FB CO2 effects on temperature are logarithmic not linear.
300-600ppm = +1.1C (examples only)
600-1200ppm = +.8C
1200-2400ppm = +.4C
Like that.
That combined with the undisputed fact that temperature variation precedes CO2 variation by 800 odd years (anyone who believes Schmidt's assertion that this was only true BEFORE 1800 and not since is a fool) proves that we have nothing to fear from a little warming and a little more CO2 - quite the opposite.
As for Rutan's video - how about you alarmists prove the DATA he presented is flawed rather than attack the individual presenting it. The data he presented is well accepted and anyone with a brain can understand/present graphs of data without needing a PHD in 'climate science'.
I challenge the alarmists here to watch all 4 parts of this video presentation by Bob Carter (a REAL climate scientist) and then come back and tell us we have a real problem that requires urgent action as opposed to a non problem that western pollies/'environmental' groups have grabbed hold of as a way of furthering socialist wealth redistribution.
Then watch this video presentation and ask yourself "If I was going to bet my house would I bet against AGW/CO2 or natural variation"
