Mythbusters tests global warming theory - does CO2 warm air?

They build transparent boxes, fill some with CO2 and methane, then monitor temperature differences.

@NoEcologyNoEconomy LOL! Thank you for the hanging curve ball. ALL the models show that the in the tropics, the upper troposphere should create a hot spot of trapped heat based on the concept of "moist adiabat". However temp data shows no "hot spot". So either the surface temp data is crap or the troposphere temp data is crap. And skeptics have been criticizing the surface temp data for YEARS for being both incompetant and dishonest. surfacestations]org

@nlpjohn, that claim is countered by this article: "Does high levels of CO2 in the past contradict the warming effect of CO2?" (Skeptical Science website)

What you're doing is selectively dumbing-down the scenario by leaving out large amounts of context. It's too complicated to explain in a sound-byte, so it gets passed off as a reasonable argument, as do most denial talking-points. Many of the details will never be "common sense." But the basic premise of CO2 trapping heat can't be ignored.

@NoEcologyNoEconomy 550 million years ago when CO2 levels were 20x our pre-industrial CO2 baselines, positve feedback did NOT happen. Ergo, the white unicorn called the "runaway greenhouse effect" did NOT happen.  The excuse given by alarmists is the sun was cooler. Was it 20x cooler?

[NoEcologyNoEconomy]

CO2's ability to trap heat has been generally understood since 1859 (Tyndall).

CO2 molecules vibrate in response to infrared, and that vibration generates retained energy.

I'm sure right-wingers are crying foul because their think-tank "experts" weren't consulted for this show.

Hahaha, the people that come on this basic video whiches describes and proves the enhanced greenhouse effect in laymans terms, and yet still state that climate change is a lie makes me giggle. Wow. Get an education and some common sense.

Global Warming = Real.

"....IPCC which does not do research but collates and reports the work done by others."

I think you didnt understand yet, what the IPCC really does; I will help you: The IPCC collects weather data and other information from scientists and universities, changes them to false data covering the GHE-lie and pay the scientists, universities, politicians and the media to shut their mouths about it. Than they collect (steal is a better word) money for the "climate Protection"

@widebody123:"1/ Learn English."

I already did, 15 years ago. "3/ Return to 3rd grade science and pay attention this time."

Thats what YOU should do, especially because YOU did not release any good >wisdoms< but you think you can judge about physical facts.

[Razor95321]

Well, there is a really big mass of faked data, faked stuff which is called "evidence" or "proof" and a much bigger mass of corrupt, ignorant and totally criminal liars, thieves, betrayers and so on.

But there are 10000 scientists who mobilized against the GHE-lie, and THEY have a MUCH bigger mass of PROOFS, STUDIES, DATA... and the best thing is: Everything they say is true, proven and stabled by physical facts.

@acutube50:"You can prove that can you?"

I dont have to prove it, just because it was proven multiple times.

"You have actual hard evidence? Science papers? Observations?"

Oh yes! I read many studies, looked at real weather data, but the most important thing: I know something about physics, and there are laws, which make a GHE totally inpossible.

"There's a mass of evidence that says it is and from people around the world who are far more reputable than you."
