SO FAR, the only variable found that can explain the current rise is CO2. There might be something we don't know about, such as some strange loss of expected cloud cover, but, the best and brightest have not found it.
After monckton destroyed lambert in the debate , they did both in the end agree the whole theory rests on the 'co2 scalars' ( or called something similar ) ie . the basis of the science , the
weight of this co2 variable has not been established .
