If green house gasses can trap sun light then why wont it reflect it just as good or better than it traps it?

Exactly what i think. The earth is not an garbage bin and humans has no right to make it.

The trouble with this video would have you believe that CO2 is like a choking gas covering the whole of the united states like a thick cloud. But the truth be known is that CO2 makes up such a tiny amount of the air and only 0.038% so this is exaggerated view and one you should ignore

You are ignoring the fact that CO2 is being put into the atmosphere by the burning of fossil fuels. Perhaps normally your statistic would be relevant, but you're just trying to spread the epidemic ignorance.

There is no epidemic of ignorance because there is no proof what so ever man is doing this. All you sheeple bleating on climate change when it's mostly made up and the words IF & MIGHT come up way to often, basically its just guess work. Carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere by a variety of natural sources, and over 97% of total CO2 emissions would occur even if humans were not present on earth. Lets just hope they don't ban the fizz in our drinks, yes its the same CO2

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
And you call us Sheeple.
There's nothing wrong with being doubtful or critical of scientific findings. But when the majority of CREDIBLE scientific evidence is showing us that Humans are creating excess of the natural levels of CO2, to ignore that is ignorant. There is absolutely no question that human beings are changing the climate through the greenhouse effect. I imagine you're going to tell me that Evolution is a myth too!

Does anyone know how CO2, which is heavier than AIR, actually get up into the atmosphere and actually stays up there?

Air currents. Actually many of the large wind current systems wind up dumping air pollution of all sorts at the polar regions.

In this same vein, ocean water likewise flows in vast currents, called gyres. In the pacific, much of the entire ocean has become a large floating underwater trash heap. Much of this is consolidated into a huge area in the middle around where the gyre circulates, but the gyre itself carries more trash around the ocean than what is in the island.

Did you know that "AIR" is actually made up of many different elements, and is roughly 79% nitrogen? No, I didn't think so.

Excellent representation and work on the model!
