CO2 gas is purportedly the main cause of Global Warning, creating a “greenhouse” effect. The atmosphere has a natural supply of "greenhouse gases." They capture heat and keep the surface of the Earth warm enough for us to live on. Without the greenhouse effect, the planet would be an uninhabitable, frozen wasteland.Before the Industrial Revolution, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere was in a rough balance with what was absorbed in natural sinks. For example, plants take in CO2 when they grow in spring and summer, and release it back to the atmosphere when they decay and die in fall and winter.
The greenhouse effect is a process by which thermal radiation from a planetary surface is absorbed by atmospheric greenhouse gases, and is re-radiated in all directions. Since part of this re-radiation is back towards the surface, energy is transferred to the surface and the lower atmosphere. As a result, the average surface temperature is higher than it would be if direct heating by solar radiation were the only warming mechanism. Wikipedia
Global alarmist blame man solely for this problem. Since the Global alarm has been sounded, billions of dollars have been made selling Global Warming product to "Save the planet."
When billions of dollars are involved, it's usually a "fly in the ointment." Especially since the major outspoken Global Alarmist have been caught doing what would be considered Global damage.
One of the most outspoken people on Global Warming is Al Gore. He flies everywhere in his private jet, polluting the air several times more per person than if he had taken a commercial jet or drove. Gore also owns a mansion that consumes more electricity in one month than the average American consumes in an entire year. No solar panels, no solar water heater.
After Gore was exposed as a major contributor to Global Warming, he then decided to make his house more energy efficient. Why did it take an embarrassment, and public humiliation before Gore took notice? It’s because he and other Global Alarmists know that Global Warming is a farce. Therefore, it would be moot for him and his partners in crime to cramp their lifestyles, when their rhetoric scares the masses and forces them to acquiesce and conform via their pocketbooks.
Global Alarmists were discussing fudging the numbers to make Global warming sound more feasible via email. Many of their e-mail accounts were hacked.
