Of course feedbacks can have offsetting effects — but if
you accept the radiative physics of AGW, then you believe that adding CO2 to the atmosphere causes global warming.
Listen, Joshua, to the ones who
accept radiative physics, but doubt the catastrophic water vapor feedback.

This would get beyond the settled science part of
radiative heat transfer
physics that most of us (including Judy)
accepts and puts more emphasis into the context of «to what extent» will it influence our climate over what period of time.
Radiative physics says doubling CO2 adds a lot more forcing to polar latitudes than the Milankovitch effect, but you demur on
accepting that it is also important for the sea - ice and glacier balance and possibly that higher CO2 levels near 500 ppm could prevent the next Ice Age.
