    Except I know mathematics and apparently you don't, based on your thinking your "argument" is as valid as mine.

    Well, I know what a logarithmic curve is. Which means I know they don't "flatline". They do have asymptotes, which can be parallel to either the X or Y axis, but don't have to be parallel to either major axis.

    They DO have a limit they approach and never reach.
    The diminishing returns become so minute that for all significant measurement, they ARE flatlined.

    So you understand, CO2 cannot, does not, cause runaway warming.
    It has a limit.
    And apparently we are very near that limit, from the warming "hiatus" of recent 20 years.

    AGW is as twisted as a hyperbolic paraboloid.

    The seas here are well lit today by the sun.

    If you weren't promoting dangerous doctrine, I'd write the AGW lot off as a bunch of "silly wabbits".

    But, apparently there are quite a few silly wabbits, and aware thinking folk need to prevent this foolishness!

    I thought you might have just copied a gif location, but was curious if adding/changing keyboard punctuation characters fixed the emoticon.

    Let's take a closer look.

    [​IMG]

    This past year was a strong EL Nina.
    A cyclic phenomenon.
    Which will pass.

    Recent 18 or so years seems pretty flat.
    Which a logarithmic function of warming to increased CO2 supports.

    Hi Sam
    From common sense the locals know AGW is a big problem with out been told as its common to see face mask to filter the air they breath also the Government campaign awareness of AGW on TV channels daily.
    20 years ago when I was in Chongqing the air pollution was that bad the traffic had poor vision and had to drive slow during the day also the polluted air created a oven affect.
    How ever since the Government have made environmental laws to slow down AGW Chongqing air pollution has immensely reduced.
