"Can’t forget water vapor. Molecule for molecule, it’s on par with CO2
as a greenhouse gas, but much more abundant, ranging from 0.2% at the poles to 4%
at the equator:"
In fact, CO2 is not warming anything because
(1) Earth is not emitting radiation at the frequency which CO2 absorbs, namely 15 microns.
(2) Therefore the amount CO2 in the atmosphere is irrelevant. In fact, during the Paleozoic,
Earth experienced an ice age for 40 million years at a 4,200 ppm CO2 level. And CO2 at
4,200 ppm did not prevent the ice age from happening.
(3) Given that our planet is roughly at 59°F then Earth is radiating unimpeded into space
at 10 microns.
(4) CO2 as a greenhouse gas is so irrelevant that IR Astronomy is alive and well on our planet.
(5) If anything is warming our planet, it is water vapor and the fact that Earth is over 70%
oceans! And thank God for the oceans - and the resulting water vapor - because it is these
oceans that are keeping our planet habitable!.
