If it could be shown that anthropogenic GHGs are not the cause of global warning, that would falisfy the AGW paradigm. Perhaps that is why some skeptics try so hard to deny that CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

In my personal experience exceptionally large majority of global warming deniers also disbelieve evolution, thinks fossil fuel is really an inexhaustible mineral resource from the mantle, worships Reagan, and thinks Obama faked his birth certificate.
