   Two remarkable things (consideing the source).

   The narrator clearly said “The Sun affects Earth’s climate” and, in enumerating “greenhouse gases”, listed water vapor ahead of CO2.

   Heads will roll. Maybe not quite as revealing as the NPR lunch tapes, but it’s a start.

     Yes, water vapor, but the EPA says water vapor is pollution, since it is a greenhouse gas. What’s worse, the Met or the EPA? I’d guess the EPA.

     “…..greenhouse gases are pollution.”

       She produces a lot of pollution. You can see it coming out of her mouth (in words) and invisible through breathing.
       Thanks “Amino Acids in Meteorites” for that clip.

     I’m amazed that illustration shows the reflection at the end of the atmosphere as the same location of the reflection by the greenhouse gases. The boundary between atmosphere and outer space is at the Kármán line at 100km.

     There air pressure is on the ground higher than in the higher region and this means that O, CO2, … is concentrated more on the ground.

     50% of the atmosphere by mass is below an altitude of 5.6 km (18,000 ft)

     90% of the atmosphere by mass is below an altitude of 16 km (52,000 ft). This means that about 90% (could someone find the exact percentage) of CO2 is below an altitude of 16 km.

   Met Office Explains That Climate Equals C02…No on this occasion I don’t think they did.

     They say “certain gases” … “acting like a greenhouse” – “water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane” – “called greenhouse gases” – “any changes will effect the earth temperature”

     The clip ends with temperature and not with climate. Why?
