Thanks that’s very helpful. I will have to remember the water vapor contribution from now on.
I wonder if they have ever set CO`2 readers on the roofs of liberal houses.
How sad that Scientific American has gone from a journal of solid science to a dumbed-down rag for ecohysterics.
Better the temps go up than down!
They did a similar thing here in Pittsburgh back in the 70’s.
They strategically located all of the air pollution monitors over bus stops where old diesel buses would sit and idle for extended periods of time.
Pre-HISTORIC levels???
Pre =(before)
Historic(history)
How do they even know what THOSE levels WERE???
I cannot believe how STUPID these folks are, nor how STUPID they think WE are.
They use proxy measures: tree rings, ice cores, sediment cores. They are actually pretty good proxies if you know what you’re looking for.
The current rise in CO2 levels did not begin until all the mexicans came up here and brought their frijoles and burritos, which increased the flatulence levels in North America.
I just wish the powers that be would stop spraying crap in the atmosphere here.. took the dogs out this morning, the first thing I see is chemtrails as distinct as can be over the South Bay.. they did railroad tracks this morning, I’m sure they’ll be playing tic tac toe soon enough..
I hear rich folks and corporate types and scientists are behind efforts to modify the atmosphere to inhibit global warming.. they call it geoengineering.
.. and apparently politicos and local officials and celebs and the media are either clueless or unwilling to challenge much mess even mention it themselves.
I know one thing, Man-made gullibility is a cheap commodity these days.. and some are willing to go all in with no thought for future ramifications of policies the Nazis would readily embrace.
Junk science? Heck, junk planet.. sadly, they forget, no one gets out alive.. and they feel to see how they are speeding the planet purging process, not slowing anything.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling! /sarc
The definition of greenhouse gase is that they hold the
heat that the sun puts down on the earth, onto the earth.
The whole atmosphere we live is a mixture of greenhouse
gases, and we couldn’t live on this planet temperature
wise without the atmosphere as it would go down to minus
150 at night as all the heat from the day
would all escape.
And of the mixture of gases in the air around us, CO2
actually transfers heat faster, than most gases in the
air mixture; IE it has less insulation value
than O2 and N2 that make up 98% of the air.
Guys making thermopane windows tried CO2 and found it
transfers heat faster than air... So if CO2 is one part
in 2500, in 2000, in 3000, ETC, in the whole air mixture,
which is all the greenhouse gase mixture we live in,
it doesn’t matter. And we could not, temperature wise
live here,, if we didn’t have the air mixture, including
CO2 needed for plants to raise our food.
ONE PART CO2 IN 2500 DOES NOT MEANS SQUAT...
Of course you get problems like the AGW HOAX getting
traction and support... because folks are not
taught real science nowadays..Ed
Money. Lots and lots of money.
Regardless, the hourly levels at Mauna Loa will soon drop as spring kicks in
The point of that graph being that temperature change leads the CO2 change.
