If you are not addressing the global energy problem, then you are part of it, unfortunately, though you probably have the best of intentions, if you don't question where your own energy comes from, the energy you need to live, then you will carry on doing the damage we all do living on energy extracted from the planet by profit.
If you are a formal scientist, part of the established "Scientific community" then your money probably comes ultimately from for-profit companies. Those companies will have shareholders who put their money in, expecting more back in return, in terms of energy, all money converted to energy at market rates per KWhr.
Or maybe you have shares in such companies and your income comes from this.
Anyhow, there is profit in addressing carbon capture as a business, and there is energy from profit to be gained by carbon taxes, and this appears to have had some influence, in deciding whether or not an adiabatic atmosphere can or can't support an effect of greenhouse gases.
The change in Earth albedo measured by satellites does not by itself explain the energy needed to increase the thermal mass of the planet, so we use the theory of greenhouse gases to imply more of the energy of the sun is trapped on the planet by the atmosphere than thought previously. This gives us an ambiguous fudge factor that is highly arguable, but perfect for making profit.
However, identification of false culprits always covers up the real perpetrator, which can be embarrassing when the real perpetrator finally is outed.
Look at the bills you pay for utilities energy, assuming you still have those, or imagine someone else's bills if you happen to be off-grid, receiving power from solar.
Convert all money to KWhrs at market rates and notice you have to pay more KWhrs in the form of money to the utilities energy company than they supply to you as electricity and / or gas.
They have to do this to make profit, but it was never supply of enetgy to you, actually it was energy taken from you, which would impoverish you, if you can't find a way to replace it, by earing an income, or perhaps being lucky enough to have earned enough income previously to now be living from investments made, such as shares, which could be in utilities energy companies, or any business for profit.
What do we do with investments - we put a little in to get a lot more back out. This is profit, always energy profit, and this propagates back to the planet in all cases, because only the planet can provide more energy out, in response to a little put in for any length of time, (about 2000 years, it seems).
This energy being removed from the planet is destruction, the constant process of converting things which were not heat, to heat, by heat lost in extraction and refinement, before we get the product yielded. If the product is electricity or fuel, most of this is also converted to heat by the end user.
All of this is roughly quantifiable, and when applied to the thermal mass of the planet, Lo, it gives us the expected temperature rise.
So the culprit was never greenhouse gases, it was always profit, and this explains perfectly why 30 odd years of work done around COP28 never resulted in any change towards producing less temperature rise, it all produced more, not less.
It was acceleration of monetised destruction / increased profits.
So it's true CO2 has increased, but that is not the cause of the existential issue which is rise of temperature, the latter is actually just down to profit.
If we want to fix that, we have to reverse it. We need to reverse increase of entropy.
To do that we just need to identify the energy that can do it, and this can only be energy added to Earth by an external source, ie the sun.
We can't do it by windpower, hydro, or even geothermal.
So we see all the terminology of renewables, net zero, carbon capture, that entire philosophy is actually just a profit driven set of lies, needed to sustain business for profit, which is the thing really doing the damage.
Sorry if you never read this, or heard this before, it's because all platforms, more business for profit, all collude to suppress this information which is the physical end of profit.
Its a live thing, it really does try to silence us, if we have anything to say about profit.
Apologies for typos, it's a battle against non optional spell checkers trying to second guess what we are talking about, when they were never programed to make sense of non profit, and it's worst on Medium Android app.
