But the majority of this post deals with the SkepticalScience mantra that “CO2 has indeed been the dominant cause of the change in surface temperature over the past century.” For those who have read my post The IPCC Says, “The Observed Patterns of Warming…, And Their Changes Over Time, Are Only Simulated By Models That Include Anthropogenic Forcing” or who have watched my narrated video included in the post The IPCC Says… – The Video – Part 1 (A Discussion About Attribution)the second part of this post will be familiar. I have simply presented that portion of this post a little differently, so if you have studied either of those two posts, you may wish to scroll down through the illustrations and section headings. ........
