Andy. AGW CO2 warming theory rests on IR being absorbed, and reflected back down to Earth. The experiment shows that even allowing no IR to escape there is no material effect on temperature. So what CO2 does with IR doesn’t matter. It’s irrelevent. End of AGW theory.

As a share of GDP, the U.S. Federal debt held by the public exceeds 50 percent in FY2009, the highest debt ratio since 1955. Projections indicate the debt ratio may be in the 70-100 percent range within ten years. In many respects, the temptation to inflate away some of this debt burden is similar to that at the end of World War II. In 1946, the debt ratio was 108.6 percent. Inflation reduced this ratio about 40 percent within a decade.
