CO2 absorbs, uncertainties in modelling climate change will be reduced and more accurate
predictions can be made about how much Earth is likely to
warm over the next few decades.
Remember that direct greenhouse effect from
CO2 is quite small; the
predictions rely on positive feedback from other effects (particularly water vapour feedbacks, a far more significant greenhouse gas) to cause substantial
warming.
If, for example, Big
CO2 Inc. wanted to put a billion dollars down on global cooling, 2 things would happen — the web would be full of «sign up and take some money from Big

warming might temper their
predictions just a bit because some clown put so much money down on the opposite outcome.

A corollary of the
prediction that
Co2 would take up to 20 years to rise above the noise of natural variation is that natural variation could conceivable cause a «pause» of up to 20 years, and so the recent short period with a lack of

predictions.

CO2 probably loses AGW monopoly via «polluted cloud heating».
It's also good to keep in mind that
CO2 is beneficial; more
CO2 is better; any small

predictions have all turned out to be wrong in their
predictions.

warming — automobiles are insignificant in overall picture — China is the major
CO2 producer, considerably more than USA today — # 1 priority for China is growth of economy — global
warming is not considered important — China
CO2 efficiency (GDP per ton
CO2) is around one - fourth of USA today, has much room for improvement — China growth will make per capita
CO2 emissions at same level as USA today by year 2040 — if it is «not profitable» it is «not sustainable» — US energy future depends on shale gas for automobiles; hydrogen will not be a factor — nor will electric cars, due to high cost — Muller is upbeat on nuclear (this was recorded pre-Fukushima)-- there has been no
warming in the USA — Muller was not convinced of Hansen's GISS temperature record; hopes BEST will provide a better record.
