Shrinking, shrinking, shrinking

Aaah, the joys of aging. HA! I once saw a bumper that says it well. That unforgettable piece of mobile philosophy said “The Golden Years Suck”.

Dear Editor, The Greenhouse effect is not feasible because Co2 does not hold heat for long periods of time when separated from it’s heat source. Much of air pollution that is emitted falls to the ground, becomes smog, and is absorbed into the ground. Much of it is also dissipated and diluted by air. Raw Co2 is therefore the prominent chemical element. As stated before, Co2 does not trap heat for long after being separated from it’s heat source, almost immediately in fact. Therefore, whatever Co2 reaches close to the atmosphere could only trap heat from the sun, which would…
