How CO2 Effects The Atmosphere

Simplified analogy --- The common analogy, pushed mostly by the drive by media, is CO2 will go up and up and up and temperature will go up and up and up. This simply is not true. It's complicated, but the science says it cannot do this. So what is the proper analogy for atmospheric CO2 vs temperature?

You can look at the effects of CO2 on temperature like so -- The common analogy is painting over window glass. The first layers of paint cut out lots of light but subsequent layers have diminishing impact.

Simple handy analogy, you don't need to know anything about absorption spectra and other things scientific. Tell your friends ...

So, you might be asking, why the panic? Why does Al Gore talk about temperatures spiraling out of control, causing mass extinctions and catastrophic rises in sea-level, and all his other disastrous outcomes when there is no evidence to support it? Why indeed -- Because Al Gore makes lots of money doing it.

Roy Spencer, the official EIB climatologist, has more detailed science here. The Aqua satellite was launched in 2002 and one of it's main objectives was to prove or disprove the Iris Effect. It now appears that Dr Roy Spencer has found a new climate mechanism ... There is a mechanism at work that "washes out" the water vapour and returns it to the oceans along with the extra CO2 and thus turns the added water vapour into a NEGATIVE feedback mechanism. Spencer's newly discovered mechanism is a combination of clouds and rain which adds to the mechanism earlier identified by Professor Richard Lindzen called the Iris effect.
