I would like to see the methodology and data for the CO? levels. That said, it doesn't mean CO? is the driver for increased temperatures.
Throughout its existence, the planet has cooled and warmed - in conjunction with natural increases and decreases in CO? levels. However, throw some man-made sh?t into the atmosphere and I'm sure it'll also have an impact, but to what end? It simply cannot be accurately measured and then singularly targeted as the sole cause. But it certainly can be used as a driver for fear and to make a lot of money.
Every science paper on this subject says: the belief is; the theory is; the prediction is; the modelling suggests; the hypothesis is....
Here's a classic example: 'In fact, before human-caused warming began, scientists believe the Earth was roughly due to enter a cooling cycle (although research to confirm this is ongoing).' Why make such a statement without having the evidence to substantiate the claim? Because, it makes the current narrative sound even worse - what, we were actually going into an ice age, and now humans have forced a warming trend!
For the last 50 years, global temperature rose at an average rate of about 0.13?C (around one-quarter degree Fahrenheit) per decade-almost twice as fast as the 0.07?C per decade increase observed over the previous half-century. In the next 20 years, scientists project that global average temperature will rise by around 0.2?C (about one-third of a degree Fahrenheit) per decade. That's all great, but where's the transparency; where were the measurements taken, by what method, by what equipment, by who, etc, etc....
I'll keep going back to COVID; the science says.... and who is the 'science'. It's easy to claim anything without transparency.
Just because you don't believe it doesn't make it untrue
