Ajax, the spectrometry shows the CO2, methane, ozone, nitrous oxide, CFCs etc molecules DO block a lot of IR from leaving the earth.
Going off on tangents again avoiding the question, if you cannot explain it just say so.
We don't need spectrometry to verify this, it is well known and no one is disputing it, all gases mentioned above are greenhouse gases and we know what they do.
Quote:Talking about CO2 being only a trace gas etc therefor is meaningless.
No its not, its a trace gas because there so little of it in the atmosphere and it accounts for about 3.7% of the greenhouse effect here on Earth.
Humans contribute with their fossil fuel emissions 3% of the CO2 (3.7%) greenhouse effect.
Do you know how small this number is.
Do you really think that the earth is so finely balanced that a small increase in CO2 would destroy all life on Earth.
If this was the case life on earth would have ended a long long time ago.
Water vapour cause 95% of the greenhouse effect here on Earth.
Quote:To some extent it is good that CO2 does that—without it the average temperature of the earth would be like -15°C.
Lets not also forget that today we have some of the lowest amounts of atmospheric CO2 in our history and that it did reach levels of 7000ppm in the past, there was no runaway greenhouse effect back then why should there be one today because we have gone from 280ppm to 400ppm, when we had 7000ppm in the past.
Quote:But now, even at only 410ppm we have TOO MUCH CO2 in the atmosphere. And that is causing methane to be released from thawed tundra, worsening the warming. All from trace amounts of CO2.
Rubbish you don't know what you're talking about.
You seem to parrot what the oligarchies hysterical media is spewing out to the general public in order for them to be able to form a $7 trillion dollar per annum carbon derivatives market so they can further exploit nations and individuals.
They want us to pay for the air we breathe.
