If all of the IR energy emitted by the sun (in the CO2 absorbtion spectrum) is aborbed by the atmosphere before it reaches the Earth, and all of the IR energy emitted by the Earth (in the CO2 absorbtion spectrum) is absorbed by the atmosphere before it reaches space, then how could an increase in CO2 cause increased warming?

1) Is it true that hurricanes can form when the ocean currents are disrupted, when the warm and cold waters meet?

2)Will change in ocean currents result in the water in the Equator being warmer and the oceans at the poles colder?

HOUSE # 1: A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.

as yet we only have evidence that there is global warming but only political consensus that CO2 is the cause there are far more pressing problems like housing shortages caused by poor economic policies doesn't everyone think they may be being conned by politicians CO2 is great diversion

Hello:)

What data supports the idea that Global Warming is caused

by humans with big consequences for the environment??

Can you please give me detailed and convincing evidence?

P.s. Please don't write about that human is not the cause of global warming. I just want to know about my question.

Why then are we not going after the rising concentrations of these gases, and ONLY working to contain CO2?

In fact, I have not seen any data on the rises of these potent gases, far more potent than CO2, and the relation to "Global Warming" in the Consensus reporting. Or other Global Warming info either.

Were they present in the MWP?

And some mention rises in the CO, which again I have not seen listed as a "Greenhouse" gas nor data on its alleged rise in concentration, compared to the Global Temperature.

Finally, if the ejecta into the atmosphere of a nuclear war, the dust, would cool the earth, and that has been shown in major volcanic explosions, why would not the push recently to clean up smokestacks and other sources of particulate matter added to the atmosphere not be causing a vast warming effect as the short wavelengths of heat radiation can better reach the surface of the earth and be trapped?

Could it be our "problem" is not too much CO2, but too little dust in the air??
