1. Carbon Dioxide stores lots of energy

2. The sun provides lots of energy

3. Therefore, carbon dioxide is able to store lots of solar energy

4. We are releasing lots of Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere

5. Therefore, the atmosphere's ability to store solar energy is increasing

What part of this logic don't you understand or disagree with?

You seem to have this all figured out then, so let me ask, approximately what point beyond your retirement will all of this happen? And I say "beyond your retirement" because that is the time you will probably give me, a time you won't have to worry about anyone taking you to task on your faulty science.

We have reason to believe it's happening now! Besides the AGW signal in the temperature spread, there's now a AGW signal in hurricane behavior and precipitation patterns. It's happening now!

That's the point of the article! Did you even read it?

What's faulty about his science?

There is no proof humans are causing doomsday levels of climate change through CO2 emissions (literal plant fertilizer, the shit I brew and inject into my fish tank to grow plants). What is demonstrable in a lab is going to be much harder to prove for a whole planet. People should not just accept what these people say as gospel, we have had 30-40 years of doomsday warnings from these people and nothing, absolutely nothing has happened. In addition, we as humans will not be stuck burning CO2 forever, eventually Nuclear and/or Fusion will be perfected to a point that there will be no going back to burning dinosaur oil for fuel.
