I’m still not sure that everyone understands that CO2, even with positive feedbacks added, can’t trap any heat in the atmosphere directly, as witnessed by it cooling down by 10-20 degrees (or more in certain areas) easily every night. The only significant place energy could be trapped is the ocean, hence why Argo ‘is it’ for longer term temperature trends, and why El Nino/La Nina influence things so much. I assume when people have blamed a recent hot (or cold) spell on Global Warming they have measured the sea surface temperature nearby to explain why…

I’m from the UK where the sea is obviously a very important factor in our weather, I do always wonder what explanation people come up with to relate say, hot (or cold) temperatures in Alice Springs to CO2 as I can’t see how it could influence anything without warming the entire ocean by a lot all around Australia.

Even more obvious is that the IR adsorption spectrum of CO2 is almost entirely shadowed by water vapor, of which there is vastly more. Yet the thugs in the control business don't want to regulate water vapor emissions at all. Why?

Fuel cells make water vapor, and the owners of the oil and gas business are heavily invested in minerals necessary to make catalysts.
