The only relevant question regarding climate change is: are human-generated CO2 emissions driving climatic changes? This is purely a scientific question, and the entire global warming theory hinges on this one question.
We can either unquestioningly (as we are asked to) accept and believe the alleged consensus that answers this question resoundingly in the affirmative, or we examine the scientific arguments and understand the issue ourselves.
Having done that, my understanding is that CO2 has little or even no discernible influence on the Earth’s climate system as a whole, let alone the huge but still relatively small amount of human-made CO2 emissions.
And if that is the case, the entire global warming theory collapses in a heap – there is no need to worry about whether climate models are accurate (they’re not!), whether there is a consensus amongst 97% of scientists (there isn’t!), etc…
But I am not a scientist, and whilst I think I now understand CO2 much better, others can explain that much better. So below some useful video sources that helped me understand the science behind CO2 and that convinced me that CO2 cannot possibly be the climate control knob alarmists claim it to be.
