Many people still believe in the hockey stick, including me, but I personally doubt CO2 is the main cause, partially due to radiation absorption graphs and because CO2 does not appear to prevent temperatures from dropping rapidly in Florida after 3pm.

I’m sure that many people do indeed believe in the hockey stick but it is a lie. The main driver for data that says temperatures have risen dramatically in the last half of the 20th century is from old climate monitoring stations that while once in rural areas have been absorbed by cities with air conditioners and asphalt surrounding them.
Our climate has indeed increased in warming in the last 50, 100, 200years, and longer, it is a representation of our coming out of the last ice age. Hundreds of climate data centers have been removed in rural areas especially in the far north, removed because they did not show warming.
Satellite climate data shows no dramatic warming, only the steady, slow increase since the end of the last ice age.
The US should buy Greenland as a basis for study...
That’s right, the UHI - Urban Heat Island effect. I should have included that in my post above. Thanks.
