"If reducing CO2 emissions will have no effect on global warming, then you must have some deeper wisdom about the causes of it. There's a lot of hard analytical science that implies emissions from human activity, (including methane from our cattle industry BTW)are a major contributing factor."


Slight flaw in your logic:

"If reducing CO2 emissions will have no effect on global warming, then you must have some deeper wisdom about the causes of it."

I never have stated NO effect, just that GW will occur whether we reduce CO2 emissions or not.



"There's a lot of hard analytical science that implies emissions from human activity, (including methane from our cattle industry BTW)are a major contributing factor."

True, although there is a difference between " a major factor" and "The major factor". I note you had to include methane, which is greater than CO2 in effect- YET there is no call to ban cows...

IF we eliminate cattle and stop all CO2 emissions, we still cannot change the amount of radiation the sun produces ( well, subject to debate, but I would not want us to try). By pinning ALL the blame upon CO2, the very real effects of GW will be ignored, GW will still occur, and far more people will die.
