As previously discussed here , prior to 2001, the similarly embattled U.N.

Yes, of course, energy is absorbed and then immediately emitted by CO2. But your GHE theory infers CO2 then traps or delays the release of such energy to cause some warming.

Much has been said by Mr. Gore and other climate alarmists about rising ocean temperatures and sea levels as a result of rising CO2.
