You seem to have fallen off of an ideological deep end to the point of resisting basic facts, and an unwillingness to accept any position other than your own as "leftist".

The IR absorption of CO2 is well-known. As is its longevity in the atmosphere, and the amount being put up there by people.

The IR absorption of H2O is also well-known. As is the fact that it tends to precipitate out of the atmosphere, and is not being released by human activities in much greater quantity than was the case historically. (However it is released as the climate changes.) Furthermore H20 has multiple effects - in the form of vapor it is a great greenhouse gas, in the form of clouds it is a great reflector of light, as it precipitates, it removes other things that can cause global warming, if it precipitates as snow, it causes cooling, etc. In any detailed modeling of climate, it is very important and difficult to get the impacts of H20 right.

However in your world global warming is false, and anyone who believes in it is an ignorant leftist. And you think that you can argue this from an IR curve that I guarantee has been thought about more deeply by scientists than you have ever thought about it.

I also suspect that your understanding and my understanding of "private property" is different than yours. You would claim my disagreement with your viewpoint to be ignorance. I, most Americans, most lawyers, and legal historians all disagree with you. At some point you should consider whether it is more likely that you're the lone genius who knows what is right, or whether you're out of touch with reality.
