"They" say a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, there is value in reading the thousand words rather than just the comic book. Pay special attention to section 4 in the study provided above (it is much less than a thousand words). As I read it, the study shows that while CO2 makes up only about 20% of greenhouse gases, changes in CO2 have a non-linear and much greater affect.
Does the study support the statement that changes in CO2 contribute to 80% of global warming? It's too early to do that math in my head. However, the paper certainly does not refute that.
