Eclectic - absolutly correct.

Apart from that, Earth's atmosphere can not even be compared to a "greenhouse" - it is not a closed off container and the heat is not trapped - as mentioned water vapour manages to absorb some of the heat (infra red) and hold it in suspension for a while - the rest radiates into space - all dependend on solar insolation. If insolation increases, temperature rises and more CO2 and other gases such as methane is gased out of the oceans as a delayed result, more giga tonnes CO2 that could be produced by man in a decade. The concentration of CO2 is so minute in the atmosphere and it only proved heating properties in a closed container at a 100% concentration. A higher CO2 is better for plants and trees as photo- synthesis can not occur without.
SO the human induced CC by CO2 emmision is a hoax to impose taxes.

Other gasses induced by humans, such as certain Krypton isotopes which have rising levels, do not change the climate but are far more lethal to life on earth. SO2 is also a problem (acid rain). We do need to become cleaner in this regard for sure - we as pilots do see much of the plastic being dumped in the 3rd world and oceans being plastic polluted - this is a real visible problem - that is were the industry should start, but not blame everything on an invisible gas. Come On... it's BS.
