Yeah, references to Slate. Wait... to Slate? LOL Great references, shitstain.
It figures, the average global warming believer will accept anything they hear from the left wing propaganda.
Here is little reminder... scientists like to talk about their GCMs (General Circulation Models). According to those scientists, the doubling of preindustrial CO2, absent any feedbacks, would result in a maximum forcing of +1.2C, depending on a GCM used.
The General Circulation Models, and the IPCC, predict 2-8C of warming because AGW theory assumes a positive H2O feedback. They assume that if CO2 causes a little warming, the atmosphere will hold more water vapor and that more water vapor will lead to a lot of warming.
The warming predictions cover such a large range because everyone assumes a different average H2O feedback rate.
Every GCM based on this assumption has failed to model temperatures for the past 20 years. They are all trending too high. Every single one.
In the late 1990's the modelers themselves stated that "if they missed their predictions for more then a decade that would falsify AGW theory." Have they done that? Nope, they doubled down.
In fact, they're still not providing any data to suggest a +H2O feedback either now or in Earth's past.
If there is no +H2O feedback then we literally have nothing to worry about. Of course, all that is hidden from average leftist global warming believer, as long these nuts don't know the fact, there will be more funding.
Politicians, citizens, activists, surprisingly even a lot of scientists are not just ignoring it, but hiding these theories and the math. In their mind it's simply "CO2 = bad" and "experts say we're warming faster then ever.
