There is no greenhouse effect

The study was done by the Cato Institue, which is funded by the Koch's. To but it simply, the 'liberterian free market' think tank that Cato is, is funded heavily by fossil fuel interests.
Amazing how quick you guys are quick to dismiss the findings of NASA, NOAA and thousands and thousands of actual universites, yet jump on a pro-Oil, right wing think tank bandwagon.

Green house gas is a term used to scare people.
Carbon dioxide is a natural occurring gas-byproduct and catalysis for growth.
Let me turn to the topic of fossil fuels.
To paraphrase Monty Python, What have fossil fuels done for us?
Apart from a new continent’s worth of green vegetation.
And removing the need to cook over a wood fire, the smoke from which is one of the biggest killers in the world, dispatching over three million people a year according to the World Health Organisation.
And removing the need to fetch wood from the forest and dismantle an ecosystem in doing so.
Apart from that what have fossil fuels done for us?
Well, I suppose they supply the power to pump water so that it does not have to be fetched.
They allow electric light and hence help literacy and education.
They bring the refrigeration of food and vaccines.
They enable the child to catch a lift to school.
They make the fertilizer that raises farm yields, ending most hunger and sparing land for wildlife.
Yes, but apart from ending starvation, enabling kids to get to school, refrigerating vaccines, boosting literacy, pumping water, reducing the pressure on forests, reducing indoor air pollution, and creating 14% more green vegetation – apart from all this, what have fossil fuels done for us?
“Fossil fuels don’t take a safe climate and make it dangerous, they take a dangerous climate and make it safe,” says Alex Epstein.

Can you take 10 minutes to read this short report from the CIA and tell me your thoughts?
If anything would be cause for fear it would be global cooling.
Can you show me anything that would indicate that C02 is anything more than a small contributor to any warming that the earth has experienced?

No, Co2 is a (supposed) major cause of the greenhouse effect. The info that I have seen (and it has been massive) is inconclusive at best.
But there is huge $$$ being made.
