Right, the average person hasn't a clue about albedo, nor do they know why say CO2 and CH4 increase global warming whereas others such as O2 are more benign.

It may help lower the temperature of the debate if they did.

Edit, we're pitching this discussion at the level he has—the lay public. Scientific argument over the minutiae is another matter altogether.

Yeah debates in climate science are about phenomena laypeople don’t even know exist. It’s about how what we observe happens. No one is arguing about what we’re observing, eg global warming.
