If the ocean and flora absorbed all the excess CO₂, then the amount in the atmosphere would not be increasing.

OK.
I found the post from this weekend:

I have already posted numerous times on this, but will do so again to educate YOU. Numerous studies and tests/data ect., show conclusively (done by NASA among other agencies) that when you increase CO2 emissions, the flora absorbs the excess.
We do not emit CO2 in a closed vacuum, like the alarmist use to demonstrate global warming. THey say studies prove that CO2 causes warming in a vacuum. But we do not live in a vacuum. We live in a complex ecosystem with trees, and plants and animals and water, and oceans etc., etc., that all have to be taken into account. The flora absorbs the excess CO2 proven in countless tests and studies.

Yet you continue to cling to the fatally flawed theory that merely increasing CO2 (without taking all the other factors into consideration) will increase warming. That is true in a vacuum, but we don’t live in a vacuum do we? But I never seem to get any of you to acknowledge this or even respond to it other than to call anyone that disagrees with you “stupid” “dumb” “neanderthal” etc., etc. Which is how you argue, don’t argue facts, just call the person that disagrees with you stupid.
I actually use this in the debate club and it works just great. The other side argues their point, and I just get up and say “that person is an idiot.” And I win every time.
