Certainly, increasing carbon dioxide in a closed system will increase warming, but there are so many nuances and misconceptions about the problem and solutions. No one acknowledges that radiative forcing due to CO2 is logarithmic with concentration. Our weather models are terrible after 7 days but they peddle these 100 year forecasts with 1000 percent error bars. Atmospheric physicists (not junk science climate activists) are still discovering climate cycles and processes of varying time scales and magnitudes. Meanwhile, society is reaping the benefits of increased CO2 through crop productivity and drought-resistant plants.
The debate about the solution is even more troubling. Batteries are simply receptacles of the “dirty” energy from the grid, while requiring more fossil fuels to mine the metals required. Ever seen solar and wind powered mining equipment? The solar and wind farms requiring more mining and more land and more deforestation. Anyone advocating for a carbon neutral world should just stop exhaling CO2 now to spare themselves from a world without electricity and running water.
