Dear Sylas,
Thank you so much for your detailed reply. I didn't mean to put you to so much trouble.
I am aware of the wealth of spectoscopic data on the absorption of infrared by CO2. The HITRAN database is the key reference for that. Yes, absorption of infrared by CO2 definitely will...
OK, I'll settle for total amount. The change in CO2 concentration being talked about is from 280ppm to 380ppm, a difference of 100ppm.
If you take 1 square meter of Earth's surface and a column of air 1km high, a 100ppm of CO2 would be a 10cm slab at the bottom. Stick such an amount of CO2 in...
Thank you sylas.
I went to the link you provided (Can you model CO2 as a greenhouse gas) and the person who tried the experiment says:
"The problem I'm having is that I haven't been able to obtain the anticipated results in any reliable way. In fact, I'm seeing no consistent variation in...
There is so much emphasis on carbon dioxide as the anthropogenic agent of climate change that I thought it would be easy to find the empirical evidence. That is, the results of controlled experiments in which infrared rays at frequencies radiated by the Earth are beamed though columns of air...
