Does Carbon Dioxide Cause Global Warming?

You’ve probably read that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases act like a blanket, trapping some of the heat that Earth might radiate out into space. That’s the simple answer. But how does a specific molecule trap heat??

The answer requires diving into physics and chemistry.? I have examined all the experiments showing how CO2 gas gets hot while air doesn't. I have read all the ideas that molecules vibrate, and CO2 molecules seem to vibrate more with infrared light and remit heat back to Earth.?

But none of that is convincing because it's based on inaccurate science. If CO2 blocks infrared radiation from escaping Earth, sunlight infrared light will also be blocked from entering. Scientists have spent much time and energy convincing people that CO2 is the cause of warming.?

Scientists examine the CO2 content in glacier ice and compare it to current air levels, which is suspiciously false data since CO2 is water-soluble and won't remain in ice.?

When sunlight reaches Earth, the surface electrons of objects absorb visible light frequencies. The electrons in molecules capture a specific frequency of light and emit photons with the frequency of the electron as visible light, which allows us to see objects. That's the physics of color and vision.

The heat in sunlight comes from the invisible infrared frequency, which we feel. Hold your hand over a dark object on a warm sunny day to feel the stored heat. At night, the heat transfers to the colder air, which rises into the atmosphere and is blocked by clouds, pollution, or dust, keeping the night air temperature warm.?

However, if the sky is clear, the air will dissipate into the atmosphere, and the night temperature will be cooler. Heat radiation is a low form of energy and does not react with atmospheric CO2 molecules, as greenhouse gas scientists suggest.?

Thus, solar-heated objects release thermal heat, and hot air rises in the atmosphere unless it is blocked by physical particles such as pollution, ice crystals, or clouds.?

However, Burning anything produces CO, CO2, and heat, which is thermal and infrared radiation. The infrared radiation is lost into space if the sky is clear because its frequency is too low to interact with atmospheric molecules.?

However, thermal heat in the hot exhaust gases remains in the lower atmosphere, but it doesn't have a greenhouse blanket effect as in the lab experiments.

What actually causes the Earth's temperature to rise? Does human activity warm the Earth?

Heat Causes Global Warming

?What can cause the Earth's temperature to increase??

• A greater amount of infrared radiation from the sun.
• Fewer trees and grassland with more paved roads and buildings capturing heat.
• Eight billion people eat and emit heat as infrared radiation and expel CO2 when breathing.
• The billions of cars, planes, and trains used for transportation emit heat regardless of the fuel used.
• People are burning coal and wood to cook and heat their homes.
• Wildfires, earthquakes, and volcanoes add heat and pollution to the atmosphere.
• The burning of coal in factories is a major cause of pollution.
• The Earth's core thermal energy is causing glaciers to melt from the bottom.
• Factories create heat using fuel to produce the products we need and use daily.

Global Warming is minimally caused by CO2 gas. The majority is caused by the heat we produce. Burning fossil fuels creates a lot of heat, but we blame the level of CO2 as the cause of warming.?

Measuring the level of CO2 from burning fuels is inaccurate because the heat comes from numerous sources. Burning fewer fossil fuels is okay, but what is the best option?

The Best Way to Deal with Global Warming

Coal and wood must be eliminated as industrial fuels to minimize atmospheric pollution. Governments must forbid coal mining and impose a high tax on its industrial use.?

Educate the population and encourage the use of electric vehicles. Fine people and farmers who create wildfires and clear-cut forests.?

Encourage research into fusion power, battery storage technology, and alternate energy sources like solar and nuclear power.?

Natural gas and engine fuels don't significantly affect global warming. Increasing the price of fossil fuels would be good if it led to more research. However, adding a carbon tax without a plan hurts the economy and causes inflation.?

Consider that carbon dioxide may not be the problem, we have been told. So, why do governments add a carbon tax to the cost of engine fuels? Your guess is as good as mine because it makes little sense.?
