No one, not a single scientist has put forward a single model that, when using known data and accepted quantities produces a flat or cooler planet with increasing CO2 levels. It has nothing to do with culture. It simply does not exist.
I'm not an expert, but that doesn't mean I or other laypersons will feel obliged to believe whatever a so called expert says. There is too much data out there for anyone to be an expert on everything, yet we must still evaluate what experts say. And that doesn't mean always deferring to experts, even when someone knows much more than you about a subject matter there are ways to evaluate his results without becoming an expert yourself.
When you start making absolute statements, my bullshit detector goes off. Science does not deal with absolutes. Now you couch it with caveats like, "accepted quantities" but that could mean many things, allowing you a no true Scotsman retreat. If there's a model that would contradict your universal statement, then it must not be using "accepted quantities".
In fact, I'm much more skeptical of these models if none exist that can show a cooling effect. Perhaps none show a cooling effect "all things being equal". But as we know from paleoclimatology, there is much more affecting the climate than just us. We can never assume "all things will be equal". It could very well be that AGW is merely delaying an ice age that would have occurred sooner rather than later without us. To say this is not even a possibility with the limited data climate data we have measured, relative to the known age of the Earth, sounds like nothing but hubris.
Now, I'm a skeptic but I'm inclined to believe that AGW is more or less true. I don't believe it will be cataclysmic, however. All that CO2 we're barfing into the atmosphere was once in the atmosphere before it was sequestered by organisms and geological processes.
Climatologists, if they want to be taken seriously, need to stop at the science. Tell us what the temperature levels and sea levels will look like in a X decades. Sure, but don't speculate on the social or economic implications. The worst predictions I've heard so far aren't particularly dramatic, and don't seem like they'll affect me during my entire life. This is a far cry from the alarmist Ranger Rick articles I read as a kid in the 80's. I was convinced that by now none of the populous coastal cities would be above water anymore.
When the alarm keeps getting sounded without an ensuing alarm-worthy event, people get inured. They stop believing. Against such a background it's difficult to believe the hockey stick type alarmism that's current. Rather, for the layperson, it seems reasonable to expect a moderated temperature increase over many decades. This expectation drives no immediate call to action. It motivates a measured rather than dramatic response. Sure, we should cut back on CO2 emissions where reasonable. But the tradeoff isn't worth it to make any dramatic, socially disruptive changes at this moment. The amount of environmental harm we prevent is not balanced against the social and economic chaos that would ensure.
