re: #137 Obdicut

Let’s see if the troll can handle simple questions.

Does CO2 trap heat in atmosphere?

Has mankind been putting huge amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere?

Here I am just trying to enjoy the Oscars (nice acrobatics just now), and I end up in the midst of an Inquisition. But I’ll play.

Questions are too easy, Obdicut.
1. Historical data record show CO2 levels lag temperature levels, which makes it difficult to say CO2 causes temperature rise based on historical precendent. CO2 can trap heat in the atmosphere, but the big unknown in the equation is the cloud factor - exactly what part do clouds play in the regulating temperature, and what is the relationship between cloud formation and sun activity.
2. Yup.
Now, let’s watch the Oscars.
