we have measured a decrease in outgoing radiation (heat) that is specific to
the co2 absorbance spectrum.
Not exact matches
Another point: I thought that for
CO2 in the atmosphere, IR
absorbance is proportional to log [
CO2], not linear.
One would assume that if adding
CO2 to a N2 / O2 gas mixture it will increase the
absorbance of IR and also the emission of IR, unless of course Planck's law doesn't apply to magic gasses like
CO2.
Wait until next week when we find out that atmospheric
CO2 molecules exchange tachyon particles so that heat
absorbance today heats the air in the future, which explains why we have hidden heat, a pause and why climate sensitivity appears to be lower than the 8.73 degrees it really is.
The difference is the method used in all other fields to calculate
CO2's
absorbance produces a maximum impact, beyond which further increases in
CO2 concentration have no impact.
