Keep arguing against the person, it's the high mark of true intellectualism.

Nowhere have I asserted every weather event is due to climate change

Never said you did. You asked why I have a problem with the "science" of "climate change". That's exactly what I did.

Now, back to my question, do you or do you not accept the ironclad scientific consensus on how the greenhouse effect works?

You''re going to have to quantify "works". In thermodynamic terms. Otherwise, I can't agree to your bumper sticker memes.
