Nobody can dispute that there has been some global cooling in this last decade. Even though the land temperature charts aren't reliable, because the number of weather stations keeps changing and the stations are all at major airports or in parking lots. If the IPCC had their way I'm sure they would measure the entire earth's temperature from one weather station at LAX, just like they measure the entire planet's CO2 level from one station on top of a volcano in Hawaii.
Even with all the incoming data being skewed to show warming, it still shows some cooling over the last decade while CO2 is increasing.
If you get away from the heat island effect of the major cities and like this weather station in Walker Minnesota, you see a cooling trend even during the summer months.
Everyone also knows that water vapor is the major greenhouse gas and CO2 is a lesser greenhouse gas. And other greenhouse gases like methane are much more effective as a greenhouse gas than CO2. Mars' atmosphere is 95% CO2 and its average temperature is -67ºF.
Here is my question
If CO2 is increasing in our atmosphere isn't it replacing other more effective greenhouse gases and wouldn't this cause global cooling?
CO2 is measured in parts per million or ppm, it has gone from 320 ppm in 1960 to 390 ppm in 2010. So that means that something else in the atmosphere had to had to have go down by 70 ppm in the last 50 years, because there are only 1,000,000 ppm. If CO2 is replacing water vapor in our atmosphere wouldn't that have a cooling effect?
