But you sound so certain about it being settled science then surely the scientific method applies.
The temperature record has risen 0.6c in the last 100 years (IPCC). You call that great?
CO2 only accounts for about 4.2-8.4% of the greenhouse effect.
Methane has actually stopped increasing worldwide:
