Atmospheric CO2 does NOT create linear warming. We know that from basic principles and physics. It's a logarithmic effect. You always need MORE CO2 to get the previous temperature effect. So it effectively limits the warming power as concentrations grow.
But as for your PROOF --- nobody can recreate a planetary atmosphere in the lab.. But HERE is PRODUCT you can buy that uses CO2 in a heat pump to warm your water..
You think a heat pump using CO2 as a working fluid is some sort of analog to greenhouse warming? Those heat exchangers, are they radiative? Why, NO. Global warming is a continuous process. The CO2 is a middleman. It's heat capacity is irrelevant in the continuous process.
MANY different types of CO2 compressors on the market. Very GREEN actually since they replace Chloro-Fluoro alternatives to refrigerants..
I'm sure any of these companies can give you thermal efficiency charts as a function of CO2 concentration.
I'm sure they can't. Do you think they start out with air in their system and then jack up the CO2 to 5% and check the efficiency? Don't be stupid. They're running 100% CO2 and have ever since they came up with the idea of subbing it for freon.
There are BASIC table look-ups and properties that TELL US exactly how CO2 behaves. There really isn't a mystery to it.
Let's hope everyone is reading.
OUR GAP --- is how it contributes to Earth's Climate --- and you're NOT gonna get a working model of that on YouTube..
The complication isn't how CO2 contributes. And it isn't really how the Greenhouse Effect itself works. It all behaves in the atmosphere exactly as it behaves in the lab. The question is: what is the climate going to do with the extra energy the Greenhouse Effect is putting into it.
