Most of that is very inaccurate. For example, CO2 saturation limit could only happen if CO2 only absorbed IR from the earth. But it doesn't, it also emits IR and absorbs IR from other CO2. Higher concentrations of CO2 leads to a thicker blanket effect where IR has more difficulty escaping earth's atmosphere. This is basic physics.To the leftists, activists, communists, alarmists, uneducated, terrorists, fearmongering kennalists, let me educate you on what science is and isn't.
Your appeals to authority expose your imbecility and your illiteracy in science. What use have presented over the last few weeks has absolutely nothing to do with science.
Here's a reality check.
A layman friendly description as to why CO2 follows the temperature, and thus why humans can never ever cause climate change: The sun is still the main driver of climate.
Here's why: As soon as the sun shines over the earth, temperatures rise. After that CO2 levels increase. Why is that? That's quite simple. CO2 is more soluble in cold water than in hot. As soon as the earth becomes naturally warm, CO2 subsequently emerges from the oceans and the soil and thus accumulates in the atmosphere. When it becomes dark again, temperatures drop and then the oceans and the soil take up the CO2 again (in a staggered interval off course).
If CO2 was the main driver, temperatures would increase in an endless and unbridled fashion. That was never the case and it never will be. Not ever.
Besides, the CO2 that is in the atmosphere has almost reached its saturation point when it comes to the absorbability of light. CO2 is only capable of absorbing its favourite wavelengths of light.
Absorbability is limited. CO2 only manages to grab a little bit more light from wavelengths that are close to its favourite bands. However, it can't do much more, due to the fact that there aren't many left-over photons of the desired wavelength. This so-called warming effect has reached its peak.
Adding more CO2 doesn't have an effect at all. It's just like a sponge, which in practice will obviously never ever be able to absorb unlimited amounts of fluid
I would go into detail but it would be pointless explaining it to someone who doesn't want to learn. So here's a random link
