And carbon? Of all things to declare war on? Carbon? Really?

[bert]

carbon in the form of carbon dioxide is said to be a greenhouse gas. Like the glass in a greenhouse, the excessive green house gasses in the atmosphere resist radiation into space thus increasing the temperatures.

Recently, a Freeper introduced a brilliant thought. CO2 is heavier then air and cannot form a layer at altitudes necessary to act as the glass in a green house.

I had never heard that thought which seems on the surface to be correct

Of all things to declare war on? Carbon?

Not carbon, but carbon di-oxide. The other choice was hydrogen di-oxide (water).
