The tropics and sub-tropics are the engine of world’s weather.

Almost all evaporation takes place in the tropics, 24/7/365

Any harm to rainforests, due to clearcutting, extinguishes its flora and fauna

Clearcutting rain forests for ranching and crops 1) decreases the beneficial evaporation of former rain forest areas, and 2) causes more sunlight on clearcut areas, both of which have contributed to increased world temperatures, likely more than CO2 ever will.

In the tropics, water vapor, at 27,300 ppm, a strong GHG, at least 65 times more abundant near the surface than CO2, significantly contributes to warming the atmosphere from -18 C (no atmosphere) to + 15 C, or 33 C

Could CO2, at 420 ppm, a weak GHG with a 0.042% presence, contribute to warming the atmosphere by up to 33/65 = 0.5 C, an effect that would be about 24 times its presence? That is too outrageous to even consider. See URL

CO2, a weak IR photon absorber, plays almost no role absorbing IR photons compared to WV, a strong IR photon absorber, which absorbs much of IR surface photons via its many absorption windows.

.

At 16 C surface temp, 15-micrometer photons are only 7% of all surface photons, which very much limits the absorption of such photons by CO2, because far more abundant WV also has a 15-mictometer window.

.

Any IR photons not absorbed by WV lose their energy by collision with 99+% more abundant air molecules.

Almost all IR surface photons will lose their energy/cease to exist, about 10 meter from the surface.

.

WV, being light, 18, compared to air, 29, rises until about 2000 m, where cooler temperatures condense it into clouds. WV ppm is greatly decreased from about 17,700 ppm near the surface to about 800 ppm at 5500 meter.

CO2 does not play any meaningful role regarding IR photon absorption, until WV ppm is greatly reduced, which is above the clouds

Any higher-altitude IR photons are colder, have less energy, have longer wavelengths that mostly are beyond the 

15-micrometer absorption window of CO2.

Any such IR photons not absorbed by CO2, may:

.

1) lose their energy by collision with hugely abundant air molecules, which are spaced far apart, due to low density, or

2) travel towards outer space, or

3) travel towards earth.

.

In all instances, this IR photon activity above the clouds has a very small impact, compared to IR photon impact at the surface, which, each day, evaporates and lifts huge quantities of WV to about 2000 m, especially in the tropics and sub-tropics.

Water Cycle

Evaporation and winds combine to move water from the ocean to the air, about 361 x 10^12 m3/y

Precipitation moves 324 x 10^12 m3/y to the ocean

Precipitation moves 99 x 10^12 m3/y to the land

Land moves 62 x 10^12 m3/y to the atmosphere

Land holds 33.6 x 10^15 m3

Runoff/groundwater to ocean 37 x 10^12 m3/y

Oceans hold 1.35 x 10^18 m3/y

New England is Slowly Rising, Florida is Slowly Sinking

The US northeast is slowly rising, because it used to have a mile of ice on it.
However, the US east coast area, south of New York City, is slowly sinking, because it never had any ice on it.
The sinking is due to natural forces, such as tectonic plate movement.

The Dutch built huge dikes after 1953, because about 40% of the country is up to SIX METERS below sea level, such as Rotterdam with over 1.1 million people.

I lived there and saw the dikes being built. Many of them are large enough for 4-lane divided highways. Why waste good land?

You drive on them, and on one side is the water about 10 meter down, and on the other side are cities and towns, about 10 meter down, where the water table is controlled within one inch with pumping stations. The system is designed for a 10,000 year flood.

No liberal arts journalists would ever write this, because it is way above their heads. They stick to the over-simplified, scare-mongering talking points provided as PR releases by a mostly Western cabal consisting of the IPCC, Corporate Media, self-serving elite $stakeholders, bureaucrats and associated entities.
