You would THINK that after the so-called spectre of 'Global Warming' appeared OVER TEN YEARS AGO that a more certain determination COULD HAVE BEEN MADE by now, but no, it hasn't been.

Despite all the SCREAMING by the looney left, simply hounding an agenda won't make it come true.

And when it comes to *increased* levels of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere - can you explain why if it's DUE to the burning so-called "fossil fuels" (a giant misnomer, for a substantial part of the make-up of the Earth is carbon or carbon compounds!) -

- why hasn't the level of Oxygen in the atmosphere decreased? (That's what concerns ME.)

Is all this 'global warming' stuff just bunk?

Yes.

I'm not arguing that the IPCC scientists are right. I'm no expert. I'm arguing that their views can't be dismissed because, in your view, they're politically incorrect, inconvenient, or threatening to your world-view.

If you want to say that liberals have made more of the issue than the facts warrent you'll get no argument from me.

"You would THINK that after the so-called spectre of 'Global Warming' appeared OVER TEN YEARS AGO that a more certain determination COULD HAVE BEEN MADE by now"

No. Wrong. It often takes a very long time to verify a theory that is fundamentally new. The problem is what to do at this stage...where the facts point in a certain direction, but the theory is still not all that strong...and the consequences of being wrong are quite terrible.
