> I know I sound like an anti-climate change-ist but I'm really an anti-sheep-people-ist, skeptical of things that have signs of religious faith such as appeal to consensus, being certain of their claims, predicting doom on disbelievers, and insulting and silencing people for heretical speech or doubt, and proselytizing.
Bingo! There is so much about the current situation that sounds not at all like science but rather so much like doomsday cultism that it's hard to take a lot of what's being said seriously. Bouts of this warped type of thinking aren't at all new, either, but rather date back throughout much of human history, and they have often been associated with religious dogma.
As to your experiments, I gather what was actually being demonstrated here was just the actual greenhouse effect rather than any greenhouse _gas_ effect, much less one associated with CO2. I mean, unless maybe you actually played around with the CO2 levels during those experiments. Which, given the minuscule CO2 levels that we're talking about - around 410 ppm (0.041%) even today - would have required rather extreme care and precision.
