We are told that carbon dioxide is the main cause of global warming ' it is not. The primary source of surface heat is radiant energy from the sun. Minor heat comes from geothermal energy from volcanoes and hot rocks.
Your comments:
Let's go back to high school physics. Carbon dioxide traps heat in Earth's atmosphere.
Scientists agree that is the primary reason the Earth is warming (97 percent of the scientists involved with environmental science agree).
With the destruction of huge swaths of forests worldwide, claims that carbon dioxide does not do any damage are not valid either.
