Hasbeen, if there really was evidence that CO2 was displacing water vapour in the air, the climate deniers would be shouting it from the rooftops! Instead the only person who mentions it is yourself. Such observations would seemingly contradict the laws of physics, so as extraordinary claims they require extraordinary proof.

Your previous failure to cite the evidence when challenged makes me suspect that what really happened is you misunderstood the research showing a greater CO2 concentration reduces the amount of water vapour entering the atmosphere by transpiration.

The main factor in how much water vapour the atmosphere holds is temperature, as at low temperatures it condenses out. Therefore the warming caused by CO2, though much less than that caused by water vapour, increases the amount of water vapour the atmosphere holds, further increasing the temperature.

So, I am assuming that because we currently have a large amount of water in the atmosphere and creating record floods that we currently have a decrease in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere- hense a global cooling not caused by man. Or is that also caused by humans?

Dear Hasbeen,

If your recall faculties were up to scratch you will remember numerous conversations we have had over the years including the fact that I sat through 22 hours of lectures from a Climate Professor at MIT over a decade ago.

For a layman I consider I have had a good grounding of the basic science behind Global Warming and find it extraordinary the every time you refuse to acknowledge CO2 as a significant greenhouse gas.

You have instead gotten yourself fixated on some fringe paper.

Time to stop getting yourself so stirred up old boy.

It wasn't so long ago that denialists were insisting the planet wasn't heating up but actually cooling but most have abandoned that strategy.

Their next battle will be about the relative efficacy of proposed solutions, like the never-ending Ivermectin argument for COVID despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Stating the obvious, what credibility does Jo Nova have and why would anyone follow her 'analysis' which is only accepted by Koch Network think tanks (sovereignty anyone?), NewsCorp etc. & much of the broader LNP coalition and alt fringes (but not all MPs nor farmers especially)?

Following is a link featured by OLO:

Nova also promoted 'Freedom Protests' against sensible Covid restraints using the infamous German based website, here at OLO......

The 1-10% of middle class 'elites' in Australia would dare not follow this advice but consult with 'experts' and like Murdoch & Fox/NewsCorp personnel, get vaccinated (as mandated by co. policy).

However, for political agitprop the same then becomes contorted in media and public narratives into e.g. identifying nurses, teachers etc. pejoratively as 'elites' and denigrating 'experts', especially related to Brexit and climate (thanks Kochs, more sovereignty for the UK, right?).

Says more about how in the pretentious 'Anglosphere' ageing monocultural radical right have joined the circle with the lunatic left to ensure sub-optimal democracy, media oligopoly, socialism for industry favourites, climate science denial (blame the old eugenics trope of 'population growth'), immigration restrictions, taking rights from citizens and dumbing down society.

Well done Australia, how smart are you?
