@pschwede Thats why we dont rely on any one thing.. yea the basics all show us rather clearly that CO2 acts the way. we think. But your right by itself it isnt enough. thats why we. have thousands of different experiments all testing the same theory from a different angle, all confirming it.

Its a bit like the flat earther debate. There are simple experiments anyone can do "basic" list stick a rod int he ground measure some shadows and with some basic math conclude the earth is round. But then you get into weird edge cases with atmospheric refraction and everything else. Yea we **can** make the topic more complex, and we even do. When we do all the conclusions still add up though and we show the basic case is still valid. Even once we account for refraction and everything else, the earth is still round.

Same here. we have basic experiments that are very simple and very clearly show the truth of climate change. Sure we can and will make more complex experiments too, just to test all the weird edge cases on the off chance maybe there is more to it. But all those edge cases also proved the basic case true. So, naturally, we accept that.
