@socratesccost Nice attempt to move the goalposts.
Water vapor is a feedback to warming, period. Warmer air holds more moisture, and water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas.

@socratesccost This is AI garbage - almost every point is wrong.
For starters, water vapor feedback is measured by satellite and it's positive, ~ 1.8 W/m2/K. See Dessler & Davis (2010) and Dessler et al. (2013).
@socratesccost Except 0.237 C/W/m2 isn't the correct climate sensitivity factor. In reality, it's closer to 0.8 C/W/m2.
If you really were a "CRITICAL THINKER" you would have noticed this and questioned it. Shewchuk provides no source for this figure because he knows it's wrong.

@Dr_SlopLord@djcoates_@peakaustria The IPCC does not say that within measurement error humans haven't warmed anything.
Where are you getting this from? Cite it.
@Dr_SlopLord@djcoates_@peakaustria Do you actually think that CO2 isn't a GHG or that the greenhouse effect doesn't exist?
You can derive the forcing from first principles using CO2 spectroscopy and the lapse rate. It's purely physics.
Happy to point you to papers if this is your contention.
@1sum1else1@punished_minion Why should the lower house be proportional? I don't think you've actually thought this through, you're simply unhappy with the current government.
Instead of Labor majority governments we'd have Labor + Green + Ind minority / coalition governments. Is that more representative?
@adamseconomics@PrueBardsley You're supposed to be a political commentator. How about you don't just repost a "story" from a literal fake news website?
Hold yourself to some standard.
@GenXTruther72@realJoeBama@JoshuaCarr43335@denoots@LeffGeoff Seats aren't determined by the state-wide popular vote.
You vote for someone to represent your electorate. In the majority of electorates, the majority preferred the Labor candidate to represent them.
It's not that difficult to understand.
