Everything You Need to Know About Global Warming in 5 Minutes

(2) One of the properties of CO2 is that it creates a greenhouse effect and, all other things being equal, an increase in its concentration in the atmosphere causes the Earth’s temperature to rise. This is just physics.

Of course NOBODY has actually proven this assertion. It is certainly NOT "just physics"...

CO2 does absorb a small amount of infrared radiation in a very restricted bandwidth, but it also re-radiates that energy in all directions. The amount of energy radiated from the earth at the correct frequency to interact with CO2 is quite small, and even in laboratory conditions the effect is not proportional with CO2 concentration, and it is not a linear relationship with CO2 concentration in the air.

In the atmosphere there are many other factors which mitigate or mask any "greenhouse effect" of CO2 most of which are not fully understood and which have NEVER been accurately measured.

The whole carbon scam rests on this unproven "Point number 2" and it always amazes me who it can be rolled out as a "fact" or described as "just physics" without the slightest shred of evidence.

PS. The "greenhouse effect" has nothing to do with real greenhouses which maintain their higher internal temperatures by restricting losses due to convection and have nothing to do with CO2 or any other "greenhouse" gas. Even the name "greenhouse gas" is a fraud!
