Since you're an analytical guy Brutha, surely you know that you cannot draw the conclusion that "Because the earth is warmer it must therefore be caused by CO2".
No, my conclusion is "Because the scientific community says that it's manmade it's manmade".
That's argument by authority.
I don't think that either you or me know enough about how the climate works to make such judgements on our own. For that reason we should trust the scientific etablishment.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
