Warmism is showing itself more and more as highly theoretical, unproven (by any normal scientific standard) worrywartism.

The hypothesis of global warming is based on the property of carbon dioxide gas having an exceptionally broad absorbance/emission band within the infrared part of the spectrum. In contrast, most chemicals have fairly narrow bands where they absorb and emit light. The absorbance of a photon of light causes a slight increase in energy of the absorbing molecule. The photon is emitted at a slightly lower energy, and the energy difference is converted to kinetic energy of the absorbing molecule. Regardless of the absorbance/emission properties of CO2, the energy of the entire system remains unchanged.
