I wish I had a dollar for every thread that I’ve scrolled past.
If you think switching g to broadcasting leftist propaganda about warming is a break then you are delusional.
I will make a big prediction - the sea level will be ritually the sam 100 years from now.
There aren't many similar phenonmeon.
I didn’t use to divide T by 100.
I don’t need to read the an article on CO2 because this little thing called the Sun that determines our weather, not a trace gas.
I’ve heard people suggest we should genetically engineer some kind of algae to get rid of CO2. Without CO2 the earth would be as dead as the moon. It was required for life long before oxygen production began. With more CO2 there is more plant life, and more animal life as a result. During the age of dinosaurs, CO2 rose to 5 or 6 times the levels of today. Jungles covered the earth and insects grew to human size. About 2 billion years ago CO2 became dangerously low and all life went nearly extinct, except for a meager 1% which held on by a thread. What therefore is the greater danger?
“I didn’t use to divide T by 100.”
Me neither. I’m gonna have to circle back....
bkmk
This is an important article. But the author needs to distill it down so that the average citizen can understand it.
The sea level will continue rising at the same rate it has been rising for the last 7000 years until the ice is all gone in a few thousand more years.
From the article, second sentence:
The life-giving gas is so crucial we need MORE not less of it.
Leftists want to ban it. The article is pro-CO2.
The article is way too long to wade through.
My question is since CO2 compromises 0.02% of the atmosphere and water vapor varies and can get to 100%, what sort of magic causes CO2 to cause more heating than water vapor???

Cover the soil with green stuff. People are planting into nitrogen fixing cover crops now. They run a crimper/roller on the front of the tractor and a seed planter on the back. Now dust bowl effect, no top soil run off in heavy rains, way less or no commercial fertilizers, plenty of life in the soil. Reclaim the man-made deserts. Leave the cows alone. There were more Bison here a few hundred years ago than there are cows here now and they farted too.
“… insects grew to human size…”
Huh?
But the narrowness of these bands implies that only items at the surface at two very specific temperatures emit IR at the two frequencies that are absorbed. That means that throughout the day (and the seasons) that the absorption rate changes constantly as the surface temperatures vary.
So only surface areas at very specific temperatures contribute to CO2 greenhouse effects: the surface elements that are too cold or too hot are outside those two narrow bands, so CO2 has zero greenhouse effect.
I doubt that what was he was trying to prove.
I think that "global warming" is true in the sense that average temperatures have been increasing since the early 18th century. But the human contribution to that increase is probably infinitesimal.
