Is CO2 Forcing Plausible?

- - Ice cores
  - - The recent rate of temperature change is exceeded in the data
    - Past temperatures were warmer with far lower CO2 levels
    - Temperature changes are correlated to orbit and axis variability
    - There is no correlation of temperature to prior CO2 or CH4 levels
    - Biology offers a complete explanation for CO2 and CH4
  - Atmospheric absorption
  - - CO2 absorption is energy limited and not concentration limited
    - Water vapor is a far larger contributor
  - Mauna Loa
  - - Increasing temperature is associated with decreasing CO2
  - Satellite
  - - Ebb and flow of ice provides all necessary positive feedback
    - Hemispheric asymmetry amplifies seasonal differences

Notes:

There's not a single piece of evidence in the data record which supports the AGW hypothesis. The data actually eliminates this as a possibility. All of the claims that the data supports man made warming are based on inaccurate, incomplete and misleading analysis.

The well understood physics of atmospheric absorption and conservation of energy are in direct conflict with AGW. Physical models show how clouds are more important than greenhouse gases for keeping the surface warm.

The well known scientific disciplines of thermodynamics, orbital mechanics, and biology completely explain the temperature record and it's relationship to the CO2 and CH4 record. All of the explanations are qualifiedly complete and quantifiable. There's absolutely no wiggle room to accommodate the AGW hypothesis.
