The first damaging fact to the theory: CO2 is actually a heavy gas. It is not ‘well mixed’ in the air as per the glib claim. Just check out the NASA image (above) showing widely varying carbon dioxide concentrations. Indeed, schoolchildren are shown just how heavy CO2 is by way of a simple school lab experiment. This heavy gas thus struggles to rise and soon falls back to earth due to its Specific Gravity (SG). Real scientists rely on the SG measure which gives standard air a value of 1.0 where the measured SG of CO2 is 1.5 (considerably heavier). Thus, in the real world the warming theory barely gets off the ground.
As shown in Carbon Dioxide Not a Well Mixed Gas and Can’t Cause Global Warming the same principle applies to heat transfer: the Specific Heat (SH) of air is 1.0 and the SH of CO2 is 0.8 (thus CO2 heats and cools faster). Combining these properties allows for thermal mixing. Heavy CO2 warms faster and rises, as in a hot air balloon. It then rapidly cools and falls. Once it falls it loses any claimed climate impact.
Thus, in the real world the warming theory barely gets off the ground.

I can believe that the earth is changing, I can also believe that we may have an impact on it's climate. But I don't know if we have as much impact as what we are being led to believe.

A simple look at the planet Venus debunks your entire thread, sorry.

I can agree with what you say. I tend to think that when one side tried to prove something with "science" they often overlook or intentionally leave out aspects that need further explaining.
To me it's like the old saying, " if everyone jumps of the bridge, would you". I just think that there is more to the story here and politics seems to be playing a crucial role in telling us what they want us to believe.

What that Venus is the second planet in the solar system and is approximately 41.6 million miles closer to the sun than earth? Mercury, VENUS, Earth.

No, the fact that it is a hot rocky planet due to runaway global warming fueled by excessive amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere.
In other words, Venus is hot because of CO2.

How do scientists know that Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect? Are they able to see its history somehow?
Why isn't Venus just hot and full of CO2 BECAUSE it's so close to the Sun?

Mercury has no greenhouse effect and it's closer to the sun than Venus and it's hottest temps are below Venus average temps.
Gases in an atmosphere are warm.. when you walk into a warm room it's the air you feel that is holding the heat.. It's the shirt you put on that traps air close to your body that warms it up..
I don't agree with the "science" the way they are using it politically and so many nuances about how much effect exactly? Their models are wrong so scientifically they need to be reworked.. but that's not to say that co2 doesn't make the earth warmer. It does.
If bigger government through forced reductions in creating co2 was not in the cards I'd be all in.. I grew up hippy and hate pollution.. I walk everywhere, and don't even heat my house..
I hate hearing "the science is settled." No true scientist speaks in absolutes like this. The evidence leads you to surmise your hypothesis is correct, but you don't get to tell everyone else to shut up.. It reaks of misdirection even if none is there.. its a gross misuse of the fallacy argument of appeal to power..
Instead let's just use less FIRE while we figure it out lol.
It's a dumb argument.. if anyone really cared they would cancel all flights stop all cars and all power plants... we would let people freeze in the winter and be stuck without medivac. Pick your poison... haha
