What exactly makes CO2 such a molecule that it not only behaves exceptionally when it comes to contact with radiation in very small concentrations, and very exceptionally only with such radiation that has once bounced off Earth's surface? Nobody in any forum or my university can answer this. How the fuck is it possible that nobody has paid any attention that there is a massive field, entire industries spawning from it, and cornerstone is not there.

I too have very strong opinions about fields of science that I never studied, and probably don't have the time to ever study, nor the brainpower to do so.
I feel this way because of their association to certain kinds of people that I find quite distasteful, this being so due to the manner in which my all wise daddy, who is also may pastor, raised me.

Different molecules have different absorption spectrums. Solar irradiance is absorbed (ex. by the oceans) by Earth and re-emitted as thermal radiation, which can then be absorbed by CO2. Thats the basics, picture related.

Think about this: Venus is covered in thick reflective clouds, less sunlight reaches the surface than on Earth. So why is it's surface temperature 200°C and Earth's surface temperature 15°C?

That doesn't answer the question at all. I actually do know enough chemistry to understand that, and also that molecules can be ionized or break. Taking that into account greenhouse gas wavelength voodoo makes no sense at all, it's skipping the first step in proof.

In order to understand your question I need to understand what it is you know.

What do you know about absorption spectrums and electron promotion?
What do you know about electron orbitals?
What do you know about molecular bonds?

>> No.10527052

>>10527037
Molecules absorb energy either by increasing velocity or by increasing vibration. The structure of the molecule determines how it can vibrate. Each vibrational state corresponds to a certain amount of energy that is needed to reach that state. These amounts of energy in turn correspond to a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation.

Indeed. Has anyone even seen this so called (((C O 2))) molecule people talk about???? Look up any articles in the 50s and before and nobody ever mentioned this (((C O 2))) hoax until some hippies in the 70s (((discovered))) it right around the time they started selling (((global warming))). Its obvious (((CO2))) is a jewish/communist/sjw buzz word globalists invented to bring the white man down and is not even real.

The question that interests me more is:
Why should a total increase by 0.01 percent lead to these catastrophic changes?
I get we shouldn't pump the stuff out ad infinitum, but blaming all effects of climate change on this doesn't seem to make sense.
>inb4 It's because of positive feedback, more water will evaporate water which is also a greenhouse gas and all the methane in siberia and on the seafloor will get released and we're all gonna DIE!!!
Why hasn't this "runaway" effect not happened before (pic related)? Yes we need to take better care of earth, but there are more pressing matters (deforestation, plastic pollution, overfishing etc...) that are much more pressing.
Climate change activists have many characteristics of a religious cult if you ask me, complete with unquestionable dogma.

Huh? Going from 280 ppm to 412 ppm is not a 0.01% increase. Where are you getting your numbers?

>I get we shouldn't pump the stuff out ad infinitum, but blaming all effects of climate change on this doesn't seem to make sense.
Which effects are scientists blaming on it without justification?

>Why hasn't this "runaway" effect not happened before (pic related)?
What you described is not a runaway effect and has happened before.

> Yes we need to take better care of earth, but there are more pressing matters (deforestation, plastic pollution, overfishing etc...) that are much more pressing.
How are these much more pressing?

>Climate change activists have many characteristics of a religious cult if you ask me, complete with unquestionable dogma.
Question whatever you want, if you just ignore the answers then the only one operating on dogma is you.

So carbon dioxide looks like this O=C=O in a line. So unlike O2, those O's can bounce up and down like o/c\c to o\c/o. They can bounce up and down at about the frequency of infrared light. So you know how if you take a tuning fork and apply sound at the frequency the tuning fork vibrates at the tuning fork will start vibrating? Well the same thing happens with CO2 and IR radiation. Other molecules in which the atoms can vibrate with respect to each other also tend to absorb IR, like methane. BRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!

He gets the numbers by calculating the percentage of CO2 as part of the atmostphere and calculating the change in CO2 as a change vs all gasses.
i.e. it's more bullshit, pretty much the same standard fare you always get from lying science deniers
