Yes, I note none of them have refuted a single point made in my opening statement about CO2.

So Deniers, here we go again. In the 1820'sJoseph Fourier discovered something in the atmosphere traps the suns heat. (This was a quarter century before the Communist Manifesto was published, for those who track such things.) In 1856 Eunice Foote discovered CO2 traps heat very effectively. John Tyndall confirmed it in 1859. The power of CO2 as a heat trapper can be tested in any decent physics lab on the planet. Trap some CO2, shine various wavelengths of energy through it, and see what "shadows" form on the other side. The shadows indicate what wavelengths didn't make it and were redirected by the gases.
Even simple thermal cameras can confirm it. Watch the candle at 90 seconds in! (1 minute) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6Un69RMNSw

It's SUCH basic physics that even Mythbusters could set up a backyard test that demonstrated how CO2 traps heat. (3 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPRd5GT0v0I

CO2 traps heat. This is known. It's in physics textbooks over a century old. Warnings to the public started over 60 years ago, as this 1958 Bell Telephone Company "Science Hour" shows. (2 minutes). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-AXBbuDxRY&t=4s

Max,

" Eucalypts are iconic Australian forest trees. Ninety-two million hectares of the Eucalypt forest type occurs in Australia, and forms three-quarters of the total native forest area."
How many to the hectare?

Note the absence of the 's' from 'https' in the successful link.

It's an OLO thing, Max, and newcomers to the forum always get caught but few will bother to tell you.

People love trees, true, but trees, particularly eucalypts don't love people, they drop very heavy limbs on them and burn them in bushfires.
We can afford to cut down a few million to save lives.

If you want trees then plant fire retardant species and Multiculturalists could plant imported trees such as oak and elm.

Max, using the nature of CO2 forming shadows means the Earth should be cooling as More CO2 in the atmosphere traps more radiation.

NASA

NASA’s Langley Research Center has collated data proving that “greenhouse gases” actually block up to 95 percent of harmful solar rays from reaching our planet, thus reducing the heating impact of the sun.

Dear Max Green,

I am an environmental sociologist conducting independent research on water. My knowledge of science I got through doing my mechanical engineering degree and my readings to complement my interest in environmental issues and the manifest nature of water. I concur with what you are saying but it is my understanding that CO2 acts more as a trigger to global warming and is the direct cause of the main of producing the real culprit, being water vapour.

Max here in this place we get folk like you, informed posters often few stay
See truth has little value for many, they feed on a very real conspiracy
Put in place to confuse, to lie, to insult truth
Huge numbers world wide of true scientists tell us climate change is real
In fact countrys and groups like NASA WHO, the UN itself tell us this is true
But the combat continues,why
BECAUSE of self interests of the owners of fossil fuels
Much like the tobacco lobby murdered the truth
The first victims of climate change lineup here to give evidence they are unconcerned about the truth
Be safe today, as four states face fires that have already killed and destroyed, in the worst drought we have not yet seen the end of
Climate change? proof? wait and see
