A great article at the American Thinker.com, our go-to site for high quality material debunking the climate change scam, details how the hypothesis that carbon dioxide is warming the planet is based upon idealised lab models of carbon dioxide in closed, non-dynamic systems, quite unlike the open system that the Earth’s climate system actually is. The take-home lesson is this: “Earth's atmosphere is often described by physicists and meteorologists as chaotic and nonlinear. Among many climate unknowns are the respective warming and cooling effects of water vapor and clouds and the drivers of major oceanic oscillations such as El Niño. These unknowns are why Steven Koonin titled his recent climate book Unsettled. Given the large body of pertinent unknowns, it is hubris to think we can predict future global climates and attribute causes a century and more out. But we are entirely within the bounds of scientific reason to dismiss CO2 as a climate "control knob" based on its limited effect on radiation transfer. It's also reasonable to think we have no serious business monitoring CO2 levels, much less destroying our energy independence to mitigate them.”
