Why suggest there is a need to question the origin of the AGW thesis? That is what the studies have done by definition. If the studies hadn't been done and replicated many times then you could ask why the assumptions hadn't been questioned. That's how science works.
Of course CO2 is relevant. If sunlight is allowed in by its transparency and it is not transparent to outgoing infrared then we have a heating problem. Since I have faith that the scientists that talk about CO2 transparency have considered your ref. to DMS I can only dismiss your contention until you can persuade me differently.
Well James Lovelock says it is too late but I'm not giving up because I think we have to make efforts to shorten the amount of time the worst warming conditions will last.
The Chinese really didn't have enough to go around because the West was continually trying to destroy them. The Chinese had 400 million people in 1900 or 100 mill. more than the US, 100 yrs.before the US reached 300 mill. in 2000. With unlimited water from the Himalayas and a favorable warm climate they grew continuously for at least 10,000 yrs. To criticize them for having to take drastic pop. control measures when faced with a hostile West is not fair or logical.
