Science is not done by consensus it is done by experiments. Einstein's theories were rejected for many years, until they were proved by experiments.

7 Steps of the Scientific Method

Step 1-Question.

Step 2-Research.

Step 3-Hypothesis.

Step 4-Experiment.

Step 5-Observations.

Step 6-Results/Conclusion.

Step 7-Communicate. Present/share your data and results. Replicate.

Some corrupt IPCC scientists still refuse to share their data.

Anyone who lives in a desert can verify the following.

Climate change, C02 and the desert

Water vapor, CO2 and other gases produce a greenhouse effect.

However, air is a mixture of about 78% of nitrogen, 21% of oxygen, 0.9% of argon, 0.04% of carbon dioxide, and very small amounts of other gases. There is a global average of about 1% water vapor.

Also, the greenhouse effect of CO2 is logarithmic, not proportional. This is analogous to painting a barn red. One coat of paint may not make the barn red enough, two or three coats will do a good job. Additional coats of red paint will have a negligible effect. The red color of the barn is saturated.

Carbon dioxide absorbs and re-emits all radiation available to it in traveling 10 meters in the near surface atmosphere, which is called saturation. Doubling the amount of CO2 shortens the distance to 5 meters. Shortening the distance is not increasing the heat.

CO2 at current levels is already nearly saturated, adding more will have a negligible effect on the greenhouse heating. Furthermore, water vapor which is anywhere from 50 to 75 times on average more abundant than CO2 in the atmosphere outweighs all greenhouse gases combined by a factor of at least 4 to 1 when you take into account the radiative spectroscopy of photons in gases.

All temperature is a local phenomenon on earth.

You get hot temperatures in a desert because there is no water to evaporate. However at nighttime in the desert without clouds it is actually cool but with clouds it is warm. It is the water vapor in the clouds that is absorbing the IR and reradiating it back to the surface. CO2 is a minor player or else it would be warm at night in a desert without clouds.

Deserts can sometimes go near freezing temperatures at nighttime without clouds. In fact certain sections of the Sahara desert, the largest in the world and located not too far from the equator in its southern portion ; has even gone as low as 5F or -15C. Nothing to do with CO2. Deserts have also recorded the highest temperatures again nothing to do with CO2.

In recorded history temperature comes first and CO2 follows. Not the other way around.

There is no basis for establishing a temperature from CO2 levels if the CO2 is saturated.

In conclusion, the earth may be on a long term warming trend as we recover from the last ice age, or we may be at the beginning of a long term cooling trend towards the next ice age. Cold is far more dangerous than heat.

CO2 has nothing to do with any of this.
