Citing a single clearly biased scientist does not cut it I am afraid.

You use phrases like:



These do not give an impression that you are "open minded" in this respect.
By 'open minded' I meant that I don't accept everything at face value. And what I said was that there is not a proven link between carbon emissions and warming because the atmosphere absorbs so little carbon.

Incidentally, the reason scientists are not trying to have an open debate about this is because they are shouted down and threatened.

Anyway, it is clear you are just sucking it all in so you won't want to consider anything which is contrary to the establishment view, so 'nuff said.

  • If no, why is the level of atmospheric CO2 rising?

Due to the scientific method, you cannot say to 100% certainty that there is a specific cause to a certain effect. However, you can start to put percentage likelihoods that something will happen. Climate science is continuously trying to firm up those percentages but, as I said before, trying to model an entire planet is hard!
But the question you have omitted relates to the amount of carbon emissions the atmosphere absorbs.

I am more concerned with the impact of that on our oceans, which is where most of it goes.
