It might have been note worthy had the article gone into some depth to describe why the ratio of CO2 to other gases is significant.

What other gases?

As far as I can tell, CO2 has a color in the infrared frequency which humans can not see. This color traps heat on Earth. What difference does it make if some other gas is increasing in the same ratio as CO2?

If the oceans are absorbing CO2 then the increase in measured CO2 only represents part of the amount we burned.

In a decade or so the dimming from the aerosols we placed into the Stratosphere may disapear and raise global temperatures faster than today.

Also as SST's rise other greenhouse gases may provide a positive feedback.

I  give this guy one week before he hits some major criticism.

Why is the reported argument so brief?
