I don't think that I've made a statement one way or the other about the buildup of CO2 or its relationship to AGW. I totally believe that the lion's share of the increase in global CO2 is due to humanity. I totally believe that some portion of the late warming trend is due to the increase in global CO2.

And of all the published materials on it that I've reviewed, there hasn't been enough of the kind of analysis that I like to see. One cannot quantify the BS content of some of the arguments without getting into real science about the emissivities, absorptions and spectral analyses of the incoming and outgoing radiation streams. If they're not going to do that, then there's no real point in wasting the time considering them.

And, in light of how much energy has just re-radiated out to space, been converted to "work done" or some entropic process, I'm sorta' beyond worrying about it. The specter of this far greater and more immediate danger now has my attention.
