Hey Bozo, CO2 isn\'t even a tenth of a percent, yet you think it is HIGHLY relevant.
That\'s flaky analysis, of course. The \'tenth of a percent\' of a mirror\'s
aluminum coating on its glass pane, is the only difference between
a mirror and a window. The measure sounds small, but that\'s
not what determines opacity. Relevance follows opacity, not
percentage.
LOL! Now it is mirrors!! Increase your house\'s insulation by 0.05% and see what happens.

My house has lots of air exchange; the Earth is in vacuum of space, well insulated
against that kind of heat movement. Mirrors is the way to prevent radiative heat transfer,
which is what drives global warming.

Increase your planet\'s thermal insulation by 0.05 % and... no result. Nada. Zip. Zilch.
Nichevo. Rien.

Hey, CO2 isn\'t even a tenth of a percent, yet you think it is HIGHLY relevant.

The CO2 content of the atmosphere is currently 421 ppm - up from 270 ppm over most of this interglacial, and that is where most of our current 1.5C of anthropogernic global warming is coming from. It couldn\'t be more relevant, but you are much too ignorant to understand how.

Hey, you have EXACTLY ZERO EVIDENCE that that is the cause, even after I asked you to produce it.

None that you can understand. If you can ever get a brain implant you might be able to do better,

Cosmic rays are just more pathetic handwaving from the climate change denial propaganda machine, along with imaginary changes in solar output.

Cosmic rays DO affect cloud formation, whether you agree or not.

Not much. They do provide condensation nuclei. So do finely divided silver iodide crystals.

there are plenty of other condensation nuclei around, so it doesn\'t do anything significant.
