Until then, they're pitching hokum. When the AGW crowd explains why the observed atmospheric temps don’t match the CO2 model’s predictions, then I’ll listen to them.

Specifically, the “consensus” about anthropogenic climate change entails the following:

1) the climate is undergoing a pronounced warming trend beyond the range of natural variability;

2) the major cause of most of the observed warming is rising levels of the greenhouse gas CO2;

3) the rise in CO2 is the result of burning fossil fuels;

4) if CO2 continues to rise over the next century, the warming will continue; and
