We are not anywhere near saturation.

Not anywhere close!

I'll post this again:

Describe to me what is actually happening.

Eric

Then I'll explain the physics of this experiment to you.

It's not. We don't get out of this that easily. Here is real physics.

A Saturated Gassy Argument
  • — group @ 26 June 2007 - ( )

    A guest post by Spencer Weart, in collaboration with Raymond T. Pierrehumbert

    The simple physics explanations for the greenhouse effect that you find on the internet are often quite wrong. These well-meaning errors can promote confusion about whether humanity is truly causing global warming by adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Some people have been arguing that simple physics shows there is already so much CO2 in the air that its effect on infrared radiation is "saturated"— meaning that adding more gas can make scarcely any difference in how much radiation gets through the atmosphere, since all the radiation is already blocked. And besides, isn’t water vapor already blocking all the infrared rays that CO2 ever would?
