Debunking the 'Heat Only Rises' Claim
Atmospheric carbon dioxide can warm the earth's surface, contrary to claims that heat only rises.
Experts state that CO2 transfers heat in all directions, including downwards, through radiation, which is how it warms the planet.
Having reached the air, CO2 no longer has any possible heating effect... Have you forgotten what we learned at school, that heat goes UP??
This process can be observed using scientific instruments, proving that warm air rises but heat is transferred in all directions.
AAP FACTCHECK confirms that the claim is false and defies climate science.
