Carbon Heat Trapping: Merely A Bit Player in Global Warming

New calculations show that doubling of carbon dioxide (CO2) will increase average global
temperature by only about 1F (degrees Fahrenheit) or 0.55C (degrees Centigrade), much less that
the range of 1C to 5C estimated by the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC). These new calculations are based on NASA supported spectral calculations available on
the Internet relating to greenhouse gases. The temperature increases are estimated to be
somewhat more in winter in the colder climates because of reduced competing atmosphere water
vapor, but smaller increases at other times and places. These calculations also estimate that a 10
percent increase of water vapor in the atmosphere, a stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, or a
reduction in the average cloud cover of only about 2 percent, will increase global temperature about as much as doubling CO2 would.
