What Could Persuade Me to Be a Climate Alarmist?
Evidence or fake evidence? Sorry, physics prevents atmospheric CO2 from warming the Earth’s surface any more than a hot air balloon that takes off can land again without letting the hot air out, either quickly or slowly.
Hot air rises via convection, taking the heat toward space. A lot of it is wasted on the way as it encounters the decreasing temperatures created by the lapse rate, but it never comes back to the surface. CO2 can’t change that, since it’s thoroughly mixed with the non-CO2 and can’t unmix because of entropy of mixing.
TL Winslow’s answer to Doesn’t more CO
CO2 can’t and doesn’t “pile heat” and “warm the atmosphere”. The Earth’s atmosphere has never been a greenhouse no matter how much CO2 it has, because it has no roof. Heat up in the sky can never come down to where we live any more than a hot air balloon.
Instead the Earth’s atmosphere is a giant chimney, venting all the heat deposited daily by the Sun harmlessly to space, much like bubbles keep rising in an aquarium, or a rock rolled off a mountaintop keeps rolling and never comes back. The trace amount of CO2 (0.04{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117}) just helps this cooling process, and never does diddly to warm the Earth’s surface.
Even if atmospheric CO2 concentrations were 10 times what they are now, it still won’t do diddly to warm the Earth’s surface, but maybe just cool it faster. Indeed, the Earth’s vegetation requires CO2 to perform photosynthesis, and thrives more the higher the level gets.
TL Winslow’s answer to Doesn’t more CO2 in the atmosphere mean plants will grow better?
This simple physics and botany should be common knowledge, but because of a giant global conspiracy millions have been brainwashed to believe in a hoax that turns the scientific laws upside-down. Why?
Because they are out to ‘get’ Big Oil and shut it down along with all of capitalism in order to foist a new world order based on a Marxist one world government, and they’re what stand in their way.

Good concise article.
They also want to monetize co2.

You’ve hit the nail on the fake-science head there Mr Winslow.
