   As reported by Slay News, much like a sponge, the Earth’s atmosphere can   
   only hold so much, meaning that carbon dioxide cannot increase   
   temperatures anymore since the saturation point was reached a long time   
   ago. The study uses a hypothetical concept of a fire inside a greenhouse   
   consistently emitting heat. The glass walls and ceiling can contain only   
   so much heat before emitting it outside. CO2 in the atmosphere is very   
   similar in that it can act as a “greenhouse” gas, but all the CO2   
   together can only contain so much heat, much like the hypothetical   
   greenhouse. The CO2 Coalition agrees with this conclusion as well. Thus,   
   amidst all the fearmongering around climate change—and the knowledge   
   that many things, including changes in solar activity heavily influence   
   Earth’s weather—Dr. Curry believes even if the Earth is warming, it is   
   not a dangerous thing, commenting:   
      
   “This whole issue of “dangerous” is the weakest part of the whole   
   argument. What is dangerous? Everybody has a different idea of what’s   
   good. The only harm from warming is rising sea levels. And that’s a slow   
   creep unless something catastrophic happens, say, to the West Antarctic   
   ice sheet. And if something catastrophic happens there, that’s as likely   
   to be associated with under-ice volcanoes as it is to be with global   
   warming.”
