I'm not sure that's a fact. I expect that it's heated extraordinarily quickly when transitioning from the real ice ages to something more like the climate we're currently enjoying. If I get the time, I'll look into that more and return whatever I find.I had read many places where it has been said that the warming effect of CO2 diminishes almost logarithmically with concentration. I went searching for a scholarly article about that and found this one:http://brneurosci.org/co2.htmlPalerider supplied a debunking article in the actual Global Warming thread that I found a bit tedious to meander through. I'd sent it to an astrophysicist that I know (we were kids together and best friends; I was the best man at his wedding) at Argonne National Laboratories who is a devout Global Warming-ist. He reviewed it and had several comments but I don't recall that it had this specific information in it and I sort of doubt that he knows this kind of stuff. It's a big universe, afterall. This is more in keeping with the kind of stuff that I have to do and I had meant to get around to it but "so much to do--so little time... "I feel like I cheated searching for this but I don't really like reinventing wheels, either. It is presented well and the math works out properly. The points made with respect to absorption of energy by spectra are correct in principle and I've no reason to suspect "foul play" in the associated graphs.Pidgey
