The Dilution Effect
Nov79.com A major error of global warming is defying the fact that each carbon dioxide molecule is surrounded by 2,500 air molecules and has no way to spread the heat around. This dilution divides the CO2 temperature by 2,500 for the average temperature, which is no heating at all. To heat the air 1°C average, each CO2 molecule would have to be 2,500°C—an impossibility. At 400 parts per million in the atmosphere, CO2 is too dilute to heat the surrounding air. Conducting heat to nearby molecules by bumping increases the number of molecules radiating away the added heat, which prevents …
