Jeffrey Shaw   90 #2883 Posted January 9, 2013 I do not 'disbelieve' that CO2 is a gas, although it's little to do with greenhouses.  However, no-one can conclusively show a direct and unchallengeable causal link between CO2 emissions and the supposed global warming espoused as a new religion by many who should know better.

The more CO2 the more heat is trapped.  You might find usefull too. Edited January 9, 2013 by maxmaximus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Total Chaos   10 #2885 Posted January 9, 2013 Carbon pollution is the main reason our planet is getting hotter, increasing the chances of weather disasters, drought and flood and hurting our health. There are solutions. For starters, we can cut carbon pollution by reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and increasing our use of clean, renewable energy.  Do you work for the government?are you part of the NEW World Order?

The more CO2 the more heat is trapped. You might find usefull too.  Old hat?,  Back in November, the NOAA published a simple science experiment on their website for teachers to use. The experiment was made to simply demonstrate how CO2 can retain heat. The experiment was deeply flawed and was later removed from their website, but not before the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) got ahold of it.  In a live event on television in the UK, the BBC recreated the experiment on December 17th, in the midst of the "Climategate" scandal that was also centered in England (specifically the University of East Anglia). The experiment was done before a live audience, who sat idly by and asked no questions.  http://www.examiner.com/article/lccc-professor-debunks-bbc-global-warming-experiment.

Guest sibon   #2888 Posted January 9, 2013 I do not 'disbelieve' that CO2 is a gas, . .  Maybe you should disbelieve that.  Or brush up on your Science a bit.  Old hat?, Back in November, the NOAA published a simple science experiment on their website for teachers to use.

Good job too, we'd be pretty chilly without it.  As max says up there ^^^ it is pretty straightforward to verify this fact. Pop up to see me. I'll show you with some pretty basic equpment.  ---------- Post added 09-01-2013 at 22:30 ----------  Do you work for the government?are you part of the NEW World Order?  No. She works for tyre changers.  There's never a mod around when you need to get rid of a spammer:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

aliceBB   10 #2892 Posted January 10, 2013 I do not 'disbelieve' that CO2 is a gas, although it's little to do with greenhouses.  You're talking nonsense.  People who are so ignorant about science that they do not understand the term the 'greenhouse effect' (an easily demonstrable phenomenon) and the related term 'greenhouse gases' should probably not try to debate this issue as they just end up looking foolish.  Your aversion to the idea that the Earth's climate is being changed by mankind is linked no doubt to your belief that the planet is only a few thousand years old.
