CO2 has a surprisingly feeble greenhouse effect.

Almost anything else you could use as a refrigerant is worse.

Even water vapour is a worse greenhouse gas.

Edit: wait, have I been whooshed? Apologies if so... ;-)



Maybe but at this point I no longer think it's fair to be quite this dry on something that quite so many people would be legitimately sincere about anyway so I wouldn't exactly apologize for being the victim.

Yeah, but I'm from the UK so I should be able to detect dry humour. It's something that Americans don't really get.

You know, like affordable healthcare.


I apologise, I am at the dry humour stage of climate grief.


Take heart in the thought that this is going to ease off a bit in a couple of years when the current solar cycle dies down and the sun is not dumping about 5% more energy into the atmosphere than normal.
