keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	It doesn't matter what you call CO2 (pollutant or non pollutant). Also, i was talking about anthropogenic CO2 which is clearly (no pun intended) increasing the total CO2 in the atmosphere. Some on this website say that CO2 doesn't hold in heat. I don't understand how they dispute that fact.

I've only had 2 years of chemistry, one in high school, the other in college, both more than 30 years ago. I just don't recall there being more than one kind of CO2. I don't remember an special planet-killing properties being mentioned either. Maybe the teachers didn't lean far enough to left... Energy is energy, it just gets used and passed, neither created or destroyed. With, or without CO2, the same things will happen, or not. It's only 0.04% of the atmosphere, whole lot of other molecules to use that energy, if CO2 isn't there. Doesn't really matter what CO2 is doing with the energy it uses, since it's just a tiny part of the whole system.

keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	Anthropogenic CO2 refers to the source of the CO2, not the type of CO2. Increased CO2 in the atmosphere isn't going to kill the planet, it is just going to make the temp go up, ice melt, and sea level rise. What happens depends on how soon the CO2 level rises. The more anthropogenic CO2 we produce, the sooner the CO2 level goes up, the sooner the devastation begins.

Also, i was talking about anthropogenic CO2 which is clearly (no pun intended) increasing the total CO2 in the atmosphere. Do you know how it is measured? Where it is measured? How many measuring stations around the world? Is CO2 evenly distributed in the atmosphere? What about concentrations with height? Is there ANY way to accurately measure global atmospheric CO2? Some on this website say that CO2 doesn't hold in heat. It doesn't...nothing holds heat. I don't understand how they dispute that fact. Maybe I can simplify this and boil it down to nearly nothing. If you still dispute, ask away. These guys will help. Temperatures are always trying to reach equilibrium. Heat is the flow of thermal energy, not temperature. Heat always flows from hot to cold. Sun heats the Earths surface. Heat from the warmer surface flows to the cooler atmosphere. (we've just COOLED the surface using CO2!) From the atmosphere, it can't go back to the surface because the surface is equal or warmer in temperature. It must radiate to something cooler or out to space. Now, where is it that you disagree with the sequence of events? Radiation will not penetrate a perfect insulator, thus as I said space is not a perfect insulator.- Swan Edited on 04-06-2019 03:01

keepit ★★★★★ (3058)	There is so much i disagree with what you say. I guess the key thing is where you say CO2 doesn't hold in heat. I'm pretty sure it slows the dissipation of heat into outer space. That's what i mean when i say "holds in heat". That slowing principle combined with the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere (you don't have to measure CO2 if you know it is being produced anthropogenically) results in a temperature rise, etc. Edited on 04-06-2019 03:10

You fear anything that requires learning, don't you? Here's some science for you ... no substance traps heat. That's worth repeating. No substance traps heat. But wait! You were told otherwise by your loser Marxist friends, right? You were taught that CO2 traps heat and that it is able to violate physics in all sorts of wondrous ways, right? ... except that they don't use the words "violations of physics" ... they tell you to say "forcings" and "feedbacks" and other meaningless words instead. You were taught that CO2 is a "greenhouse gas" that is itself able to increase the earth's average global temperature, nevermind that that is an egregious violation of thermodynamics, right? In fact, you don't care that your Marxist friends require you to believe in violations of physics because it's your religion and the mystical magical beauty of your religion is far more important than any science, right? Why do you believe that CO2 somehow traps heat? Because you were told to believe it? Do you even know what "heat" is? (The answer is "no" right?) Have you learned the Stefan-Boltzmann law yet? (The answer is "no" right?) Stefan-Boltzmann is the closest thing you are going to get to "settled science" and it explains why no substance "traps heat." Thermal energy pours freely out of all substances based on temperature ... proportionally to the substance's temperature raised to the fourth power. For all substances. No substance has any ability to either trap thermal energy or to stop heat. I just wasted my time explaining that to you, didn't I? Your Marxist friends made you vow to reject science in all its forms, didn't they? Yeah, I thought as much. I don't think i can [define it].

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5196)	It still keeps going around to 'stop spending', yet I don't see any way for most people to stop spending in any significant way. We need Oxygen, water, and food to stay alive, no avoiding it. We can't go more than a few minutes without breathing, a few days without water, few weeks without food. Oxygen and water are plentiful, natural, not much trouble getting these. Food can be a problem though. It is possible to go weeks without eating, but it's not healthy, nor is it possible to be very active. Can't get by on one meal a month. Need to eat something daily. We use to be able to go out and hunt and forage for our food, but now a days there would be to much competition to have everyone stop shopping, and go out in the wild to do that. It would also be highly seasonal. In order to buy food, we need money. In order to have money, we need to work. Working is selling labor, goods or services, in exchange for money. The greater diversity of jobs, ensure that there are goods and services, somebody is will to pay money for, so there is a job, where others can earn money. CO2 is critical in food production. Plants are the base food for every living thing on the planet. Even carnivores depend on plants, since they feed on herbivores. 400 ppm isn't ideal for plant growth, they just do okay, if they get everything else they need, but are kind of sensitive, die easy, poor yield during periods when those needs aren't met regularly. More CO2, and plants grow faster, stronger, and yield more. They are more resistant to adverse conditions, that cause them to shut down, or die. Means longer growing seasons. How do you figure people are going to get food daily, if everyone reduces their spending? If people reduce there spending to there bare essentials, few people are going to have money to by them. We all can't sell the same goods and services. If you want customers, you have to offer something that other people don't have to sell. We need many stores, because there are only so many customers they can supply goods to, before they run out. Same with health care, doctors can only see so many patients in a day. Free heath care tends to fill their day with people, who don't really need their services, and could have taken care of their problem at home, or wait a few days, and the problem would have fix it self. You either don't have enough money, and live on a tight budget, or you've never had to work, and earn your money, since you don't seem to understand economics.
