Greenhouse Gases' Heat Trapping Ability Hasn't Saturated As Some Predicted - But Why?

28 Oct 2025 | Abstracted from IFL Science

Greenhouse Gases article accurately debunks the myth that CO₂'s heat-trapping ability is saturated. Greenhouse gases continue to warm the planet because radiation escapes from higher, colder layers as concentrations rise. This reduces energy loss to space and increases surface warming. Satellite and surface data confirm ongoing radiative forcing, and climate models show a logarithmic relationship - each CO? doubling adds similar warming. The science is solid and widely accepted.
