Mr. Pitt has left a new comment on the post "Are Climate-Change Deniers as bad as Creationists?...":

"...prints a statement of the fact of human-caused climate change..."

What statement of fact? This is not a fact. This is where your whole argument (and Krugman's as well) falls apart. There is absolutely NO evidence of human-caused climate change. Yes, CO2 does trap heat. That is indeed a fact. And the overwhelming majority of the heat trapped occurs at levels below 100 ppm. That is also a fact. The incremental amount of heat trapped at CO2 levels > 350 ppm is infinitesimally small. The models contain ASSUMPTIONS that water vapor will have a multiplying effect on temperature at CO2 levels beyond 350 ppm. But there is absolutely no evidence of such - in the laboratory or empirically. It's a belief. And that's all it is at this point. A belief. And a belief is A LOT different than a fact.
