The fact that the global average temperature anomaly is running about 1/3 of where climate models said it should be, is proof in itself that the anthrpogenic component of climate change is not remotely understood. It might be zero or net beneficial for all we currently know.
H2O is by far the most significant GHG; compared to it, CO2 is a rounding error.
- wrycoder 5y ago> (From the OP) ...in stark contrast to the fact that net zero CO2 emissions are required by around 2050 to meet a 50% chance of keeping the average surface temperature increase to below 1.5 °C These forecasts used to be 4.5C or more. Now the forecasts are 1.5C and yet the IPCC is still pushing hard. It happens that the average tropospheric temperature increase over the last 40 years of satellite measurements is 0.13C per decade, or 1.3C per century if that rate continues.[0] We have still not peaked during this interglacial epoch, but the tropospheric warming appears normal and less than the IPCC target.
