Hi Thomas; Re: "Fact, in any dry air of equal Volume and Temperature and Pressure, the higher the partial pressure of CO2 the higher the density."

Sigh.

We're talking about climate here. Climate is something that happens in the real world.

Let's consider New York City's Central Park and the Opera House in Sydney, Australia.

Do you think it's appropriate to assume that the air at either place is dry???

Do you think it's realistic to assume that the temperatures are the same???

Do you that the air at these two locations has the same pressure???

Hopefully you don't.

I could put an erudite argument as to why the weight of CO2 is small enough to be ignored, compared to the massive differences in density caused by water content and temperature differences, but it's clear to me that it wouldn't change your mind.

So how about you go find a peer reviewed science paper that agrees with you and post it here. Think of it as your contribution to education on climate.
