      [continued from previous message]              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.”              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
