The usual for bad Internet debating and communications: Attack the person and not the arguments. If you have some credible evidence, trot it out.
It is my writing here that is rational and the responses to it that are irrational -- my post was down voted and "flagged" out of view with no meaningful responses.
Again, the alarmist predictions of disaster were made and found wildly wrong; I referenced the data.
Bluntly no one knows how to take data on CO2 from human activities and accurately predict CO2 concentration and temperature or in any meaningful sense the effect of the CO2 on temperature. Nearly all the attempts to do this were wildly wrong.
The global warming alarmists are as irrational as using leach bleeding to forestall another eruption of Yellowstone, of old religions making "sacrifices" to ensure good climate. The Mayans killed people to pour their blood on a rock to keep the sun moving across the sky -- the global warming alarmists are following the same irrationality.
Since my post was "flagged" out of view, I will repeat the post here now:
There is a lot of hand wringing, worrying,
blaming about evil, short sighted,
negligent, irresponsible humans doing
serious damage to the environment and the
planet and causing disastrous, dangerous,
destructive world wide climate change,
global warming, rising sea levels, etc.
There is no end of what we can worry
about, e.g., Yellowstone erupting, another
Krakatoa, having the atmosphere of the
earth blown off by the blast from a
supernova, etc.
But just now the claim that human sources
of CO2 are having significant effects on
the climate, temperature, sea level, etc.
are the source of a lot of angst and
anxiety.
So, we need to filter, separate possible
disasters for which we have good evidence
and can do something about from the
endless number of disasters for which we
have no credible evidence.
For human sources of CO2: So far there is
no, none, nichts, nada, nil, zip, zilch,
zero credible evidence that human sources
of CO2 have had, are having, or will have
a significant effect on the climate,
temperature, sea level, etc. No evidence
that is credible.
All the credibility was lost, blown,
thrown away, destroyed by the many
predictions of significant temperature
increases that didn't happen, as in the
well known

As a result, the alarm, angst, anxiety,
hand wringing about human sources of CO2
is irrational, foolish, irresponsible, and
supporting an industry of hysteria that is
just a flim-flam, fraud, scam on the backs
and in the pockets of billions of people
and making a few people rich.
While we know very well how to measure
temperature and how to average it, we
don't even have meaningful measures of
climate.
For the science that might be relevant,
essentially all of it fails to be science
because it has long shown to have no
predictive value.
In response, until there is credible
evidence that human activities can do good
things for the climate, we should just
junk the alarmists and forget about human
sources of CO2.
