The following is a simple lesson for deniers of anthropogenic global warming about the role of carbon in the air.
you will note it doesn't come from an anonymous poster on HC, rather a named expert in the field.
here's the quote from an article in The Conversation published June 17.
"When people burn carbon – whether it’s coal in a power plant or gasoline in a vehicle – it creates carbon dioxide (CO2).
"This invisible gas builds up in the atmosphere and traps the Sun’s warmth near the Earth’s surface.
"The result is what we mean by “climate change."
"Every bit of coal, oil or gas that ever gets burned adds a little bit more to the temperature.
"As temperatures rise, dangerously hot and humid weather has begun to spread to more places."
the words were written by Scott Denning, Professor of Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University.
Denning received his B.A. in Geological Sciences from the University of Maine in 1984, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Atmospheric Science from Colorado State University in 1993 and 1994.
london to a brick a moronic poster on HC who graduated from primary school will question the accuracy of this statement.
and that will be denial on the internet, in all its idiocy.
