The explanation provided does not explain everything even within the confines of climate science.  When massive amounts of energy are added to a dynamical system there will be chaos before a new equilibrium is obtained.  This is not controversial.  It’s settled science.  The heat dome in question is not just a bunch of new local high temps.  That’s the wrong thing to look at.  It’s a large high pressure mass doing things that the equilibrium established before the industrial revolution largely prevented.</text><parent_chain><item><author>aww_dang</author><text>I appreciate that.

After a day under the sun, check the temperature of both greenhouses (well, actually, the energy contain in the air of both greenhouses would be better). If one of them have more energy than the second, this &amp;quot;CO2 have no impact on the climate&amp;quot; theory should die and his proponents shut up.</text><parent_chain><item><author>aww_dang</author><text>I appreciate that.
