Carbon Dioxide Does Not Cause Global Warming: We don’t have to guess about this. We have empirical and scientific proof.

[[CO2 absorbs electromagnetic radiation in a number of wave lengths across the visible and IR spectrum and converts that energy to kinetic energy via a number of molecular vibration modes. The kinetic energy is then dissipated and transferred to the atmosphere generating an increase in heat.]]

{{generating an increase in heat}}

How much heat?

It needs to be explained how much energy/heat is created IF the atmospheric CO2 is just 0.04% total? It can’ be anywhere near enough to heat the globe-

[Bob434]

[[Even at only 4% of our atmosphere, CO2]]

Isn’t greenhouse gases (all) only about 0.04% of the atmosphere?

[Bob434]

ignore my last post- i see you corrected the 4% later

[Bob434]

[[meaning half into higher altitudes and eventually space and the other half to lower altitudes and eventually the surface of the earth.]]

My question is: If only 1/2 reaches earth- and it’s a very small amount to begin with- wouldn’t it reach equilibrium by the time it does? Wouldn’t the vast amount of cooler surface temps cause it to cool? Like pouring 5 gallons of 100 degree water into an olympic sized pool full of 90 degree water? Wouldn’t the 100 degree water drop to 90 almost instantly?

OK, it doesn’t “reflect”, it “re-radiates”. Big whoop.
