Easy solution to all those that Do Not believe that we are a large part of the increased climate change:
Take them out into their Escalades, Navigators, Hummers and Land Rovers. Lock them in so they cannot get out, turn on the engine and
then “Stick a Banana in their TailPipe” and see how long they last before a slow death takes them to whatever heaven they believe in.
People seem to forget that this little sphere we live on is a CLOSED ECO SYSTEM ! There will be no place to hide when it all comes

Earth isn’t a closed system.
Not that I think climate change is bunk, but seriously - Earth is not a closed system.[/quote]
how do you figure ? You can not get anything that is not here already ? Life would be the only thing that could effect the system
[/quote]
So a large comet or Asteroid could not change the climate from outside. We can not leave and go somewhere else. Also a large volcanic eruption which we are long over due for could decrease the temp rather quickly. How closed is the system?[/quote]
Or, there is this little thing called radiation.[/quote]
I stand corrected , but the Sun is the only variable to be a closed system and that is part of another system

The sun is not a closed system [/quote]
I think that the sun only supplies light and radiation it could be considered part of other systems but it may not be a system in it’s self . It is by all means part of our solar system it is i am sure part of the milky way but the sun by it’s self is that (the sun)
I would say the way the sun works would be a system the definition of system
A set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular.
A set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network.
I think it is part of other systems

No. You also have radiation from other sources, the universe is full of it.
You also have radiation from the earth to outer space.
You also have other things like the effects of gravity that prevent it from being closed.
When discussing earth temperature, the MOST important part of the equation, mainly energy entering and leaving the system, are outside of the earth.
It’s really more or less the opposite of closed.
If it were actually closed, barring some mass conversion, the earth temperature would be entirely determined.
The whole point of CO2 is that it effects the radiative process. Making the earth a closed system invalidates anthropomorphic warming.
