You have no facts to support your statement. Very little of the heat travels directly to space (5 to 6%), which is good because otherwise we would be in an unending ice age.
There is no disputing that CO2 contributes to more heat retained in the upper atmosphere. There is no way to tell what the net result of this additional heat is. No one has successfully predicted any measurable effect. But that doesn’t matter to Bill Nye anymore than it does to you, because neither one of you is interested in finding a win win.
There is however a way to tell if a scientist or politician is serious about this issue. They will put 100% of their effort into nuclear power, as that is the only reliable, safe, ecologically sound energy source that would have any measurable effect on CO2 concentration. It also would have the benefit of driving economic growth, which would raise everybody’s standard of living. But then again, it is more fun to gripe about non-serious celebrities while they gripe about you. Just look at how much better we all feel about ourselves!
[[You have no facts to support your statement.]]
Sorry but there is 0.04% co2 I n atmosphere- man produces just 3.4% of that and that mean the Co2 from man comprises just 0.0036%
Those numbers are not In dispute- you can find those numbers anywhere on the net- in science journals- I’m not just pulling them out of nowhere-
The3 heat that doesn’t leave earth is NOT due to man’s CO2- not sure why you’re even bringing that up?
[[But that doesn’t matter to Bill Nye anymore than it does to you, because neither one of you is interested in finding a win win.]]
There is no need to find a win win- man is not causing climate change- period- there is nothing man can do to affect the climate- Even if he saturated the atmosphere with 20-30 percent CO2 there still would not be enough because 3/4 of the heat escaping would go right past the Co2, and only a small fraction of that heat would actually makes it’s way back to earth via back radiation and again would quickly reach equilibrium- We’re not even producing enough CO2 to = 1%, Not even enough to = .1%, not even enough to = .01%
If you are asking for a solution ,then please explain to everyone how just 0.0036% of our atmosphere can be causing climate change=-
[[You have no facts to support your statement. Very little of the heat travels directly to space (5 to 6%), which is good because otherwise we would be in an unending ice age.]]
That heat is not being back radiate to earth- and CO2 has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that that heat remains there- there is NOT enough CO2 to absorb that heat and back radiate it back to earth where the climate would then change- That is the whole point of this issue- The CO2 is not preventing that heat from escaping- it can’t- there simply isn’t enough of it- there isn’;t even enough CO2 when you combine man’s and nature’s CO2 which stands at just 0.04% of the atmosphere
[[There is no way to tell what the net result of this additional heat is.]]
Yes there is- they have devices which measure CO2 entrapped heat that gets back radiated to earth- again, there is so little of it that it can’t possibly be causing global climate change
Again- to simplify this, it’s like taking a thimble of water that is 0.0036% the volume of an Olympic sized pool, making it 2-3 degrees warmer than the pool, and claiming the thimble of water just caused catastrophic temperature change In
