Wind, Not a Carbon Dioxide Canopy, Controls Temps on Mother Earth
At its core, the theory of man-made global warming (renamed to "climate change") is easy to understand. The theory says when we burn fossil fuels (or wood, or garbage, or any carbon-based source), carbon dioxide is released and floats up into the atmosphere. If there's too much CO2 floating up there, it creates a canopy trapping the heat that rises from the earth, warming the entire planet. If it's true that more CO2 creates a canopy, the question becomes, how much is too much CO2? Strong arguments are made that a slightly warmer planet benefits all life and is not necessarily a bad thing. However, a veteran energy analyst, in responding to the memes that natural gas should be phased out due to fear of global warming, offers a blunt assessment: CO2 is not the key factor that controls the temperatures we experience on the surface of our planet. The key factor is wind.
