if it increased then there would short term be a release of methane that would make the weather odd, but that sublimates pretty quickly

historically CO2 has been way higher and the propaganda is just about developing areas of the world where they don't have uh stuff and we have too much anyway

the real way CO2 works is that a small amount at higher altitudes mostly causes a feedback of higher water content that traps more heat

lots of people really don't understand science because people use the perception of it to appease a business and sociology agenda that sounds a lot more machievellian than it really is

just forceful if anything

basically the absorption limit is that more CO2 does not cause it to go higher up anymore and the clouds also don't change and we can seed those so the moisture falls back down to the earth

climate change is actually kind of positive because it will motivate people to develop poor areas and provide humanitarian basic services and also make some colder spots where unironically smarter people live arable not that there is a need for more food though

it's like they just want people to be mad so they'll complain about this instead of that and not bother anyone

like the modern form of listening to war of the worlds on the radio and then not realizing it's fictional nonfiction functional propaganda who cares but also the schools make no sense they only let peopel even go because it makes them feel better than kind of admitting they're functionally unfunctional slash autocratic in certain flashbangs of a prescient course correction of influences

but basically it's also money

Do ..... do you not understand the graph? Hell man, this is Climatology 201. I'm guessing you've never taken a Climatology class before, not even 101.

I remember when we plotted out all the planets expected temperature using nothing but their albedo, the inverse square law and distance from the sun using Steffan-Boltzmann. Venus's albedo is incredibly high. It reflects like, 80% of the incoming sunlight back into space and yet despite that it's the hottest planet in the solar system. This can only be explained by the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.

As far as OP is concerned, I need to know where you got that information, it's blatantly false and either a misprint or out of context in some way. We've known about CO2's affect on the climate since 1890.
>>
>>16151453
Of course it is. California relies 30% on renewables and they have to import electricity from other states because they shut down their coal and natural gas plants. This is part of the reason why electricity is so expensive there.
>>
>>16150877
Yes, ignore the insulating effect of the 50 miles-thick clouds that envelope the entire planet, or the fact that the surface air pressure is 90x denser than Earth's. It's all about the CO2 level.
I love it when death cultists expose their ignorance.

>I remember when we plotted out all the planets expected temperature using nothing but their albedo, the inverse square law and distance from the sun
And you concluded that the ONLY factor that could explain deviation from your expected results was CO2 % in the atmosphere?
Not the density of the atmosphere or the effect of clouds / vapour / weather?
Picrel is the estimated forcings on terrestrial climate of CO2, water vapour, and clouds. Why should the 50 mile thick clouds which permanently cover Venus be any less of a forcing factor on the Venusian greenhouse effect than terrestrial clouds are on Earth?

Absorption and emission happens in different bands. It's easy to find energy budget articles for each planet and some moons far more specific that that pic kek...
>Analysis of the radiative budget of the Venusian atmosphere based on infrared Net Exchange Rate formalism

Btw, clouds of Venus are high enough to be like a shell completely isolated for most bands from the surface, greenhouse effect of the lower atmosphere is the main factor limiting the energy transmitted to the clouds. Venus heat loss is limited to very long wave infrared (direct loss) and IR windows that heat the high altitude clouds. The lower atmosphere is 99.9% opaque to IR even if there's no water vapor vs ~80% of Earth...
>>
>>16151932
>In our solar system, Venus is the only terrestrial body with a thick atmosphere. Venus has a strong greenhouse effect, and the measurements of radiation budget can help us better determine the efficiency of the greenhouse mechanism. The observations and studies of Venus’ radiation budget are very limited. We do not know how well the absorbed solar energy is balanced by the emitted thermal energy on Venus. The spatial and temporal variations of Venus’ radiation budget have not been measured either. Considering the very thick atmosphere on Venus (Venus’ surface atmospheric pressure is about 90 times that of Earth) and its highly reflective clouds, we expect that Venus has a unique radiation budget among the terrestrial planets in our solar system.

>>16152137
Now distinct it from gas pressure, which is - as you know base physics i hope- the main factor.

Mars has massive amounts of CO2 in it's atmosphere and Mars' measured temperature T is virtually the same as it's calculated equilibrium temperature T' so there is no possible way that CO2 is a powerful greenhouse gas.

>>16154304
> there is no possible way that CO2 is a powerful greenhouse gas.
Yes and no.
Other gases transparent to LWIR matters too, a denser atmosphere is better equalizing temperatures (compare max-min temp of the Moon with Earth and average temperature of ~250K vs ~290K), which means that places warmed by the Sun are colder than their black body temperature, those places 'heats' the rest of the planet through convection. That matters because heat loss by radiation increases by T^4 so removing the "hot spots" also contributes to higher -average- temperature too.


The feedback CO2 -> water and dissolved gases are the main problem to predict the total greenhouse effect of Earth and those are related to global temperature, that's why the CO2 is problematic (and easy to use as fearmonger buzzword): positive feedback.
The question of GH effect is about an Earth with 400 ppm of CO2 vs Earth with 800 or 1000 ppm (arbitrary figures iirc they could be higher), not only because the atmospheric CO2 by its own but because of the feedback too.
Water vapor is the main greenhouse gas of Earth and CO2 dissolved in oceans is ~50 times more than the atmospheric CO2. A lot of IFs that matters because current society works with very little margin (agriculture) and people tends to dislike the idea of climate inducing wars as in the past. Climate change wouldn't cause a complete extinction but can fuck up the convenient current state.

The example of Venus is a simple Reductio ad absurdum for the claim that "2500 Pa of CO2 is the limit for the GH effect of CO2". Venus surface is so isolated that you can model it as 2 separated bodies: a gas shell (clouds) + Venus and its dense atmosphere.
>>
>>16151231
>Mars: over 30x more CO2 than Earth and a total greenhouse effect of 0.2ºC
so that means the greenhouse effect due to CO2 on Earth is 0.007ºC
AKA completely insignificant
>>
>>16155199
>30
?
P(CO2) for Earth is ~40 Pa, ~600 Pa for Mars


>and a total greenhouse effect of 0.2ºC
>CO2 on Earth is 0.007ºC
May I see the source for those claims?

For comparison Moon (avg) surface temperature is ~250K vs 288K of Earth...
>>
>>16155364
If you want to compare atmospheric pressure differences between two planets as a means of comparing the masses of their atmospheres you have to account for the gravity differences between the two planets, which you ignored
>>
>>16155376
Yeah, my bad, it's ~30 times more mass of CO2 per area. Now, what about:
>and a total greenhouse effect of 0.2ºC
>CO2 on Earth is 0.007ºC

?
>>
>>16155199
So Earth would need to have 30x the current amount of atmospheric CO2, about 12,000ppm CO2, to see the same magnitude of greenhouse effect due to CO2 as on Mars - and Mars' greenhouse effect due to CO2 is only worth 0.2ºC.

You can tease out the fact that the greenhouse effect on Earth is over 99% due to water vapor by comparing interday temperature and humidity measurements from arid and humid locations. If CO2 was legitimately a significant greenhouse gas then people would have long since noticed that regions surrounding natural CO2 sources were substantially warmer than other locations. Volcanic mountains wouldn't have snow at the top like other mountains do if the massive amounts of CO2 they belch was preventing heat from escaping their region. As it turns out snow sticks around on top of volcanoes just as well as with any other mountain
