So let's simplify this for the global warming alarmists out there and Archie and Fish.
1. Is there evidence of global warming? According to this paper, yes. About .1 degree Centigrade over the past 100 years
2. Has atmospheric CO2 increased over the past 40 years or so? Again, yes, by about 30 PPM
3. Has low level cloud cover and humidity decreased over the time period 85-2005? Yes.
4 Could man made CO2 emissions contribute to the elevation in global temperature, yes, BUT, decreases in low level cloud cover and humidity (can you say weather changes) when factored into global warming graphs, minimize the effect of CO2 emissions.
5. Should we strive to limit man made CO2 emissions? In my opinion, why not? It would seem to be a worthy goal post industrial revolution. However, deforestation practices, especially in the tropics, contribute substantially to elevations in CO2 in our atmosphere. Moreso than the burning of fossil fuels or cow physiologic emission. These forests also produce an abundance of oxygen. So to me, that is where our focus should lie. Limit CO2 production and consistently refresh oxygen in our atmosphere by addressing the deforestation issue.
