Oct. 15) -- The Earth's atmosphere is a complicated place. Somewhere in that swirling, shifting mixture of air, water and other gasses is the key to keeping us earthlings alive -- or to cooking us.
Carbon dioxide has always received the most media attention as the leading cause of climate change, and a new study from NASA does more than concur with this assessment: It finds CO2 is overwhelmingly responsible for raising Earth's temperature.

This from the same agency that once put a man on the moon...
Ping!
NASA put a man on the moon when Germans ran it Today, NASA knows more about Islam than CO2 or the Moon.
F NASA.
Well, silly me... I thought heat caused warming.
What the hell are they doing worrying about global warming, their mission is to make nice with Muslim nations. Sheesh, keep your priorities straight, NASA.
And no doubt NASA knows that a good stiff tax on Americans will make the bad global warming go away.
Whatever happened to the wonderful NASA of my youth?
This study must have been made in a bar of heron den. Who made the study and why do the not dare name it? Why do they not publish it. Was the guy drunk at the time he made these remarks? All mouth and no proof.
We’re doomed!
well thank goodness we don’t have to have cap-and-tax on water vapor /sarc
Seatlle would be screwed!
I have the solution! Make exhalation illegal. Or maybe tax it heavily.
Obama’s new NASA.... Muslim Aeronautics and Space Administration, MASA.
The Obama filth has tainted anything American.
NASA what is dirtier than a heavy lift rocket launch?
If you want to help stop global warming, disband yourself.
It would be nice if we still had a real NASA, rather than a group that uses our money to make muslims feel good about their “contributions” to science.
Someone should tell NASA that time moves forward, and that in the real time-forward world, warming causes CO2, and not the other way around.
SAVE THE WORLD... stop a lib from exhaling.
Climate models: Garbage in = garbage out.
With NASA, let's build a model which will give us the results we want, i.e. THE SKY IS FALLING!!
Why is NASA doing worrying about this stuff when their primary directive is to promote Islam?
Andrew Lacis (NASA) is a liberal lap dog stooge who is spouting the commie environmental lie.
It is elitists like him the couldn’t actually analyze any physical phenomona without pawning the job onto a subordinate who is smarter than they are, but who lacks the brown nose acquired by years of sucking up to other elitists.
This is something that can be read in a different way. At current temperatures CO2 only adds slightly to IR absorbtion because H2O dominates. What there model says is that without a fixed IR absorber H2O absorbtion can be frozen out, that is, in a positive feedback manner the planet can freeze over. CO2 and other absorbers that are not frozen out provide a lower limit to the absorbtion, which provides a lower limit to temperature swings. However, it is only of importance at lower temperatures when H2O absorbtion no longer dominates, which is not the case now.
It follows then that it is very important to have CO2 in the atmosphere to prevent this process. Something like this happened early in the history of the earth and it became covered with ice.
