Experimental Proof that Carbon Dioxide does NOT Cause Global Warming

Multiple instances of reductions in atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) levels were examined, and it was found that the only climatic effect was from reduced levels of anthropogenic SO2 aerosol pollution in the atmosphere. There were no instances of the hypothesized cooling from reduced CO2 levels.


Introduction
Albert Einstein's "General Theory of Relativity" was published in 1915, and was just an unproven theory until it was tested and proven to be correct. The test involved determining whether the observed position of a distant star would shift, as its light passed by close to the gravity of our sun, as should be observable during a total eclipse. The theory was tested during the total eclipse of 1919, and the predicted shift occurred, thus validating his theory.
In sharp contrast, the "Greenhouse Gas" effect, first proposed by Joseph Fourier about 200 years ago, and later worked on by John Tyndall, Svante Arrhenius, and others, has never been tested and empirically validated on a global scale. Thus, it is still just a hypothesis. It has long been thought that such a test would be impossible, given the size of our globe and the volume of our atmosphere. This, however, appears not to be correct.
Collectively, over the years, the peoples of Earth have spent trillions of dollars in an effort to reduce or control the amount of man-made (anthropogenic) CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, in the belief that rising levels of CO2 are responsible for the increases in average anomalous global temperatures that have occurred since the late 1970"s, and if not contained, will cause even more warming. http://www.scholink.org/ojs/index.php/se Sustainability in Environment Vol. 5, No. 3, 2020 92 Published by SCHOLINK INC.
If warming due to increasing levels of CO2 in the atmosphere were correct, then it would follow that decreased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere would necessarily have a cooling effect.
The obvious test, then, would be to reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, and to observe whether the expected cooling occurs.

Method
As it turns out, this experiment has already been performed multiple times since the start of the Industrial Revolution (circa, 1850). into the atmosphere. Since most emitting sources are normally in essentially constant operation, those emissions that settle out are quickly replaced, so that they are always present in the atmosphere, until they are shut down.

Result
CO2 was found to have no climatic effect. Instead, Earth's temperatures were found to be extremely sensitive to changing levels of SO2 aerosols in the atmosphere, of either volcanic or anthropogenic origin.

Discussion
The climatic effect of reduced of reduced industrial activity is examined in the following Figure 1, which is a listing of all American business recessions since 1857, together with the anomalous temperature changes that occurred for each recession, for which data was available. Volcanic data included is from "Volcanoes of the World" third edition (2010). Although the tonnage of decreases in CO2 emissions during a recession, were, on average, for these representative examples, at least 60X greater than those of SO2, only the decrease in SO2 emissions affected the climate. Clearly, the decrease in CO2 emissions had no effect.

its presence will cause temperatures to rise, as during a recession.
Note that the polar regions are largely free of circulating SO2 aerosol emissions, which may explain the accelerated warming of those areas.

The following Figure 3 is an actual SO2 scan from the Aura/OMI satellite. Note the SO 2 emissions from Mauna Loa, and the background haze of SO2 over the Pacific Ocean surrounding the islands.
Being a shield volcano, its SO2 emissions were not injected into the stratosphere, in this instance, and this June 2013 event does not appear on the Smithsonian list of volcanic eruptions.

Conclusion
Multiple instances\of decreases in the amounts of CO2 and SO2 emissions into the atmosphere, resulting from American business cycles, were examined. It was found that the ONLY climatic effect was increased temperatures due to reduced SO2 pollution of the atmosphere. The hypothesized cooling effect from reduced CO2 emissions was completely absent.
Therefore, if cooler temperatures are desired, it will be necessary to re-introduce SO2 (or some similar dimming substance) into the atmosphere, ideally high over the ENSO region of the Pacific Ocean.
There, prevailing winds would carry it harmlessly around the globe, as now happens with volcanic SO2.
Currently, sporadic periods of cooling are being provided by random volcanic eruptions, and/or increased anthropogenic SO2 emissions.
