How much heat is trapped? Is it significant?


The atmosphere is not a laboratory. CO2 only affects the radiative release of energy, but convection in the atmosphere is also very important. A 1% change in cloud cover makes a bigger difference than a 100% increase in CO2. Those are just two of several confounding effects, so the simple statement that 'CO2 traps heat' is only a small part of the climate.



And as far as that link is concerned, it's filled with lies and half truths. For just one example of a flat out lie, the bottle experiment will not prove anything since measurement errors and other heat sources (such as a lamp being marginally closer to one bottle vs. the other) will vastly overwhelm the effect of CO2. Bill Nye was caught faking the results of this experiment for just that reason.
Yea, they got all that covered, boss. You honestly think these people being published in journals don't know about albedo and FRIGGIN CONVECTION--like are you serious? That'd be like questioning a doctor on the function of the heart or a musician if he knew what notes are. You are ridiculous.
