If you thicken Earth's CO2 blanket, the planet gets warmer.
Variation: Add more blankets at night, and you overheat. Add more ...
In earth's past, CO2 rise lagged temperature, so CO2 can't possibly cause global warming? This is like saying "'I saw a chicken lay an eg ...
"Just as steroids make the baseball player stronger and increase his chances of hitting home runs, greenhouse gases are the steroids of the ...
Think of CO2 in the atmosphere as water in a bathtub. If you partly open the drain and run the tap at the same rate, the water level stays ...
For those who spend little time in greenhouses, perhaps we should call it "The Parked Car Effect." We all know what happens when you park ...
"How can a minuscule amount of CO2 cause global warming?" shout the sceptics! "Easily", is the response. Can't a bite from a tiny ins ...
The basic science of climate change is more than 150 years old. Back in 1859, Irish physicist John Tyndall predicted that winters would war ...
Slowing emissions of carbon dioxide is somewhat like slowing credit-card spending and expecting your debt to shrink.
Joseph Fourier (1768 — 1830), the 'Copernicus' of global warming.
Saying that CO2 is "only a trace gas" is like saying that arsenic is "only" a trace water contaminant.
Does the pre-historic lag between temperature and CO2 rise mean CO2 can't affect temperature? No. An auto turbocharger kicks in only afte ...
Climate change is like a train: it starts slowly, but it’s awfully hard to stop once it gains a bit of momentum.
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the air is like the water level in a bathtub. If water pours in faster than it drains out, the level ...
