The climate has been a continuous state of change since a climate came to be. Change is it's very nature.
Define 'climate change'.
You have been shown the comparative nature of CO2 in the atmosphere. Its basically a trace element.
So?
CO2 is one of many so-called green house gasses. Far and away the most common one is H2O (sadly this does not appear in the atmosphere breakdown above). It can actually perform the actions attributed to green house gasses because it has the unique ability to change it's state (solid/liquid/gas) in free atmosphere. This allows it to trap and redirect energy. None of the others have this capability.
You cannot trap light.
You cannot trap heat.
You cannot trap thermal energy. There is always heat.
NO gas or vapor has the magick ability to set aside the 1st or 2nd laws of thermodynamics or the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
The Earth has a very long scale cycle of warming and cooling (Ice Ages being the cooling end).
How do you know? Were you there?
It is very long running and surprisingly consistent.
How do you know? Were you there?
It has been proven that solar emissions drive this process.
Attempted proof by void.
Over the past several decades we happen to have been in a warming pattern
It is not possible to measure the temperature of the Earth. How many decades is 'past several'? Why is this point in time significant? Why is any other point in time NOT significant?
which begs the question is it not possible that this proven natural cycle is responsible for the very thing it is known to do ?
What proven natural cycle? Void argument fallacy. Define 'The Natural Cycle' you are referring to.
There have been some events that can interfere with the solar cycles such as volcanos blowing massive amounts of particulate into the atmosphere
Volcanoes cannot affect the output of the Sun or the solar cycle.
which can and do absorb solar energy and redirect it back into space thereby cooling the planet by preventing it from seeing this energy.
Absorption is not reflection.
Large meteor strikes do much the same thing.
The 'same thing'? What 'thing' is that?
This is thought to explain the end of dinosaurs.
So you are talking about a theory, and not even a scientific one.
So to recap
- climate change is nothing new
- CO2 is an unlikely player given it's scarcity
Define 'climate change'. NO gas or vapor has the capability to create energy out of nothing, reduce entropy, or trap light, heat, or thermal energy. See the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics and the Stefan-Boltzmann law.
Its hard to ignore that none of the cataclysmic events predicted as a result of "climate change" have come to pass.
Define 'climate change'.
The claims of more severe weather have been demonstrated to be false despite the president claiming otherwise and being reminded by his own experts that he was incorrect.
The number and intensity of storms on Earth is unknown.
And as a bonus, scientists ascribing to the solar based evidence tell us that we are due up for a "little Ice Age" in the near future.
So you are talking about a religious belief.
And I wont even get into how the green house gas theory fails the 2nd law of thermodynamics (thermal energy may only pass from a warmer to colder object without "external work" such as being enclosed in a box,
A box is not work nor a source of energy.
you know like a greenhouse is a box
A greenhouse can be any shape. It allows infrared electromagnetic energy in, which is absorbed and converted into thermal energy, but restricts convective heating. Radiative and conductive heat are not affected. All the energy gained by the greenhouse is lost again at night.
to be fair its rather difficult to create a free atmosphere to test this).
Makes no difference.
Or that no one has demonstrated that it even is a scientifically proven thing.
Science has no proofs.
Cliche.
Science has no proofs. It is an open functional system. It does not use consensus. It has no beliefs or religion. Science is just a set of falsifiable theories. No more. No less. That's it. That's all.
The 'greenhouse gas theory' that you mention isn't even defined. It's a void argument, and not even a valid theory (which is an explanatory argument).
All theories (scientific or otherwise) MUST be valid arguments. No fallacies allowed. This is known as the internal consistency check.
No theory of science may conflict with any other theory of science. One or both theories must be falsified. This is known as the external consistency check.
It is not possible to prove any theory True.
It IS possible to show a theory of science to be False. That is NOT possible with a nonscientific theory.
A theory of science MUST be falsifiable. That means it must withstand an attack via the null hypothesis, that is, a test designed to destroy that theory. That test must be specifiable, it must be practical to conduct, it must be specific, and it must produce a specific result. This is why most theories of science have been formalized into mathematical form.
The 1st law of thermodynamics:
E(t+1) = E(t) - U where 'E' is energy, 't' is time, and 'U' is work (or force over time). This is for any given system.
You cannot create energy out of nothing.
The 2nd law of thermodynamics:
e(t+1) >= e(t) where 'e' is entropy and 't' is time. This is also for any given system. The Church of Global Warming literally tries to heat a warmer surface using a colder gas.
You cannot trap thermal energy. You cannot trap heat.
It is also not possible to conflate two systems as if they were the same system. This kind of nonsense is common in the Church of Global Warming.
The Stefan-Boltzmann law:
r = C*e*t^4 where 'r' is radiance over a given area, 'C' is a natural constant, 'e' is a measured constant known as 'emissivity', or how well a surface absorbs or emits light, and 't' is temperature in deg K.
To measure emissivity, you must first accurately know the temperature of the emitting surface.
The temperature of Earth is unknown. It cannot be measured. Therefore, the emissivity of Earth is unknown, and cannot be measured.
If temperature goes up for any reason, radiance MUST also go up. It NEVER goes down if temperature goes up.
You cannot trap light.
NO gas or vapor is capable of warming the Earth. Not by a single degree.
