I know how infra red solar radiation heats the planet using the greenhouse effect. I get the impression that you just got on an Alarmist site and copied down whatever they were lecturing you with, and you think that makes you sound authoritative?
For many years I sat on the fence in regards to HIGW. I read Professor Plimers book (which was very hard going) and then decided that I would spend a lot of time watching both Alarmist and Denier sites on YouTube to see if I could figure out which side was right
I don't know how many hours I spent watching both sides of the HIGW debate but I would estimate about 50. As I wrote before, my objective opinion was that the Denier sites were a lot more credible. To begin with, they pointed out the very obvious flaws in the Alarmist side, like the Robert Manne's infamous "Hockey Stick Curve" and how Al Gore had pulled the wool over the eyes of a whole class full of university students with his own graph, which appeared to indicate that sea temperature and CO2 was linked, with CO2 leading sea temperature. The Deniers explained how it had to be the other way around. What they pointed out about the graph was logical. It made sense. Either Gore knew the graph was wrong and he was a crook. Or he did not know it was wrong and he was an idiot. An idiot who got the Nobel Prize for completely misrepresenting the truth.
I began to subjectively lean the Denier way. And what also impressed me about the denier point of view was how their facts cross connected with other facts. That is what I call "the ring of truth."
Unless you are prepared to understand both sides of the argument and convince yourself which side is right, you will always be a young man who simply FEELS that the Alarmists are right because of peer pressure. And all you will ever be able to do is parrot off already easily refuted arguments of the Alarmists
