The conclusions or the vast majority of climate scientists is based on a variety of evidence not simple co2 or temperature fluctuations as you harp on.
Given your scientific background I think it even more prudent that you present your evidence and data to the journals and the climate scientists!

No it's not about duplicating the Earth, it's about - 1. repeatable experiments. (how can I know something wasn't a fluke, if I can't do it again?) and - 2. replicable - Somebody who has the capability to do the same experiment (and has no vested interest in the result) does the same experiment and gets the same result. I ask, what experiments? There aren't any. There are measurements, but only direct ones for the last few hundred years, the rest being extrapolations from secondary sources. (Tree rings, ice cores, ect.) I don't say they are worthless, but they aren't as fine grained and accurate as direct measurement (and large pieces of data needed just aren't in them). Upon this a faith has been built, and woe be to the dissenters.
Now I have provided more information, described more limitations to the data, described the gaps in the logic chain, and carefully explained why I consider the current Global Warming worldview too uncertain to be making policy decisions affecting billion of current lives. What has been your response?
Nothing. NO description of where the gaps can be filled. NO specifics of where my logic chain is incorrect. NO descriptions of how experiments can be built. NO anything except -
Scientists said it.
I believe it.
That ends it.
Well, I heard that as a kid with one word changed. (I'll leave the word to the discerning reader....)
Oh yes, and calling me a liar and a fool...
