase surface temperature and decrease upper stratospheric temperature. And I’m sure you know that this has been exactly what we have observed.”
What you are missing is that there is no dispute on this. The problem is that this would never cause enough heating to cause a problem (max 1 degree Celsius). So to get the required emergency, the alarmists theorized that the environment is a positive feedback system with a tipping point.
There is no evidence that the climate is subject to positive feedback and in fact a lot of evidence that it isn’t. Most people, especially those who are in the alarmist camp don’t actually understands the global warming theory. Learning the actual theory is usually the first step in realizing how preposterous it is.
