Global Warming on Free Republic
All of anthropogenic gloabl warming was a fantasy.
It had liberals creaming their jeans at the thought of all that control they could steal in order to “protect the planet”
Not exactly. The % of absorption of light capability from CO2 gas has a logarithmic response that weakens under higher concentrations of CO2 gas. So eventually you reach a saturation point where higher CO2 levels mean no more absorption or no more warming. We are close to that saturation point now, which explains why temperatures have not risen the past 16 years, while CO2 gas concentrations have increased.
Reminds of the annual hurricane predictions put out by the National Hurricane Center.
They come out with big numbers initially and then downgrade them a few times.
Happens every year.
It responds even before any additional heating. Larger concentrations of CO2 speed plant growth pulling CO2 out of the atmosphere at a greater rate.

When plants appeared and evolved on Earth, it is known for a fact that carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration was much higher than it is now. Then, the CO2 concentration was certainly above 1000 parts per million (ppm). Actually, the average CO2 concentration in outdoors air is about 400 ppm on the planet (not really true at your location). Thus, plants enjoy and are stimulated by breathing air with a higher CO2 concentration. That’s why so many indoor gardeners enrich their garden with CO2 during photosynthesis to supply the plants with this essential building material. Through photosynthesis, the carbon in CO2 is extracted and takes part in the building of leaves, stems, flowers and fruits. Proper CO2 concentration from early growing to fructification allows for faster maturation and larger yield.

Well, the IPCC and the three Global Warming Amigos will have to retire to the Dept. of Fakery to cook up their next round of hard sell nonsense.
