What would you say if you discovered CO2 is not a driver of climate change?

Latest research indicates that the real drivers of climate change is the suns output and the earth's magnetic field both of which are in constant flux. The sun's out put seems obvious but the earth's magnetosphere determines how much cosmic rays reach the lower atmosphere. The more cosmic rays in the atmosphere the more cloud cover. The more clowd cover the cooler the climate. CO2 has Zero impact on climate. Man generated CO2 has even less effect.

You really are a prize clown.. In fact what you say is absolutely correct.. as two single facts.
The problem is that we have just been through the end of a solar minimum. Which according to your rules means the earth should have been as cool as its doing to get, not warming as it is. While the magnetic field is an erratic variable at best. So, CO2 is a driver. and so are other gases like methane and so is the ice loss itself changing the reflective index of the planet and allowing it to soak in more heat.

@whowasthatmaskedman Except we haven't been through a solar minimum. We had a slight tapering off of solar out put and the temperature has decreased slightly. 1934 being the warmest year on record then 1998. In between times the earth has warmed and cooled and warmed again. Strange how that is. Strange how there is nothing we can do to stop it. I bet the mammoths were some ticked when the climate suddenly cooled and they all died in the ensuing ice age. Did they just not fart enough or what was the deal?

@hippyjoe1955 we didn’t ask for an aus. holes opinion did we. 😂 their always full of gas!
