Global warming is real; being caused by carbon dioxide is not. It is very little to ask for, an explanation, How can carbon dioxide gather enough heat to cause global warming? Senators, and congressmen, should make this demand – red is from P.S.NORAC

How does carbon dioxide trap heat?  https://news.climate.columbia.edu/2021/02/25/carbon-dioxide-cause-global-

You’ve probably already read that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases act like a blanket or a cap, trapping some of the heat that Earth might have otherwise radiated out into space. That’s the simple answer. But how exactly do certain molecules trap heat? The answer there requires diving into physics and chemistry.

Simplified diagram showing how Earth transforms sunlight into infrared energy. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane absorb the infrared energy, re-emitting some of it back toward Earth and some of it out into space.

When sunlight reaches Earth, the surface absorbs some of the light’s energy and reradiates it as infrared waves, which we feel as heat. (Hold your hand over a dark rock on a warm sunny day and you can feel this phenomenon for yourself.) These infrared waves travel up into the atmosphere and will escape back into space if unimpeded.

Joshua Randall Story excerpt: read from P.S. NORAC

Mary raised her hand, “Excuse me, Professor Randall, but they’re not saying that carbon dioxide is capturing heat; they are saying that it is blocking heat from escaping.” Professor Randall looked thoughtful. “Let me see if I understand you, Mary. They say that carbon dioxide serves like a membrane that traps heat in. Is that right?” Mary nodded. “Yes, that’s what I understand.”

He walked over to his desk and picked up a tube that he had brought to class. Removing a window screen approximately 6ft by 6ft  from the tube, he unrolled it, pinning it to the top of the chalkboard.

“Now, if you were to count the squares across the top of the screen you would come up with one thousand squares,” he told the room full of students. “And if you were to count the squares up and down, you would come up with one thousand squares. The total number of squares equals one million. Let’s say these represent the parts per million of our atmosphere.

“Now look at the middle of the screen. Here is a section approximately 6.3 inches by 6.3 inches square, that is filled in. This section will block anything from getting through.” He pointed to the darkened section of the screen. “This represents the 400 ppm of carbon dioxide that exists in our atmosphere, including carbon dioxide produced by humans.

“Now ask yourself: How many rays striking the screen are restrained from getting through?” Professor Randall answered his own question: “Effectively, very few.” After a slight pause he summed up: “Carbon dioxide does not have enough physical presence to block enough heat from escaping Earth’s atmosphere nor capture enough heat to warm Earth’s atmosphere.”

Their reasoning does not deal with the physics and chemistry.

A more logistically challenging experiment that Smerdon recommends involves putting an infrared camera and a candle at opposite ends of a closed tube. When the tube is filled with ambient air, the camera picks up the infrared heat from the candle clearly. But once the tube is filled with carbon dioxide, the infrared image of the flame disappears, because the CO2 in the tube absorbs and scatters the heat from the candle in all directions, and therefore blurs out the image of the candle.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. The Earth’s atmosphere is not complete carbon dioxide. So, the tube filled with the carbon dioxide does not represent our atmosphere. However, the tube filled with the ambient air does represent our atmosphere; this testifies to the fact that there isn’t enough carbon dioxide in our atmosphere to have an affect. More incompetence;  Any individual spending thousands of dollars on an education and ends up with this type of narrow bandwidth of reasoning should demand a refund on his tuition.

Why Carbon Dioxide Is a Greenhouse Gas

The Australia-based Galileo Movement touts a series of “basic facts” on carbon dioxide that attempt to explain why the greenhouse gas can’t contribute to climate change.                        John Smeed, the movement’s co-founder, says the case against carbon dioxide as a global warming culprit is simply a matter of “junior school physics.”

“If you show this to any scientist and say to them, ‘Disprove to me any of these points,’ they can’t,”

Douglas Fisher said

“And he’s right: Many of the facts are perfectly true. But they are also irrelevant in the climate debate.”

Douglas Fisher admits that the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is minuscule. He goes on to say.

“So, while their concentrations are minuscule, their effect is anything but: If the atmosphere didn’t have those trace amounts of greenhouse gases, New York City would be covered in ice sheets – not sweltering – on a typical summer afternoon. The globe’s average temperature would be almost 60 degrees Fahrenheit lower.”

Douglas Fisher does not give a physical or chemical. Explanation ,no facts.

Let’s imagine the company that you’re working for reassigned you to North Dakota. You are told that the temperature there can get to 40 degrees below zero. You locate a house to live in, that looks very promising. The owner starts to explain all the facets and features of the house, and he enthusiastically proclaims that the house could be heated with a candle. You laugh, until you realize he was serious. You now have reasonable doubt: you understand the volume of heat that would be required to warm a home at 40 degrees below 0. Therefore, it is not unreasonable that you would doubt that something as miniscule as carbon dioxide could cause global warming.

The absolute truth is that heat seeks its own level. That means that if you have two objects in contact with each other, one being warmer than the other and one being colder, eventually they will both be the same temperature. The warmer object giving off some of its heat.

One pound of air at 40 degrees is in contact with one pound of water at 50 degrees: What is the temperature that they will finally reach at atmospheric pressure? You have a 10-degree difference. You know that the water will give off some of its heat to the colder air. You know the temperature of air is increased by 1 degree with 0.25 British thermal units. You know that one pound of water increases temperature by one British thermal unit per degree. You now know that the water has 10 British thermal units more of laden heat than the air. If the water was to lower by 2 degrees, it would mean that it gave 2 British thermal units to the air, raising its temperature by 8 degrees, making both 48 degrees. If you would apply this knowledge to our atmosphere you might conclude these people are playing looney tunes

Thank you for responding to our post. We have looked at the information that you directed us to. I would like to direct you to, a portion that denies the application of true science. True science has always said that correlation does not equal causation. Which means that two things happening at the same time does not mean that one is the cause of the other. The paragraph below is taken word for word from that article. Please notice the words “corresponds to a global”. Whether this was done through ignorance or an attempt to deceive I do not know. This article does not explain how carbon dioxide can warm the rest of the atmosphere. In fact, all the articles that we have researched use the same approach, correlation. There are many articles written that state, in the history of our atmosphere, carbon dioxide and temperature do not correlate.

“Radiative transfer models calculate that the increase in CO2 since 1750 corresponds to a global annual mean radiative forcing at the tropopause of 1.826 0.19Wm22 (ref. 2)”
