£5k eh? What will you spend yours on. Wine, women or song?

davezawadi (David Stone):
You need to see the proof? Here it is, very well expressed.
More guff. First, Monkcton is a classicist with a journalism degree, not a climate scientist.
Second, the Heartland Institute is not a centre of expertise on climate science. It is, rather, a contrarian think-tank which has addressed a variety of general scientific/technological issues arising from market failures, such as DDT, the link between smoking and cancer, and of course global warming, in a manner contrary to the consensus of (real) scientists.
If you really want to get into detail on the guff, let's do it point by point.
Point 1. It apparently impresses you that the Mauna Loa measurements of CO2 didn't show the dip you seem to have expected in 2020.
First, do you know how much global emissions of greenhouse gases reduced in 2020? Second, how long would you expect a reduction (of that magnitude) to show up in the Mauna Loa readings? (And, third, please justify those assertions by reference to the scientifically-reliable literature.)
