Climate science indicates that the increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere initiates a positive feedback cycle that drives temperatures higher.

Ya see, this is the kind of stuff that gets me riled.

With all due respect, simply attributing the speculative association of C02 with a positive feedback global thermal mechanism to "Climate Science" is about as valid as claiming it is based upon the the number of hairs on a goat's chin.

"Climate science" is not a "thing" that has absoluteness to it. It is a "field" that has many experts who often disagree and often put forward scientific theories, that are later disproven.

Take any branch of science, and show me where they have gotten it right on the first pass..or the second..or the third???

Climate science my ass. I am not going to change my lifestyle one iota for climate science, or for those who promote it as if they have a 100% understanding of how it works. I prefer to worry about a meteor crashing into us, or a renegade band of aliens, or perhaps a retrovirus taking out mankind. There are too many reasonable sources of global destruction to put your money on CO2.

Your attitude toward science is noted, since apparently what science has concluded doesn't agree with your preconceptions.

Some things can be controlled (though it may take some effort), some things can't. Do you have or expect to have grandchildren?

There's basic climate science such as studies of proxies, forcing, feedback and weather. There's also modeling. Here's some uses of a popular open source model: http://www.ccsm.ucar.edu/publications/PhD%20and%20Masters%20Theses.htm Some of these are scientific, some are just GIGO, i.e. using the model, varying parameters, looking at changes but performing absolutely no comparison to the real world in any way. And among the scientific studies it is pretty clear that the model does not match reality in general.
