However, a NASA satellite designed to examine CO2 buildup produced an unexpected result in December 2009-- the CO2 circulates in clumps in the atmosphere, mainly over the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes. So think pillows of CO2, not a blanket. So the insulating or greenhouse effect of the CO2 is much more limited and variable than previously understood and will likely force a reexamination of computer models of climate change.

Later on he published a book that said that industrial CO2 emissions would heat the Earth, but that was OK, since at the time the fear was that the Earth was headed for another ice age. The cooling Earth theme remained in force into the 1970s and is occasionally used by the global warming critics to suggest how bogus climate modeling is.

Two and a half centuries of engineering and mechanical evolution to perfect the combustion of carbon based material for the generation of profit and the creation of a certain way of life - consumption. It will not stop until all the coal and all the oil and all the gas are gone. It has been some 250 years since the onset of the Industrial Revolution.
