Probably not. Amongst the subjects that I had to study on the way to
getting my Ph.D. in physical chemistry were infra-red spectroscopy and

broadening" is and why it is important.

Oh goodie! Then you understand that the CO2 bands can't possibly
absorb enough energy to be an effective "greenhouse gas" for climate
change!

There are - of course - whole areas of climate science where I am
probably nearly as clueless as Eeyore, but at least I do know what CO2
does and how it does it.

Then as a physical Chemist you understand that dissolved CO2 is DRIVEN
OFF of the oceans by a rise in water temperature leading to an
increase in atmospheric CO2 NOT (as Algore has disingenuously
suggested) the opposite where CO2 atmospheric levels are supposed to
control ocean temperatures!

So given that you know all this, you are therefore aware that CO2
CANNOT be driving Global Climate Change and the whole sceme is a huge
political scam.
