Yes, and that’s been the line of thinking taught in schools and every discussion I’ve read on this topic for at least 20 years. Yet, there never seems to be any concrete proof that heating is being caused by excess energy being trapped inside the atmosphere because “emissions”. Again, it’s all very hand wavy.
I’m not saying that’s NOT the method of action, it totally could be, but I would think there would be more evidence nowadays compared to 20 years ago but there doesn’t seem to be. Everyone just parrots everyone else.
I’m just thinking of Occam’s razor. Perhaps the planet is getting hotter because were just producing a fuckload of heat. It doesn’t need to be anywhere near the energy the planet captures from the sun. But day after day, over decades, surely the minuscule amount of heat being generated by activity on the surface has SOME cumulative effect. Or maybe not, i dont know.
