No, if you were paying attention to the science, you would know that the theory depends on a lot of very uncertain things, the biggest probably being the effect of clouds. The theory is that the enhanced warming from the extra greenhouse gasses cause more water vapor to be in the atmosphere, and that the water vapor has a positive feedback, leading to catastrophic warming.

There are many reasons to be skeptical of this theory. The models upon which the sky is said to be falling are horrible at predicting things. The idea that current warming is unprecedented is based on a lot of bad statistics and flawed methodologies (and that's being generous and assuming the perpetrators are just stupid, not malicious). Current measurements are not even as good as most people think they are. If the system is so precarious that a little bit more of a trace gas can cause such a runaway effect, why hasn't it happened before? Even if the temperature predictions have some basis in reality, how do we really know it won't be a net benefit?

When I read something like what you wrote, and am told how all right thinking people know it to be a fact, I am reminded of this wise quote paraphrase, "Well, the trouble with our catastrophic anthropogenic global warming friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn’t so."

I am humbled by your rhetorical prowess.

At least use the appropriate font when linking to the clowns at Skepticalscience.
