The Global Warming Gas Fails to keep us Warm

The climate alarmists claim that the tiny quantity of invisible carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere is causing dangerous global warming.

Two recent nights at our farm at Rosevale make me wonder. The first night had perfectly clear skies, allowing carbon dioxide full scope to absorb the radiant energy leaving the surface and radiate half of it back, supposedly keeping us warm. I was working outside as the sun went down after a warm sunny day. Immediately the sun dipped below the horizon, temperature dropped dramatically, and coats shed during the day were quickly put back on. Temperature fell steadily all night reaching 2 ℃ by sunrise the next day. On the next day, clouds came in and by afternoon it was completely clouded. The temperature at sundown was lower than on the sunny day, but the night stayed much warmer. It was still 9 ℃ under the clouds at sunrise, a full 7 ℃ of warming compared to the clear night. This small real-time experiment can be repeated often. It shows that clouds and water vapour in the atmosphere are far more effective in retaining surface warmth than the demonised carbon dioxide. Maybe they will levy tax on water vapour from steaming kettles and hot showers to combat their contributions to global warming? Viv Forbes, Rosewood,Qld Australia
