    3 Physicists Use Experimental Evidence To Show CO2’s Capacity To Absorb Radiation Has Saturated

    By Kenneth Richard on 23. April 2024

    Excerpt:

    Adding CO2 to the atmosphere can have no significant climatic effect when rising above the threshold of about 300 ppm. Due to saturation, higher and higher concentrations do not lead to any further absorption of radiation.

    ======================

    There are 8 additional published papers in the link showing similar results going back to 1971.

    Interesting. We all know that the effect of CO2 is logarithmic but this papers shows a saturation point where increased concentrations do not have an increased effect.

    how long before we hit that point

    looks like we already hit it, so now we will keep getting hotter up to a certain point, then level out sounds like

    then do we bottle the heat in, reflect heat back into space... what happens
