If 0,0425%CO2=425ppmCO2 has to warm up 99,9575%=999575ppm ... CO2_Heat_Gain=999575/425=2352x ?

If then ...
To warm up by 1°C those 999575 atmospheric parts, almost a million parts, from 425 parts CO2, what is the CO2-temperature to start from ?
Greenhouse gasses are supposed to absorb low energy infra red long wave photons emitted at +15°C=288°K earth average surface temperature and send those photons back down to earth.
Can those low energy infra red long wave photons warm up a greenhouse gas molecule warmer than +15°C=288°K spreading the photonic energy of 425 CO2 molecules over the other 999575 atmospheric molecules ?
Is the climate greenhouse a self warming house emitting long wave photons up in the air that come back down like a boomerang ?
To get 1 boomerang coming back you need to throw 1 boomerang and the law of conservation of boomerangs says that 1 boomerang does not procreate to become 2 boomerangs ?
Is greenhouse global warming a violation of the law of conservation of energy ?
Global cooling is based on boomerangs that don't come back like photons that don't come back down to earth and escape to space.
But :
If O2 and N2 are also greenhouse gasses mainly responsible for the +33°C greenhouse effect, then 0,04% CO2 makes only 0,04% of the greenhouse effect of you neglect the water vapor.
Anyway
In climate science there are too many unanswered questions and too many unquestioned answers ...
But : Health & Climate & Energy are really very complicated and delicate politico-scientific stuff and also socio-economic stuff but we do the best we can and try to explain it as simple as possible but not simpler than that in the group :

4 个月I think above graphs clearly show that water(vapor) is by far the dominant factor. This is by the way completely in line with every day experience we all have. The earth cools best at nights with a clear sky.
Keep O2 and N2 in mind ! (cf. Raman Spectrography)
