The climate alarmists need to understand that the shielding and blocking effect of greenhouse gases works in both directions: it substantially reduces the flow of energy into the earth's surface from the sun during daytime, and also slows down the release of energy from the earth's surface at night. So the main impact of greenhouse gases is to lower the daytime high temperatures and raise the nighttime lows, thereby moderating the earth's temperature and making our planet much more inhabitable by humans and all forms of life. Also, CO2 is a very ineffective greenhouse gas and even doubling the CO2 level in our atmosphere will not have any significant effect on average temperatures throughout the year. Water vapor is the main greenhouse gas, and greatly reduces the daily temperature range on the earth, while the sun is the main driver of long-term temperature change.
“This is a great blog article”
And yet, you posted it in News/Activism.
Interesting, informative article. Thanks for posting.
I’d like to believe it, but his links either get a 404 or wind up at a loony site, or bring up unrelated material.
*ping*
The sun? Come on man. Are you serious? I'll have to check with my staff on that point and get back with you.
Article is from March 12, 2018
OH! NOES!
River City, we've got a PROBLEM Right Here!
Like I said, fill a transparent balloon with CO2 and you will have result little different than with Oxygen in terms of temperature fluctuations, maybe even sizes. Water is a different thing.
It is, and thats why the russian woman scientists model works, and its prediction of a grand solar minimum occuring now is the one i am betting is correct.
The links at the top for Data, Research, News, and About link aren't links at all. That's poor site design.
The article is from March 2018, cites information going back ten years as if it recent, and it has several dead links. Dead links and misleading citations are not good academic style, which is what this tries to look like.
The claim NASA said CO2 is a cooling gas, was from a 2012 article about CO2 and nitric acid in the upper atmosphere, not the overall effects of CO2 on the climate.
Looking over other articles this looks like a right wing conspiracy/medical quackery site capitalizing on global cooling as its selling point.

I don’t know enough to comment on the claim that CO2 is cooling the atmosphere, but the author gets one fact absolutely correct...
Earth’s highest layer of atmosphere has been “leaking” heat into space at the fastest rate ever recorded.
However, since we only have a couple decades of satellite data on that heat transfer, we really don’t know if the current rate is important or not.
Are these people ever going to make up their minds?
When the left fringe (aka: socialists) take over the Executive and Legislative branches of government EVERYbody at NASA will be herded off to the education camp over this blasphemy.
I have two NASA children. I hope they will be able to bail in time.
The reduced solar output is now producing a cooling trend in Earths climate so now so scientists are trying to figure out a new science way to blame atmospheric CO2 for Global Cooling in order to keep the CO2 Research machine and cap and trade income redistribution scams alive
Solar output is the single dominant parameter in Earths weather and and mean temperature and the suns output varies significantly over time.
Since the suns output is far from constant, a fundamental fallacy of all global warming research is the basic assumption that climate models have any way of looking backward in history to any point in time before the actual solar output of the sun was measured because the amount of solar radiation is the dominant factor and starting point for any climate models calculations
This is basic thermodynamics and heat transfer, but it is a basic heat transfer principle almost completely unaddressed by the global warming community.
Most global warming research like the arctic ice core sample studies are akin to pulling the leftovers of a cooked Thanksgiving turkey from the previous year out of the refrigerator and doing a very sophisticated forensic analysis to try to determine the temperature of the oven it was cooked in
Looking forward in time to make climate model based climate predictions is simply not doable because it is impossible to predict the suns solar output at any given time in the future.
ping for later
Of COURSE it is!
What's the temperature of Mars?
