The argument about global warming is tough to follow. One source warns that we have experienced two-thirds of a degree F, another article cites eight of a degree C over the same period.
This change in temperature is attributed to CO2. A greenhouse gas. Let's take a moment and discuss greenhouse gas.
Water vapor, a greenhouse gas, is 95% of the atmosphere. CO2, another greenhouse gas, is 0.034 % of the atmosphere. It's a rare gas in the atmosphere.
Water vapor often falls as rain for the plants on earth. Plants absorb the rain, inhale CO2 and use it to grow.
The plants, from the Sequoia trees in California to the grass on the lawn, use the "C" to grow and give off the "O2" for us to breathe.
I'm almost embarrassed to point out that warming precedes CO2 release from the oceans. A simple experiment demonstrates that warming comes before release of CO2. Beverage makers cool their product to enable the injection of the 'fizz', CO2,
When the soda (ocean) is warmed, the carbon dioxide comes out of solution.
Carbon dioxide does not come out of a cold solution. A solution containing CO2, when warmed, releases carbon dioxide.
No human laws, agreements or taxes will change this convention of life on earth. Mankind can change the topography of Earth (Gaia), but it is not within the purview of humans to change Nature.
Mankind learns the rules of Nature. Nature does not read human laws.
