Radiation from the Sun heats our planet. Most of it bounces right back out into space after it hits the Earth. CO2 interferes with that process and deflecks i some of that escaping radiation back to the Earth again. That's why temperatures are rising all around the world. To the ordinary person it seems miniscule and is occurring at a slow rate. But in the chronology of Earth's time it's increasing rapidly and altering our climate I live in the Nebraska, what was called tornado Alley. The increases in temperature equate to increases in the power and variability of the weather patterns. I don't think we're in tornado Alley anymore, it's been shifted East several hundred miles and now places like Mississippi Alabama Tennessee Kentucky are having all the tornadoes they might be the new tornado Alley. Power has the ability to move things and we keep giving Earth's climate patterns more and more power.I thought co2 drove temperatures?
