The conspiracy is not that ther is no global warming. There is. There are measurements and evidences and we know how thermometers works. So global warming is real. We measure the temperatures and we know they increase, we measure the amount of ice in the ice caps and we know they decrease.

What the conspiracy is about is whether it is man made or a natural process that we cant do anything about.

Does this makes sense? Because if we keep denying the temperatures are rising we get to be disproven quite fast. But as we discuss what's causing it, it is kind of difficult to prove/disprove.

My claim is not that there are no temerature fluctuations in earths climate. I agree that the earth is warming very slowly, and has been since just before the ice started to receed from our ice age maximum, where it reached all the way down to where it created the great lakes.

But the global warming is specifically the claim that there is a huge increase of warming caused by co2, and that it will cause devestating and even human ending changes to climate. The term global warming was created to name those specific lies.

It is not my claim that the earth had no warming.

They are not lies. You’re just really, really stupid.

It is 100% verifiably human-caused. Or do you think it’s just a coincidence that it only started happening after the Industrial Revolution?

CO2 is a known greenhouse gas. 200+ years of atmospheric CO2 measurements have shown that the relative concentration of C13 and C14 (biogenic and radioactive isotopes, respectively) are on a steady decline, with C14 being impossible to measure since the 50s due to the increase of atmospheric radiation following Cold War-era nuclear bomb tests.

The only possible reason for C12 to be the increasingly most dominant isotope in the atmosphere is from carbon that has not A) been expelled by photosynthesis, or B) exposed to cosmic rays, for millions upon millions of years.

And where would that over abundance of essentially sterile carbon be coming from? That’s right, us.

To your point it seems to be. All the data points us in this direction. OP was denying the measurements of thempratures and wanted to help him understand where the conspiracy is and that it is not in whether it is real or not.
