Go back and read the book by Michael Crichton "State of Fear", a readable novel debunking Climate Change from 2014. Still valid today.


CO2 is not warming anything because the Earth is not emitting heat energy at the frequency that CO2 absorbs - about 18 microns.
I think globohomo is harping on CO2 so that plant growth can be starved and thereby kill off 90% of the population.
"Besides, "18 microns" is a wavelength, not a frequency."
"If the Earth is retaining the heat that CO2 absorbs, wouldn't that mean the planet is warming?"

"Besides, "18 microns" is a wavelength, not a frequency."
Frequency and wavelength are related - They have an inverse relationship.

No. CO2 does not absorb any heat and therefore the Earth is not retaining any heat. Given that
the Earth Temperature is about 59°F then the Earth is radiating unimpeded into space at 10 microns.
PROOF: During the Paleozoic, Earth experienced an Ice Age for 40 million years at a CO2
level of 4,200 ppm. And that high amount of CO2 did not prevent the Ice Age from happening.
Therefore CO2 is not warming anything.
