And yet .04% is still only .04% and not 100%Yes. Do you not understand the reason that was done? If you want to do so something in the lab, you get to use scaling. You really don't have a choice. Your fundamental weakness on science shows here Frank.
Here is a useful 'factoid' from Quora. "If the 100 km of the mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere were all at the same density as at sea-level, the atmosphere would be 8 km thick. If the thermosphere and exosphere were added to that, it would be a few metres thicker." So the effective path through 0.04% CO2 atmosphere that an escaping ray of IR light in the real world has to pass is 8 km thick. The balloons are 65/75/85 cm in diameter and thus have path lengths half that. Let's say 40 cm. Thus the IR in the balloons have 1/20,000th of the length to pass through as would a ray in the actual atmosphere. 100% / 0.04% = 2,500. 2500 / 20,000 = 0.125. The pure CO2 balloons are thus only experiencing 1/8th the CO2 effect of passing through the real atmosphere.
The conclusion remains the same. NO effect could be discerned of increases in the path length through air. Clear effects were seen of increases in the path length through CO2. CO2 absorbs infrared and slows its release. Whine about the scaling all you want Frank but all it does is demonstrate your science ignorance and irrationality in the face of more evidence that your position is simply wrong.
The truer test of the Failed AGW theory would be air with .028% CO2 vs .04% CO2,
But it’s been clearly established that the Jihadist AGWCult avoids these tests of their failed Theory like Dracula greeting the morning sunrise in a field of garlic and sharpened stakes
