For the record, I still hold some skepticism on global warming. Based on my state of knowledge, if I were to say it were definitely happening, or definitely not happening, I would be FOS.

So lets walk through the physical chemistry for all on board. I shan't shrink from a technical discussion.
What part of global warming are you uncomfortable with. Is it that that you don't think the measured temperatures increases are real?
Is it you don't think there is a correlation between COtwo or other carbon/ water content and heat retention?
Is it you don't think the contribution is from human activity?
Is it you think that the 1.5 degree change is so small as to really have any effect?
I'm asking because if someone with some sophitication in understanding is waffling than I can't expect anyone else to take the concern as real.
