CO2 Scientific Experiment

This is an experiment I thought up. I wanted to see what would happen if I caused a reaction from mixing vinegar with baking soda. Yes it did expand and produced water and CO2 gas. Then I discovered that it remove the oxygen from the air. I discovered this when I tested it with a lighter, it put the flame out. And I discovered that the CO2 stayed inside the milk carton long after the reaction for weeks and continues too. I also discovered that the CO2 appears to be heavier than our atmosphere with oxygen because it does not rise above the top of the milk carton. However in our atmosphere it gets mixed by moving wind. Water vapor and CO2, however, act like a cap, making it more difficult for Earth to get rid of this energy. Without gases like these to absorb the energy, our planet’s average surface temperature would have been near zero degrees Fahrenheit. About 99 percent of the atmosphere is made of oxygen and nitrogen, which cannot absorb the infrared radiation the Earth emits. Notice the design? Of the remaining 1 percent, the main molecules that can absorb infrared radiation are CO2 and water vapor, because their atoms are able to vibrate in just the right way to absorb the energy that the Earth gives off. After these gases absorb the energy, they emit half of it back to Earth and half of it into space, trapping some of the heat within the atmosphere. This trapping of heat is what we call the greenhouse effect. This causes plants to grow. Because of the greenhouse effect created by these trace gases, the average temperature of the Earth is around 15˚C, or 59˚F, which allows for life to exist.
What about weather change? If you look this up on the Internet, you will find nothing but false information and propaganda. I had to look for a Christian viewpoint to find the truth. What is the truth? Americans are all too familiar with environmental activists' gloomy propaganda of global crises, including the assertion that mankind's gaseous carbon dioxide emissions will inevitably send the planet into an irreversible greenhouse sweat box. Then how come plants and animals lived longer and grew larger when the dinosaurs were here? https://www.icr.org/article/7568 In contrast, ICR articles have noted how belief in atheistic evolution largely underpins the common view of a doomed planet under no direction from a creator. Some of those same articles introduced the idea that God-designed systems maintain healthy levels of atmospheric gases required for life. So how should the news that the world's forests are greening because of increased carbon dioxide be interpreted to fit a mindless random process?
Materialistic evolutionist atheists ignore the fact that God designed everything with a purpose. They assume we are a driverless natural world headed for destruction without man's or Biden's meddling. Man thinks he is a god.

Forest scientists have been watching a pleasant trend, even amidst unpleasant environmentalist globalist diatribes—the world's forests are expanding, even in arid regions. The trees are growing without any extra water. All they needed was more carbon dioxide.

A recent collaboration of scientists analyzed carbon dioxide data taken from decades-old monitoring stations. They found that forests "have become dramatically more efficient in how they use water," according to Harvard news. And the key to that efficiency was an uptick in atmospheric carbon dioxide. Plants simply find it easier to extract carbon dioxide from air that has more of it—which they then use for more efficient photosynthesis. I plan to do an experiment with plants to test this.

Though he was quick to say that the biosphere's future might still collapse, Trevor Keenan, lead author of the secular paper published in Nature, told Harvard news, "This could be considered a beneficial effect of increased atmospheric carbon dioxide."

Keenan also said, "What's surprising is we didn't expect the effect to be this big. A large proportion of the ecosystems in the world are limited by water—they don't have enough water during the year to reach their maximum potential growth. If they become more efficient at using water, they should be able to take more carbon out of the atmosphere due to higher growth rates."

So, in effect, the world's forests are helping sequester excess carbon dioxide, all without any human intervention.

And it appears that the warming trend itself proceeded primarily without human intervention, too. A decrease in the rate of warming within the last fifteen years has surprised many climate scientists. Although still in the minority, a growing number of them link weather trends to solar activity. The upcoming 5th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is expected to address this "hot" topic. The failure of climate models to anticipate this decrease in the rate of warming may have resulted from a failure to link solar activity with warming.

Trees have been indispensable throughout history for the ways they have directly benefitted human and animal life. This news of a greening planet brings yet another reason to thank God for trees. Forests help balance levels of atmospheric gases integral to living things.
