Everyone else?

Also explain how absurd the reasoning is so that we can all have another laugh at your "logic".

All gases have the ability to absorb, retain, and release heat.
This ability varies depending on the gas, and is known as a property of that gas.
The heat capacitance of CO2 is relatively large (relative to other gases).
The atmosphere is a mixture of different gases - each of which has its own Specific Heat Capacitance.
As such, all the gases in the atmosphere contribute to "the greenhouse effect" - some more so than others.
It follows that the quantity of a particular gas (percentage wise) is significant.
Since the percentage of CO2 is very low, it goes without saying that it's contribution to the overall greenhouse effect of the atmosphere is very small - it's so small that it can be considered as being negligible.

I hope this has helped you to understand.

The percentage of CO2 in our atmosphere is only about 0.03%
It does not take a genius to figure out that it's contribution to the "greenhouse effect" is minimal - even negligible.

Instead of smoking crack, try take 0.0000003% of your body-weight worth of LSD and snap out of your delusions.

Problem is as with most conspiracy nonsense there is a morsel of truth, which makes them latch on to it.

As the sun burns through its fuel, it is indeed getting hotter and will have an effect on the temperature of the planet, but we are talking about a process of 100's of millions / billions of years, not 100.

Secondly, if the sun was the cause of planetary warming, we should be seeing the same rate of warming on ALL the planets and objects in the solar system. This is not the case. Even the moon is not warming at the same rate as the earth is.

I asked him to have a look at Mercury and Venus for comparison. Space was also supposed to be "hotter" according to his hypothesis.

Great. You found a mechanical engineer who is also climate change denialist.

That's like a mechanical engineer who believes Stephen Hawking's black hole equations are wrong.


Scientists who actually studied Climatology share a different view.



Scientific consensus on causation: Academic studies of scientific agreement on human-caused global warming among climate experts (2010–2015) reflect that the level of consensus correlates with expertise in climate science.[1] A 2019 study found scientific consensus to be at 100%,[2] and a 2021 study concluded that consensus exceeded 99%.[3] Another 2021 study found that 98.7% of climate experts indicated that the Earth is getting warmer mostly because of human activity.[4]

Consensus is not Science.

You wouldn't know what science is if it slapped your in the face.

You are exposing yourself as someone that revert to personal attacks when they start to lose the argument.
Like I said - grow up.
Your childish behavior/responses are not arguments.

His statement is 100% factual though, you have clearly demonstarted time and time again on this forum that you are absolutely unable to grasp basic things about science, and then you peacock around claiming you've won, when all you've done is display you ignorance.
