Global Warming is caused by CO2. The current level of CO2 means that certain wavelengths of infrared radiation emitted from the earths surface are absorbed and scattered in all directions when re emitted at wavelengths which are not reabsorbed. Some of this infrared heat therefore returns to the earth warming it up, instead of being emitted to space.
That's what the experts tell us.
CO2 is a trace gas constituting only around 400 parts per million yet it is at a sufficient level to absorb ALL IR radiation at the given wavelengths within 25 meters of the ground. If we halve the CO2 level it will still all be absorbed within 50 meters. So how can a reduction in CO2 ever prevent this "cause" of GW? If we reduce the CO2 to a thousandth of the current level then the atmosphere will still be opaque at the same wavelengths so reducing CO2 can never achieve anything.
Explain. Be the first to fathom this. Disprove the cyclical warming we are experiencing before the next ice age.
