As it stands there's no empirical evidence of any sort that CO2 causes climate warming, and indeed now the ipcc is maintaining that CO2 is both a cause and an effect of temperature change, which, unless CO2 was only an insignificant contributor to warming, would without a doubt lead to a runaway greenhouse with boiling oceans.

The core premise of their belief system was that increasing amounts of CO2 was causing runaway atmospheric warming.

What they are practicing is not science, it is propaganda based on an unsupportable catastrophic AGW agenda designed to convince the public that a rise in a tiny trace gas comprising only 0.00038 of the atmosphere will cause runaway global warming and climate catastrophe.

These satellite measurements of atmosphere temperatures not only confirm that «runaway» and / or «tipping point» global warming is not happening, they also confirm that the NASA «expert» predictions of Venus - like warming that causes «boiling» oceans was, at best, a wild, lunatic, fringe prediction.

The cumulative CO2 growth causes global warming that accelerates (they hypothesize) to a condition of «runaway» temperature increases via positive feedbacks, leading to catastrophic «tipping point» climate change.

And then, ignoring that the heat we feel from the Sun is thermal infrared so does reach us, say that carbon dioxide a trace gas, and already fully part and parcel of the cooling cycling of the Earth in the Water Cycle, is responsible for raising the temperature of the Earth from -18 °C to 15 °C, without ever giving any rational explanation as to how it actually does this, and, that doubling it will cause catastrophic runaway global warming, doubling a trace gas it still remains a trace gas.

«We have seen a remarkably similar response from the scientific establishment to anyone dissenting from that other dominating theory of our time, that rising CO2 levels caused by human activity are leading to runaway global warming.»

What they are skeptical of is the prediction that not only is this current situation mostly man made unlike every other warm up in history, but that we will have a runaway warming devastating our ecosystem planet wide and causing unimaginable human suffering.

No, CO2 will not cause runaway global warming — which is the specific scare tactic that has brought us to this point.

Anthropogenic Global Warming, however, is the theory that CO2 produced by humans by industrial processes, but mainly fossil fuel combustion, will cause the Earth to warm unnaturally and produce a runaway greenhouse effect.

Actually I think the claim is that CO2 warming (but mysteriously not «natural» warming) triggers other positive feedbacks causing a runaway effect (I won't call it «greenhouse» because that's a misnomer).

Positive feedback means runaway warming «One of the oft - cited predictions of potential warming is that a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels from pre-industrial levels — from 280 to 560 parts per million — would alone cause average global temperature to increase by about 1.2 °C.

As we reported here in August of last year («Desperate Dash of Global Warming»), the upcoming conference in Paris is the culmination of more than two decades of very intensive (and very expensive) propagandizing and fear mongering aimed at convincing the people of the world (but especially Americans) that we must all submit to drastic global controls, or face catastrophic consequences from runaway anthropogenic (human - caused) global warming, Warming»), the upcoming conference in Paris is the culmination of more than two decades of very intensive (and very expensive) propagandizing and fear mongering aimed at convincing the people of the world (but especially Americans) that we must all submit to drastic global controls, or face catastrophic consequences from runaway anthropogenic (human - caused) global warming, warming, or AGW.

Regarding that last point, consensus climate science has proposed a hypothesis on the claim that climate physics dictates that rising atmospheric CO2 levels will warm the atmosphere substantially, thus causing a positive feedback loop, which will then continuously accelerate warming until a tipping point of runaway temperatures take place, turning Earth into the next Venus.

On the right, runaway climate change causes warming of more than 10 °C in some regions, extreme rainfall and droughts become the norm, the Arctic becomes ice - free in the summer, and the ocean becomes much more acidic:
