Maybe that's why he doesn't understand global warming, it's political.
Well, no. Anthropogenic Global Warming is not political. What is political is the politics surrounding the science of climate change.
The absorption spectrum of CO2 is not political. The mean global temperature is not political. The conversion of hydrocarbon chains into CO2, H2O and other molecules is not political. The carbon cycle isn't political. There is a reason that "science" and "politics" are different words that are not synonymous.
Some people seem to not understand the difference, making political such banal subjects as the equation of exchange. It seems that a defining characteristic of folks that are unable to separate the politics from the science is they are unable to separate the subjective from the objective. They are typically f****** idiots.
Except what you just posted is complete bullshit. co2 does not cause global warming it follows it.
Except CO2 does cause global warming. You obviously don't get that in feedback loops, external variables can drive on or the other of two the two feedback mechanisms which then drives the other.
Currently, in this recent history, particularly since about 1970, CO2 has been driven by the burning of fossil fuels. The increases CO2 then has resulted in more warming.
Warming did not cause more fossil fuel burning.
And none of that has anything to do with the fact that science and politics are two different terms because they are not the same things.
Sure, for you everything is "political".
