there is a way to approximate\u00a0how much, if any, CO2 has contributed to the warming<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Quantify the change in atmospheric water vapor over the last 40 years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) correlate that to the change in temperatures based on the increase of grams\/kg of wv in the atmosphere<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why I am so gung ho on water vaport (WV). THE MAJOR INCREASE SHOWS UP IN THE COLDEST DRIEST AREAS.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0So if we can approximate the increase of WV ( we should have been tracking this religiously as it explains temperatures. Temperatures are a poor climate metric Wet bulb temperatures are much better and saturation mixing ratios are best) it will be able to explain much of the warming. What is left over is CO2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have no correlation between CO2 and\u00a0temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have water vapor and\u00a0temperature\u00a0 ( saturation mixing ratio). We have been tracking the increase in CO2.\u00a0 \u00a0 It seems that makes little sense if you are not tracking the increase in water vapor since we can correlate it to temperature changes at different temperatures. We can not\u00a0do that with CO2.\u00a0 So it leaves us with people pushing an agenda and not even showing the major elephant in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It comes down to this, How much water vapor is in the air now compared to 40 years ago?\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you approximate that, you then look at changes in temperature relative to that.\u00a0 Since for instance .1gram\u2019\/kg is correlated with a 10-degree rise at -40F. but it takes 90x more at 85 degrees, with\u00a0the\u00a0increase in water vapor having to be greater to affect temperatures the higher the temperature goes,\u00a0 one can figure out what the average increase grams\/kg is across the planet and then apply it to the temperature. You can\u2019t do that for CO2. No weather is driven by CO2.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next logical step is to ask where the source of the WV is.\u00a0 It\u2019s the ocean.\u00a0 Why are the oceans warming?\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer that it is because of co2 makes no sense given we don\u2019t even have a temperature correlation to it, Its assumed and force-fed down people\u2019s throat without even adding in another natural cause, and one that I suspect is purposely ignored or dismissed because of what it may reveal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should you not be skeptical of CO2 induced warming when 1) there is no attempt to quantify and correlate the increase in the most important GHG, water vapor?. 2) There is no attempt to explain the oceanic warming, other than blaming it somehow on the very CO2 that takes a back seat to Water Vapor in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So figure out the rise due to the ocean warming. There is no way that if the oceans were as cold as 40 years ago we would have had the warming we have had.\u00a0 I suspect whatever is leftover\u00a0 can arguably be attributed to man but would be so small it would blow the whole man-made climate change agenda out of the water<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which is what these underwater volcanoes, if\u00a0we research them, may do in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
