Re: Co2 Acquittal

Turtle, I do agree with you that there are other contributing factors. I don't think anyone would say that there are no factors other than CO2.
I hold that since we can do something about the co2 more easily and more cheaply than we can prepare ourselves for the consequences, it would behoove us to do so (as Freeztar has also said).
As for the dust. Since the dust can cause heating or cooling based on size of the dust particles, do we know the distribution of dust particle sizes?
If our current estimation of the contribution that CO2 lends to GWing is so off, why is it the models based on what we currently know are relatively close to reality? Sure, we may be of by 10%, but if we are off by magnitudes, wouldn't the models be off by more?
