clouds aren't a greenhouse gas and aren't increasing, even though we've had the wettest 12 months in my memory. Cloud cover acts as a blanket. it requires a lot of cloud to achieve a local effect. Clouds also reflect a lot of light/heat back into space.

The global warming attributed to water vapour is different to clouds.

@Furpo2 you really should do some reading of the scientific literature before hitting the keyboard mate.... such posts don't add to your credibility.

Meanwhile CO2 content of atmospheric gases has increased more than 25% since the 1940s. This is why CO2 is identified as the main driver of global warming.

It is always interesting to drop in here and watch the debate on this.

Yes, CO2 emissions have grown over the past 70 years or so, and it is common to equate CO2 and temperature.

However, the world population has grown at a greater rate in a similar timeline.

In 1950, the world population was around 2.5 billion and it is currently about 7.8 billion, or a 200% increase, + or -. (Source :https://countrymeters.info/en/World#historical_population)

So why are we so sure that the temperature is wholly dependent on CO2 emissions from fossil fuels??

Surely there are other elements to consider??

Cheers, AL
