I don't know what you say when you say "control knob".

CO2 is one of many different elements that can effect the atmosphere. It's not even the worst greenhouse gas, it just happens to be one of the most plentiful of gasses. That gives it a significant effect on containing heat within the rest of the planet and the water. Have had an education in physics (rather than chemistry), every single physicist explained climate change to me along the lines of thermodynamics more than anything else. Not only does a thicker layering of CO2 help to warm the air, it also helps to warm the water and that's where your most serious weather effects are going to come from by shifting rain fall pasterns, moving ocean currents, and allowing the water to store more energy in the form of heat, which allows for heavier rains.

When it comes to planetology, CO2 is a major factor in stabalizing an atmosphere. One of the reasons Mars basically doesn't have an atmosphere is because it's magnetosphere is so weak, and it's gravity also so weak, that it can't actually contain a lot of the necessary gasses that it needs to develop a thicker atmosphere capable of sustaining life on the surface.

If your issue is with CO2 is that it's thermodynamic nonsense, then there's something you're missing from your calculation.

It reminds me of 3 hour argument I had with a creationist who was in our physics class, along with my physics professor and one of our top students. He asserted that star formation was impossible because gravity was a weaker force than the nuclear force. ... that's true generally, but it's not true at scale. That's why you need enormous amounts of mass to congregate around a single spot in order to make the material collapse into creating fusion. All of the material on the entire Earth is not enough. You need thousands of Earth's worth of material to cause star formation to happen.

But he got stuck at: "It's a weaker force", and wouldn't move from it.Like this guy

To me, the thing you said was "400ppm trace gas" and it makes me think you're just hearing that it's not a lot of gas in a room, therefore it shouldn't have an effect. After all, when was the last time anyone died of CO2 poisoning in a closed room just because they were sitting in it exhaling?

Okay, so your position is "shut the fuck up warmist" then you should have said that in the first place instead of asking me a question.

I read it, I just didn't feel it was worth my time to argue with you since your position is mostly about mocking me. Why should I even contemplate a discussion with you?

Go be fat somewhere else.
