CO2 does not absorb the entire spectrum of IR and the IR radiated by the earth's surface is not solely in the CO2 absorption range. So adding energy in an area of the spectrum that CO2 does not...

Except when the medium absorbing the energy has become saturated to the point that the addition of energy results in an insignificant overall change. To attain the temperature changes stated by some...
Precisely. And this is why all these 'theories' should never be taken as fact prior to substantial scientific proof.
2 cool years does not a climate trend create. I would even say 30 years does...
Hardly a scientific fact or observation but duly noted.
Actually from what I have read the science shows that CO2 levels lag behind the temperature changes. Always temperature first then CO2. The main culprit in warm and cool cycles is solar output...
First we had oil at 147 a barrel because we were running out. If we didn't do something we were all doomed. Now we are at oh 35 a barrel or so. Still running out but OPEC is cutting production by...
