It’s easy to understand the basics.  The single most important thing to learn about before anything else makes sense, is that we have an atmosphere, about 99% of it is nitrogen and  oxygen, within the remaining 1% is a small amount of greenhouse gases.

They are called greenhouse gases because of the way they allow the Sun’s ultraviolet rays through, but then when that gets converted to heat and infrared radiation, that gets inhibited, slowed down, in its escape from Earth.

The burning of fossils fuels has been unleashing stupendous, unbelievable amounts of these greenhouse gases into our atmosphere.  (#1)

That means basically that our atmosphere is slowing down more and more infrared radiation.  Dad, do you know what infrared radiation is?  Heat.

That means that within our global heat and moisture distribution engine, (that is basically our atmosphere, oceans, landmasses, cryosphere, biosphere where that heat builds up, and gets distributed around our planet by various currents.  (#2)

This is what manmade global warming is all about.    (#3)

Those simple facts are supported by mountains worth of real world data and observations.  Previous I’ve shared resources that will teach you about the detail, but you appear to have utter contempt for doing homework or learning – I’m supposed to provide a magical spell and puff like the blind in the preachers tent you will see.  Life doesn’t work like that.  If you have your heart set against learning any of this, which is what your comments convey, you’ll never learn a thing.

Carbon dioxide peaks near 420 parts per million at Mauna Loa observatory
Atmospheric carbon dioxide measured at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory peaked for 2021 in May at a monthly average of 419 parts per million (ppm), the highest level since accurate measurements began 63 years ago, scientists from NOAA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego announced today.

Scripps’ scientist Charles David Keeling initiated on-site  measurements of carbon dioxide, or CO2, at NOAA’s weather station on Mauna Loa in 1958. NOAA began measurements in 1974, and the two research institutions have made complementary, independent observations ever since.

Our climate is absorbing a lot of heat. When scientists add up all of the heat warming the oceans, land, and atmosphere and melting the ice, they find our climate is accumulating 4 Hiroshima atomic bombs worth of heat every second.

This warming is due to more heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The burning of fossil fuels means we are emitting billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. This is the main contributor to global warming.

To communicate the sheer amount of heat our planet is accumulating, we have created this widget,  (Friday at about 11:40, Our climate had accumulated
3,020,153,037 Hiroshima atomic bombs of heat since 1998.       https: // 4hiroshimas_info
