And in the British Court the ACTUAL EVIDENCE of the rings shows Co2 as a LAGGING INDICATOR of change, which is true. When net ice melt happens, Co2 increases as it is released out of the ice that melted. It is not the CAUSE.
And that's where Greenland and North America BUST IT COLD!!!
Scientists have been able to measure radiation-in/radiation-out directly and precisely for more than 50 years.
Radiation-in has not changed as the earth warmed.
Radiation re-emitted back out is being blocked at the exact spectral wavelengths of the GHGs (Greenhouse gases)
CO2 is not the only GHG. (water vapor, Methane, etc)
Methane/CH4 is 20-80 as powerful. (from livestock), and the snowball effect of other GHG warming which releases more methane from the warming oceans and melting tundra.
CO2 is up from 280 PPM to 410, mainly in the last 70 (of 170) years.
Methane has Tripled.
Previous warming cycles were caused by orbital changes of angle or distance leading to more radiation-in, aka 'solar forcing.'
We/they know that is/was Not the case this time.
GHGs, as serious Deniers know/use, usually LAG that solar forcing... but this time are leading it! Because they also contribute to warming even in a natural cycle. (GHG definition).
This cycle was Not caused by increased solar energy but rather those gases increased/blanket thickened at an unprecedented rate Compared to natural cycles.
