and even that is a small percentage of the actual atmosphere- here again there would need to be a thick continuous blanket of water vapor over the world in order to bounce enough heat back to earth to cause any kind of change in daily temps- and this obviously isn’t the case, the vast majority of the atmosphere has no cloud cover at any given moment- meaning most the heat escaping the planet has nothing I n the atmosphere to prevents it’s complete escape

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!
