CO2....we are talking about the CO2 molecule, nice try to change the subject and attempt to place emphasis on other aspects of the Earth's radiative heat balance...

But we talkin bout CO2.

Because the whole scenario is predicated on CO2 increases causing H2O increases in the stratosphere and increased temperatures over the equator. CO2 has become the god of climate change, the rallying cry, the "Carbon" pollution which is the bane of humankind. Today's big lie.

Since it is misrepresented as causing more than ~ 1 degree temperature rise per doubling ...that lie must be explained.

Your dissembling over 5 different points but failing to address this key issue tells everyone just what is going on.. You are selling the emperor a new set of clothes.

Since you are (professing ignorance) of the basic aspects of CO2 absorption of Infra Red you cannot discuss the matter reasonably..and you then need to learn about this interaction.

There are over 4000 resonances within the CO2 molecule as put forth by Hitrans. Most of them are minor in nature and have little effect due to their minor energy absorbing resonances. A few have quite a large effect and the effect is almost saturated. The molecule cannot absorb any more at those frequencies because the IR is totally absorbed. (95% of the CO2 molecules are in a non-excited state and available to absorb at the main resonant frequencies and other outlying frequencies but cannot because The IR is already absorbed)

We know that the Earth has warmed around 33 degrees (significantly) from a pure black body temperature in part due to CO2. Also in part to other molecules ....most notably water vapor.

The response curve is exponential. ie it absorbs energy fast at first and then levels off. We presently are in a period where the doubling is taking much longer than in the past. To increase absorption by CO2 quite a bit must be generated. This is because the molecules are at incorrect angles or at incorrect frequencies to interact with the IR as it leaves the Earth.

2.)Time and space have nothing to do with this absorption....Temperature and pressure do.

The HARD science has been done to calculate these interactions we know it has to be ~ 1.1 C per doubling.

To get higher absorption we have to get larger amounts of water vapor into the stratosphere and that additional vapor is theorized to enable a hot spot to occur thus warming the earth even more. A runaway positive feedback.

After all it is CO2 that has become the god of climate change and if it is misrepresented as absorbing more IR than it actually does then we have been told the big lie because water vapor is actually doing the forcing. But you do not hear about this because it is unproven theory.

Once you have gotten to the point that you know how much temperature change is caused by the CO2 molecule and are not misled by incorrect assertions you can actually examine the problem with the correct basic viewpoint. However unless the hard science is put forth first and you build on that basis, you are just pissing into the wind.

5.)Once you make a statement under oath you are held to it. An attorney will drive a dagger figuratively through your heart if he catches a discrepancy. Climate alarmists have made many. The misleading about the absorption characteristics of the CO2 molecule is 1. The hiding of the fact that water vapor increases are necessary is 2.

The non-formation of a hot spot in the troposphere above the equator is 3. Yet all these are postulated in Models to get the fantastic results of global warming claims that appear.

BTW what was the name of the stochiastic model Arrhenius used?
