WHY CARBON DIOXIDE CAN’T CAUSE WARMING IN THE ATMOSPHERE! BY PROFESSOR EMERITUS OF GEOLOGY AT WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY.
A take on why carbon dioxide can’t cause warming in the atmosphere, by D.J. Easterbrook, Professor Emeritus of Geology at Western Washington University.
“Evidence-Based Climate Science (Second Edition),” 2016:
ABSTRACT
A greenhouse gas is a gas that absorbs and emits infrared radiation.
The primary greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is a nontoxic, colorless, odorless gas.
Water vapor accounts for by far the largest greenhouse effect (90–85%) because water vapor emits and absorbs infrared radiation at many more wavelengths than any of the other greenhouse gases, and there is much more water vapor in the atmosphere than any of the other greenhouse gases.
CO2 makes up only a tiny portion of the atmosphere (0.040%) and constitutes only 3.6% of the greenhouse effect.
The atmospheric content of CO2 has increased only 0.008% since emissions began to soar after 1945.
Such a tiny increment of increase in CO2 cannot cause the 10 °F = about 4 °C increase in temperature predicted by CO2 advocates.
Computer climate modelers build into their models a high water vapor component, which they claim is due to increased atmospheric water vapor caused by very small warming from CO2, and since water vapor makes up 90–95% of the greenhouse effect, they claim the result will be warming.
The problem is that atmospheric water vapor has actually declined since 1948, not increased as demanded by climate models.
If CO2 causes global warming, then CO2 should always precede warming when the Earth’s climate warms up after an ice age.
However, in all cases, CO2 lags warming by ~800 years.
Shorter time spans show the same thing–warming always precedes an increase in CO2 and therefore it cannot be the cause of the warming.
Simply put, the IPCC have it wrong, yet they are prideful, insecure, in denial, defensive, and refuse to be vulnerable.
On top of that, and as with most political organizations, money and agendas have corrupted them to the core.
Reject the UNITED NATIONS’s scaremongering, anti-scientific conclusions.
Accept the Sun holds all the keys to Earth’s climate.
And acknowledge the next solar-driven cooling cycle has already begun.
The Sun has just entered it’s next cyclical shutdown.
The next 400-or-so year Grand Solar Minimum cycle (the “Eddy” Minimum) is upon us.
