So yeah, the thing is, Im going to keep using you guys to help me with my future research [i really am that eager to my reports weeks in advance, quite strange for a uni student I know!] Well I've read a few books [i.e glaciers & glaciation by benn & evans etc] And they all summarise, that the world is a "closed system". Going on the principles, it is subjected to change, and infrequent patterns in ocean & atmospheric currents show that this "system" is changing. To minimise it, or not, I haven't a clue. Yet. Also, the relative matter gained and loss is negligable, so it points towards the "closed system" idea... However, matter is still lost, and it is subjected to change from outside the system as well, which supports the open system Idea... My lecturer did say to me, it has characteristics of both... But if you were going to catagorise it, what would you class it as? (This links into my report, and how if we're changing this world, will it shift to minimise this change, and bring about a short period of global cooling, instead of everyone's anticipated "tipping point") Thanks, Rob

Thank you both, I think these'll come in very handy. I think Ill use the latter, as it shows both at sea level, and high atmosphere. Thanking you again

Hello, Im rob, came across this forum as I was trolling the web for some useful facts to prove CO2 isn't as big and scary as everyone says. Im only young (19) so be tender... Just started my first year of a Masters in Climate Science, I've taken my time to post on here, had a lot of work recently D:

Hi, I'm a first year student doing climatology. I've been given a bit of research to do. Does anyone know of a link to a site that shows the infrared absorption of CO2 and H2O etc? I've looked and can't seem to find a decent site [And the internet at uni doesn't seem to help -.-] But all I find is just pointless pages on CO2 which I've read like 80 times before... Thank you if you can help, but its not majorly important, it'll just help me with my report I'll be starting in a few weeks Rob
