probably has something to do with the difference between CO2 and H20.
maybe bring upi your earth-shattering thoughts to the 34 national academies of science who have apparently neglected to go through the rigorous thought processes that you clearly have.
Well Buck,
Since there is between 2 and 3% water vapor in Earths atmosphere at all locations on the average day and 0.04% CO2 I find it difficult to believe that air currents (wind) will concentrate the CO2 to above water vapor levels.
Both CO2 and Water vapor are greenhouse gases that trap longwave radiation inside the atmosphere and the result is air temperatures holding more heat. However since there is 60 times more water vapor in the atmosphere, the airborn CO2 is a less likely factor in holding the heat in the atmosphere. If both water vapor and CO2 were at equal levels in the atmosphere, CO2 would be the greater factor, ...but they are not in equal quantities. But...BUT, CO2 trapped in the oceans is the root cause of the weather heating or cooling the atmosphere.
So while the CO2 is the root cause it is not what holds the heat in the atmosphere. An example would be that cloudy nights are warmer than clear nights because clear nights are cooled by radiational cooling, and hazy, humid days hold more heat because warm air hold more humidity.
Yup, water vapor is the reason the atmosphere holds more heat while CO2 trapped in the ocean water, not the air, is the driving element.
