Jezter -
Get off your holier-than-thou horse. You speak of a, “... gas guzzling life style...” as if this is something alien to you personally. Do you drive a car? Do you shop at a supermarket or even a local shop? The goods that you buy are not delivered by horse and cart.
“... CO2 used to follow temp change. Now it leads it. This is unprecedented...” - It is also an unproven hypothesis. CO2 has never 'driven' temperature in the past, as you have acknowledged. What makes you think it is doing so today?
“[man-made global warming is] endorsed by the IPCC...”
The IPCC is a political body, not a scientific one. From the IPCC's own 'statement of purpose' - “The role of the IPCC is to assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation.”. From their own statement or purpose, they have already decided that mankind is the cause of global warming. No credible scientific body would make such an absolute statement.
“... But if it’s right [man-made global warming] then you are dead, your kids are dead, everyone is dead...”
No scaremongering here then!. Nothing to see here. Move along.
