There is a very simple experiment to show that human industry is affecting the climate. Take two glass boxes. Fill one with air. Fill the next with air and add carbon dioxide in any amount. Put them outside next to each other in the sun. The one with additional carbon dioxide will get hotter in proportion to the amount of carbon dioxide added.

The one with additional carbon dioxide will get hotter in proportion to the amount of carbon dioxide added. Any amount? How does this play out with a CO2 concentration of 0.04%?
- ipnon 3y agoYes any amount. It is a simple chemical property of carbon dioxide that it absorbs more sunlight than air does on average. That heat becomes a part of our climate.
- johnchristopher 3y ago> Any amount? How does this play out with a CO2 concentration of 0.04%? It spreads out, like colorants in water. Think about mercury: > For example, if Isabella weighs 132 pounds (60 kg), she should consume a maximum of 95.8 µg of mercury per week. 95.8ug is just .0000001596..% of Isabella and yet it's deadly.
- traveler01 3y agoAgain this what I meant by we being too cooky. You're speaking about taking a water bottle, fill it with CO2 and use it to represent the entire planet.
- johnchristopher 3y agoThen go read the fucking reports https://www.ipcc.ch/reports/ https://www.ipcc.ch/reports/ https://report.ipcc.ch/ar6syr/pdf/IPCC_AR6_SYR_LongerReport.pdf https://report.ipcc.ch/ar6syr/pdf/IPCC_AR6_SYR_LongerReport.... you can get all the numbers and studies for free on the internet. If you can't be convinced by simple explanations and if you can't be convinced by harder explanations then you are just spreading doubts and part of the problem. edit: "what if we are wrong" fuck that shit, it's the same shit from the crowd of "but what if we develop interstellar travels and escape climate change consequences, haha gotcha" or "we'll just invent a carbon extractor in the next 10 years for the whole planet et voilà, ah!".
- traveler01 3y agoIf you can't have an argument without becoming toxic, please abstain from commenting. We're discussing here and I literally put a disclaimer in the beginning of the comment saying I'm not pro fossil fuels usage.
- silverquiet 3y agoWhat if he put a disclaimer in that he's not being toxic? Could he then continue commenting?
- traveler01 3y agoSo you want me to shut up just because I'm questioning common knowledge without being toxic to anyone?
- ryneandal 3y agoYou aren't questioning common knowledge. You're not even bothering with the evidence that provide answers to your questions. You are simply arguing for argument's sake.
- silverquiet 3y agoI asked a question, I did not tell you to shut up.
- KineticLensman 3y agoThe experiment demonstrates a correlation between carbon dioxide and heating of air. Physics explains the reputable and causative mechanism behind the heating. This is the basis for estimating the heating effects at planetary scale of the amount of carbon dioxide (and other gases such as methane) released by humanity.
- traveler01 3y agoYes, I know that, what I'm questioning is the quantity of CO2 necessary to achieve that in earth atmosphere. Let alone be enough to cause it to overheat at this extent. Again, just questioning it not saying what's wrong or right here.
