re: US temperature data suggest CO2 does NOT cause warming.

Ever notice when a cold front comes through and baton Rouge drops 30 degrees and Nola drops 10, and then slowly drops the next 20?

Look at an aerial map of Nola and you will see why. Hint- all the water that surrounds the city

It is also clear that more carbon particles in the atmosphere prevent the suns rays from reflecting back into space (thicker atmosphere).

This also affects how much of the sun's rays make it in, in the first place.

I have been telling people for a decade that when you examine ice core data, you find that CO2 is consistently a lagging indicator of previous warming rather than a driver of warming. Atmospheric CO2 increased as a lagging indicator of the end of the mini ice age. When it stopped warming, natural CO2 stopped increasing a few decades later.

and thats why you're the king, Bob...

I always heard that ice core samples place that lag at an average of 800 years...

So, just to clarify. CO2 does cause warming.

But it concomitantly leads to 'greening' which generates water vapor. Atmospheric water buffers the CO2 forcing effect.

Does that kind of sum it up?

Increased CO2 has virtually no effect on the heat capacity of air.

Weird that that goes against observations and basic physics that say you're wrong.

Idiot. CO2 is only about 0.04% of the composition of air. Better yet, it's heat capacity is ~0.85 kJ/kg-K. Air is... 1.0kJ/kg-K. So go ahead and tell us how raising the concentration of CO2 is going to raise the heat capacity of air. You're out of your league. Do you even know what heat capacity is?

This is a great website and organization.

CO2 Coalition is the nation’s leading organization providing facts, resources and information about the vital role carbon dioxide plays in our environment

About Us
The CO2 Coalition was established in 2015 as a non-partisan educational foundation operating under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code for the purpose of educating thought leaders, policy makers, and the public about the important contribution made by carbon dioxide to our lives and the economy. The Coalition seeks to engage in an informed and dispassionate discussion of climate change, humans’ role in the climate system, the limitations of climate models, and the consequences of mandated reductions in CO2 emissions.

In carrying out our mission, we seek to strengthen the understanding of the role of science and the scientific process in addressing complex public policy issues like climate change. Science produces empirical, measurable, objective facts and provides a means for testing hypotheses that can be replicated and potentially disproven. Approaches to policy that do not adhere to the scientific process risk grave damage to the economy and to science.
