    Point taken.

    If we had more insulation (CO2/vapour etc) and the same amount of heat entering the planet, all else being equal, we should have warming.

    But, we don't, certainly not to modeled degree.

    How about that there is much less heat entering in the first place?

    Enter, global dimming. Maybe we should find out a lot more before we start kneejerking - just in case CO2 and vapor etc. are saving us from heading back to a manmade ice age - which we would have a hell of a lot more trouble surviving than a bit more warming.

    What we need is first up, research and mechanisms to survive change -- either way. Secondly, we need research, but not agendum based research - general and wide ranging research.

    What we are doing at present is things like building massive wind farms at enormous cost both economically and in energy and resources without actually knowing much at all about what we are doing.

    The cost in energy to build one turbine is massive let alone forests of them - and, we have little idea of the known consequences and zero idea of the unintended consequences.

    It is madness - but, very profitable madness for some.
