Since the temp is going down, we need more Co2 to get the planet warmer, and to produce more forests. This is a self balancing system after all.

 Abstract. Antarctic ice cores provide clear evidence of a close coupling between variations in Antarctic temperature and the atmospheric concentration of CO₂ during the glacial/interglacial cycles of at least the past 800-thousand years. Precise information on the relative timing of the temperature and CO₂ changes can assist in refining our understanding of the physical processes involved in this coupling. Here, we focus on the last deglaciation, 19 000 to 11 000 yr before present, during which CO₂ concentrations increased by ~80 parts per million by volume and Antarctic temperature increased by ~10 °C. Utilising a recently developed proxy for regional Antarctic temperature, derived from five near-coastal ice cores and two ice core CO₂ records with high dating precision, we show that the increase in CO₂ likely lagged the increase in regional Antarctic temperature by less than 400 yr and that even a short lead of CO₂ over temperature cannot be excluded. This result, consistent for both CO₂ records, implies a faster coupling between temperature and CO₂ than previous estimates, which had permitted up to millennial-scale lags.

So when it’s record cold winters that’s just “weather” and not climate thus irrelevant to the debate. But just one record hot summer and it’s all “The Day After” time again and Vegas being beachfront property in 5 years. We’ve seen this movie already.

Kinda like the Greenland ice falling into the ocean and almost sinking a boat in the summertime. CO2 reflects the sunlight as all things in the atmosphere does. I f there is any warming it is because there is less stuff up there not more.

from http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/01/al_gores_last_theorem.html

I conclude therefore with a little syllogism of my own, which I tentatively name Al Gore’s Last Theorem:

1. Warmist Climate Scientist claim AGW climate model predicts impending global doom, prevention of which requires All of Mankind to make substantial sacrifices
2. Warmist Climate Scientists will not make substantial sacrifices i.e. publishing their proprietary computer codes.
3. “All of Mankind” contains the entire subset, “Warmist Climate Scientists”.

Therefore: Given 3, statements 1 and 2 are logically incompatible. Statement 1 is false.
