Complex dynamics of Earth's climate not fully understood
Complex dynamics of Earth's climate not fully understood☜The Earths climate is a dynamic system in constant flux and dependent upon many variables. Its always changing in ways we barely understand and which are difficult to predict. In this context, the narrative of dangerous anthropogenic disruption remains a hypothesis open to challenge.☜98CE71

Earth's climate influenced significantly by other factors☜Other (non-human factors) exert a significant influence on the Earths climate making it difficult to draw any firm conclusions about the significance of antropogenic effects.☜98CE71

Increase in CO2 has always followed not led rises in temperature
Increase in CO2 has always followed not led rises in temperature☜Ice-cores dating back nearly one million years show a pattern of temperature and CO2 rise at roughly 100,000-year intervals. But the CO2 rise has always come after the temperature rise, not before, presumably as warmer temperatures have liberated the gas from oceans.☜98CE71

Water vapour impact far outweighs impact of CO2 »
Water vapour impact far outweighs impact of CO2
Water vapour impact far outweighs impact of CO2☜Water vapour is the most significant greenhouse gas, accounting for around 98% of the Earths natural greenhouse warming effect. So changes in carbon dioxide or methane concentrations will have a relatively small impact.☜98CE71

Case for low CO2 effect on climate totally lacks supporting evidence »
Case for low CO2 effect on climate totally lacks supporting evidence
Case for low CO2 effect on climate totally lacks supporting evidence☜It is indisputable physical fact that the CO2 we have released will increase earth temps by~1*C. Climate Sensitivity (CS) means that 1*C will be increased to ~3*C by action on feedbacks like water vapour and albedo (reflectivity). Sceptics have been totally unable to establish a case for low CS.☜EF597B
