CO2 retains heat, period. NOTHING you can say or do will change that simple fact.
What doesn't retain heat? Does oxygen and nitrogen retain heat too? Hmmm, should we do away with these too? Where did you get that info from anyways?
"Plants require carbon dioxide to conduct
photosynthesis, and greenhouses may enrich their atmospheres with additional CO2 to boost plant growth,
since its low present-day atmosphere concentration is just above the "suffocation" level for green plants. A
photosynthesis-related drop in carbon dioxide concentration in a greenhouse compartment can kill green plants. "
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co2
Hmmmmm, its present-day concentration percent is just above "suffocation" level for green plant.... Interesting, its roughly ~350ppm... What do you propose the recommended level should be?
So now "we" know that CO2 is a heat sync, so whats gonna happen when 300 million americans start up their car every day, not mention 1 billion chinese. Added to the fact that we in North America have such a craving for meat that the methane from our cows stinky ass farts is actaully breaking down the ozone. Is that not messed up? how can you not be worried.
Ok ok you got me here..... So now "we" know that co2 is a heat sync, but what about the other ~70% of greenhouse gases that are water vapor? Does water vapor not act as a "heat sync"? Should we tell everyone to not have a pool or water their lawns because its evaporating water vapor which is a greenhouse gas that acts as a "heat sync"??????
Some random facts from wiki.
Five hundred million years ago carbon dioxide was 20 times more prevalent than today, decreasing to 4-5 times during the
OpenDNS period and then maintained a slow decline until the
industrial revolution, with
a particularly swift reduction occurring 49 million years ago.
[17][18]
Up to 40% of the gas emitted by some
volcanoes during subaerial
volcanic eruptions is carbon dioxide.
[19] According to the best estimates, volcanoes release about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
There is about 50 times as much carbon dissolved in the oceans in the form of CO2 and CO2 hydration products as exists in the atmosphere. The oceans act as an enormous
carbon sink, having "absorbed about one-third of all human-generated CO2 emissions to date."
[23] Generally, gas solubility decreases as water temperature increases. Accordingly carbon dioxide is released from ocean water into the atmosphere as ocean temperatures rise.
Most of the CO2 taken up by the ocean forms carbonic acid.
So as you can see volcanoes produce 145-255 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. Maybe we should put a carbon tax on the volcanoes?

This is extremely important in realizing the relationship between co2 levels and our temps. The warmer the water the less co2 that it can absorb, and the converse hold true too- the colder the water the more co2 it can absorb/dissolve..
Moreover, the temps thusly effect the co2 levels and not the other way around. A colder ocean temp, the more co2 it can dissolve. A warmer ocean temp, the less co2 it can absorb. But, in order to change the oceans temps it takes MANY years because the ocean is SO VAST and MASSIVE.
Also i saw i really smart thing the other day about the fact that regardless of wether Global warming is a crisis or not, why in the holy hell would we then chose to not spend the cash to try to fix it now rather than wait till the next crisis! I just dont get the resistance to sponsoring greener ways of living.
What you saw this dummy? YouTube - Most Terrifying Video You'll Ever See
The reason why I say we shouldn't spend the cash is because ITS NOT WORTH PUTTING OUR COUNTRY INTO A MASSIVE DEPRESSION FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT A REMEDIAL... This guy is probably banking off of global warming for a research paycheck.
I'm all for sponsoring a greener way of living dude, I'm just trying to educate people about the scam being pulled.
