CO2 has already maxed out

Don't tread on me. Be kind to our president.

Imagine you want to block light from a lamp bulb. Wrap it one time and the light gets less. Keep taping the bulb and you will rather fast gain nothing by adding tape. The light will be blocked and adding more does nothing. This is how CO2 functions. When we hit 400 ppm, a mere less than 1 percent, adding more does nothing at all. Watch the video for the explanation in more detail.

 
The bulb will get hotter and hotter and will probably burn out. (and burn your house down?)

The sun isn't going to burn out because of the increased CO2 but the earth will experience the effects.

Judith Curry, America's foremost denialist has changed her mind about denying. Who can we turn to as a better authority?

3 Physicists Use Experimental Evidence To Show CO2’s Capacity To Absorb Radiation Has Saturated

By Kenneth Richard on 23. April 2024

Excerpt:

Adding CO2 to the atmosphere can have no significant climatic effect when rising above the threshold of about 300 ppm. Due to saturation, higher and higher concentrations do not lead to any further absorption of radiation.

If one were to paint a white surface black so as to allow it to absorb as much heat as possible, it is well known the first layer of paint has the most dominant impact on heat absorption. A second coat covers up any remaining grayish color and perhaps a few spots missed on the first layer. By the third layer, there is effectively no more heat absorption that can be attained with the additional coat, as the surface is saturated in black. It cannot become blacker.

Another Climate Sensitivity Study Finds Doubling CO2 Leads To 0.5°C Warming At Most

By Kenneth Richard on 20. December 2024

Excerpt:

The evidence that rising CO2 concentrations lead to inconsequential warming keeps piling up.
In a new study, seven Viennese researchers provide more evidence the CO2 absorption band is already saturated at today’s concentrations (over 400 ppm). Rising CO2 levels thus cannot drive significant global warming.

Excerpt:

Abstract: Using the CERES satellite data, it is shown that over the last ~ quarter century, the increase in greenhouse gases has had no detectable effect on the global average surface temperature. On the contrary, the overall increase in available solar energy after albedo reflections is shown to be sufficient to explain the warming. In support of this, variations in available solar energy are shown to agree quite well with the variations in the observed temperature. Go figure.

I got to thinking again about how to measure the efficiency of the very poorly-named “greenhouse effect”, which has absolutely nothing to do with actual greenhouses like the one shown above. Here’s an overview of some of the major energy flows of the climate system.

Just follow the money, it's a lucrative venture.

What a bizarre lie

Kids, don't be youtube educated idiots
 
This is why "global warming" is yesterday's news. I wonder how long the "climate change" travesty will last.
 
America's chief climate change denialist says:

It’s warming. The warming is caused by us. Warming is dangerous. We need to urgently transition to renewable energy to stop the warming. Once we do that, sea-level rise will stop and the weather won’t be so extreme.

What can our USMB experts add or deduct from that?

The below is by the renewal industry lobby.

More dumb fuckery from dumb *****. Really, if this were true, why are we still rapidly warming? Here is a graph that shows what a lie this nonsense it;

Here is some GW hawks standing on ice with noose around necks. lol!

Old Rocks, in a month will come out with some obscure link that
will state the summer of 2025 was the hottest on record.
You heard it here first folks.

CO2 is not even the driving force of warming.
The Sun goes through cycles, and has for billions of years.
Wrong!

Just because all the other planets in the solar system have also warmed up does not mean the sun has anything to do with it.

Hell no, it's the damned SUV's MAGA types drive on those planets is what is causing it, that and the Martian cows.

On the other hand the increased CO2 is ushering in an unparalleled greening that hasn't been seen for several hundred thousand years! The green plants of the Earth are rejoicing and in return are super generating oxygen from processed CO2! This means increased biological activity and increased crop production!
