You don't have a clue. Your experiment called for changing the atmosphere inside a greenhouse or car from a normal mix of gasses to all CO2 and then measure the temperature. You boldly predicted that there would be no measurable difference between the two gas mixtures. According to you, this would prove that increasing CO2 in the atmosphere doesn't really affect global temperatures. Here's exactly what you wrote, pasted from page 3: 




Hey, genius. 


Yo, Einstein.


They call it the "greenhouse effect" because a greenhouse makes a good model of how the atmosphere warms the Earth. Greenhouse gasses emit infared radiation, but then trap some of it. This makes the Earth warmer than it otherwise would be.

When they use a greenhouse as a model, IT'S THE GLASS that plays the role of the atmosphere. Changing the mix of gases within the greenhouse is beside the point. 


Get it?


Here, let me try it this way. If you want to run your "little experiment," but this time in a way that actually models the greenhouse effect, take a temperature of a greenhouse with some windows open. Then close windows while taking temperatures. As more and more windows close, the temperature increases. Closing the windows mimics the process of pumping more CO2 and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.


Geeze. You've had half a week to think about this, and still stubbornly persist with your bizarre "little experiment."


Wow. The power of ideology...
