Oddbean new post about login | logout How come they have never explained how CO2 traps heat like a greenhouse when CO2 is more dense than the other gases in the atmosphere and tends to sit near the ground?
@610ed9cf Theoretically CO2 is indeed a greenhouse gas.On Mars where it is main part of atmosphere it indeed does some actual greenhousing.On Earth they just ignore known good science:NASA/MIT(you'd think those are trusted) EarthRadiationBallanceSatellite results 1985-99,published/peer reviewed in 2009(now you see what happens to undesirable science,pushed back 10yrs).By coincidence it covered period w most heating&CO2 rise but,energetic balance observed exactly opposite of grnhse definition
