I'm being attacked by super cold stuff right now D:
Like down to 30 every night O_o
Also global warming as a result of carbon dioxide is a sham!
I have evidence but I'll go more into it later.
Please educate us
I will, give me a few days.
But most of it's based on 3-4 main things- carbon dioxide is only important if it reaches the upper mid troposphere, and once it does, increasing the thickness won't do anything since it's more about distribution than amount or thickness. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and clumps to the surface and even in the mid troposphere, there are areas with way higher thickness and they aren't really hotter at all. The whole idea is, infrared is reflected down, but it's reflected down near 100%, like a mirror; if you stacked 10 mirrors on top of each other, you aren't going to get 10 times the reflection.
Else it's effects are negligible. Also radiative losses are higher despite being 100% reflective due to the fact that some of it is lost as sensible and latent heat through convection and whatnot and the fact only about 50% of radiation that comes to the surface gets turned into infrared.
This proved by NASA and stuff etc.
