The above page has good references. *For an example:

Figure 4.2 and its discussion above is a good reference on the
acceleration in the temperature rise.


There is no such entity as a Greenhouse gas it is a construct
to explain how CO2 warms the Earth.
Warming of the Earth will cause CO2 to increase because the
Oceans will lose CO2 as they warm.


An interesting prediction, to which you
should add some numbers. Currently the
oceans are gaining CO2.


There is no logical physical reason why CO2 causes warming.
Arrhenius was wrong.


My my! Aren't we full of ourself?

Please explain how, lack of water vapour causes the poles to
to warm more quickly (Arrhenius) and increasing water vapour
*causes runaway GW (IPCC)
Logically you cannot have it both ways.


One case in CO2 by itself, the other is an
interaction between CO2 and H20. For a
detailed explanation, see a good textbook.
