@John P. It’s nice to see someone on here with an understanding of the physics the radiative transfer. I sometimes assume I’m only talking to the void around here. Thanks for a very good explanation of how it works. To be fair, this is a rather complicated subject and for someone not trained in this area, can be somewhat confusing or even contradictory at the surface. Thanks for recommending those sources as well. I’m sure those posters above will look into those….
There seems to be no shortage of “experts” here who are great at parroting the easily-disproved climate change denial talking points. Recently the topic of “CO2 saturation” seems to come up- I would hope those spouting that point would read your post.
Another favorite talking point is that CO2 shouldn’t be a problem because “plants need it,” but the whole “CO2 is just a trace gas, and not a problem” is something I haven’t seen posted before. If that’s your perspective (@James W, Daniel M, Dennis B), then please be sure to tell the cop not to worry about a driver blowing a 0.400 BAC- “it’s just a trace, man”……
