How much does CO2 contribute to the warming of the earth's atmosphere? Would you believe ZERO, nada, not at all? Well, the truth is, it literally doesn't matter what the composition of an atmosphere of a planet is, the maximum average temperature of a planet can be determined knowing only two variables: the distance the planet is from the sun, and how HEAVY the atmosphere is, otherwise known as atmospheric pressure. As any even a beginner meteorologist knows, it's changes in PRESSURE, that determines weather, and has a lot to do with climate as well. As humans, we control neither pressure nor the distance we are from the sun. So stop your worrying!!!
"The Zeller-Nikolov discovery means that Earth's atmosphere keeps us warm via gas-compression heating under the weight of Earth's approximately 300-mile-thick atmosphere, not by the greenhouse effect. An actual greenhouse has a glass wall enclosing it. Earth has no enclosure and is open to space, so the two scientists suggest that the term "greenhouse effect" be replaced by "atmospheric thermal enhancement." Heat is created by compressing atmospheric gases through the pull of gravity. Similarly, in a diesel engine a piston is used to compress gases to generate enough heat to eliminate the need for a spark plug. The tremendous gravitational pull on the enormous mass of Earth's atmosphere combined with solar radiation warms our planet just enough to allow carbon-based life forms to flourish.
"If carbon dioxide was the powerful greenhouse gas alarmists claim it to be, the calculations for Venus would have to be dramatically different than the calculations for Earth, but they are the same. This tells us that CO2 has no measurable direct effect on planetary temperature, which makes perfect sense as the Earth has experienced severe ice ages when atmospheric CO2 levels were many times higher than they are today."
