Do you? Why do you quote whatever you can to attempt to tell us that it has not warmed since 1998, that the evidence backs this and thus there is no need to examine a cause?

That's why you get called, quite correctly, an idiot.

It seems you have considerable difficulty, psychological not intellectual, in accepting that Lawrie has made a valid point, if a little mischievous.. He must have accepted, to have made the posting, that GW is related to CO2 levels, anthropgenic or not. This does not suit your vision of him so you have ignored the post itself and chosen to answer another question. Then you slag him off for no reason whatever but for you that's simply a conditioned reflex. You have deliberately ignored the nature of the post in order to have a go at Lawrie.

That's why you get called, quite correctly, a ****.
