PREFACE

An atmospheric molecule’s heat capacity is determined by the strength of its covalent bond, that is the strength determined by the number of electrons that’s shared between atoms, hence Carbon Dioxide’s lower heat capacity vis-à-vis Nitrogen, Oxygen and Methane, each of the latter three molecules having greater heat capacities than Carbon Dioxide due to weaker covalent bonding that allows for greater volumes, a gas molecule’s volume directly attributable to the heat energy it contains. This is proven by the Kinetic Diameter of atmospheric gases. Kinetic Diameter is a measure applied to atoms and molecules that expresses the likelihood that a molecule in a gas will collide with another molecule. It is an indication of the size of the molecule as a target. Carbon Dioxide has a Kinetic Diameter value of 3.3 Angstrom Units. Nitrogen is 3.64 Å. Oxygen is 3.46 Å. Methane is 3.8 Å. The smaller value for Carbon Dioxide informs that the molecule has less heat energy than the other molecules, otherwise its volume/size – a direct linear function of temperature when pressure is constant – would be higher than Nitrogen and Oxygen.

THERMODYNAMICS IN ACTION

Climate change mechanics conspires to do away with the physics of the atmosphere, where action and reaction is abandoned. When a new gas molecule is introduced into the atmosphere, dislocation takes place, where if the new molecule is denser than the atmosphere (contains less thermal energy), such as carbon dioxide, the gas molecule sinks displacing upwards the warmer nitrogen and oxygen molecules, thereby immediately cooling the area of dislocation. As warmer nitrogen and oxygen molecules rise, they in turn push downwards cooler nitrogen and oxygen molecules, further cooling the atmosphere.

Conversely, if the new gas molecule has more thermal energy than the nitrogen-oxygen based atmosphere (such as methane), the new molecule rises, displacing relatively cooler nitrogen and oxygen molecules downwards, which displaces upwards relatively more thermal energy retaining nitrogen and oxygen molecules, thereby cooling the area of dislocation.

Thermodynamics in action in the atmosphere that keeps the Earth cool when increased solar radiation isn't the new variable introduced:

When the temperature of a given mass of air increases, it expands, becomes lighter, and rises. In turn, the denser cooler air of upper layers of troposphere descends and replaces the warmer air of lower layers. This physical system (multiple cells of air convection) acts in the Earth’s troposphere like a continuous surface cooler. The cooling effect by air convection can surpass considerably the warming effect of radiation.

When man or nature release additional amounts of carbon dioxide or methane into the atmosphere, they are already super heated to their maximum volumes, hence why - outside of fraudulent laboratory conditions - infrared radiation plays no role in the heating of Earth's troposphere.
