Hmmm, seems suspicious to me. You may not know it but all the current weather forecasting models for local weather now have an input for CO2 concentration. We’ve had particulate counts for some time and we now have CO2 counts. Warm humid air masses have little impact on local weather. ONLY the CO2 emmitted by the local power plant is important. Why just the other day I heard this weather forecast: “The CO2 concentration rose by a 1ppm last night in AZ due to all the coal being burned and massive heat waves are expected in the form of snow in Phoenix and record cold across the sunny southwest. CO2 concentrations across the Himalaya’s are up 2ppm, expect continued drought across Australia in the form of standing water. CO2 continues to cause little weather change across the Hawaiian Island chain as temperatures remain moderate.

But will the politicians, regulators and “climate scientists” actually listen and change their ways. They seem to be stuck on stupid regarding CO2
These are not the culprits. The ones who are really stuck on stupid are the Royal Society, The American Physical Society, The American Chemical Society, the National Academies of Sciences from the USA, France and The Netherlands. Here in Canada senior members of our National Reserach Council. And the list goes on and on.
It is particularly tough for politicians to go against the advice of all these august bodies. Until we get one of these organizations to break ranks, and look at the science, it will be tough for politicians to change. How we knock sense into an organization like the Royla Society, I have no idea. They have nailed their colors to the mast on CAGW. Sir Alan Runge tried, and failed miserably.
