..."In talks I give now, I always make sure people know that no extra CO2 was used to come up with my ideas.
It’s done to get a laugh, the point being the forecast does not take CO2 into account.
I also stated I hoped that, if my ideas had merit, it would wake people up to the folly of the statements being made when the earth was still in a warming phase.
I introduced publicly on the O'Reilly Factor the Triple Crown of Cooling, which is now The Grand Slam of Climate.
It was also opined that, in the past, when these cyclical shifts occurred, there were local pickups of what is now being called extreme weather.
But it is nothing out of the ordinary in the big picture, no sign of an appending atmospheric apocalypse, warm or cold. It’s nothing that is not well within the realm of what nature does.
...So here we are, being told CO2 is responsible for global warming — climate change, the term they are now using,is a natural event which only people that claim humans are driving them deny – and events perfectly natural and to a large degree fairly predictable simply by understanding what went on before.
What we have to ask these people in the face of the actual geological record that shows CO2 and temperatures is: Why is it CO2 now, but not before?Anyone see any linkage between CO2 and temperatures?
Why would the increase of one molecule of CO2 out of every 10,000 molecules of air over a 100-year period suddenly pick now, at 400 ppm, to overcome the sun, oceans, stochastic events and the design of the system, including the physical properties of CO2 in relation to the other greenhouse gases, of which it’s only 1%?
The answer below I think makes as much sense as the explanations I am seeing out there:
Could it be there is a CO2 fairy waving its magic wand?

While CO2 has little to do with actual weather and climate, as shown by past events, both recent and in the geological time scale, apparently it can affect people who believe it does.
