I went by weight.
My point is that it’s not the size, it’s the reflectivity.
CO2 for oen doesn’t reflect CO2 it absorbs, and creates heat, and radiates that heat outwards in all directions- the blanket you showed reflects heat directly back at whatever is underneath it- and CO2 is nowhere near as efficient as space blanket, not does it blanket the globe like you example blankets the body- there simply isn’t enough of it
IF CO2 were reflective, and covered as much as the blanket does- then you would have a point- but most of the heat absorbed gets radiated right out into space- only a very small fraction of what little heat is actually captured/created makes it’s way back towards the earth or remains in the atmosphere-
Again, it’s easy to claim things like ‘CO2 reflects heat’ but it’s the nubmers that count- IF it does, which it doesn’t- it absorbs- then how much actual heat does it reflect? What is the % comapred to the cooler mass of air back on earth? or cooler air in atmosphere for thaqt matter?
See- climate change ideologues are always claiming thigns in a very very general manner- “CO2 absorbs IR and creates heat”
Yep- it do- But, what they are not telling us is that there is so little CO2 that what little IR it does absorb and turn into heat amounts to nothing- practically,- barely even record able- yet they generalize and make it appear like there’s a giant space heater cranking out heat in space heating us all up to dangerous levels-
Size matters- Amount matters- numbers matter- climate agendists avoid then umbers because they do not fit the hysteria-
Perhaps a better analogy would have been to take a 5 gallon bucket of 100 degree water, drop it into an olympic sized pool of 90 degree water, and see if it raises the temp of the pool ‘to dangerous levels’ like the climate- alarmists claim is happening to the climate-
Maybe an even better example would be to have a heater that heats up just 0.00136% of the pool once a year, and see if it ‘raises the pool’s temps to dangerous levels’- but also we’d have to figure out a way to account for most of the extra heat begin radiated out of the pool so that it doesn’t effect the pool water- only allowing a fraction of the 0.00136% of heat to actually remain in the pool
