Self-Serving Bias. Attributing your successes to your skill and your screw ups to bad luck. In-Group Favoritism. Tendency to favor those in our group over those who are

How much does CO2 warm the Earth?

We have two excellent professional papers on climate change to review and compare. The first is by William A. van Wijngaarden and Will Happer. They calculate the CO2 climate sensitivity – the increase in temperature when CO2 doubles – is 2.2 K for a fixed relative humidity. The second is by David Coe, Walter Fabinski,

A Climate Resolution for your group

Slight warming from more carbon dioxide!

Note: The described excellent calculations by Happer and Wijngaarden are independent from the question of how much nature or humans caused the increase in carbon dioxide. – Ed by David Wojick, Ph.D. Precision research by physicists William Happer and Willem van Wijngaarden has determined that the current levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and water vapor
