The name "mythbusters" already makes this a suspect as a propaganda
vehicle. Note that all this proves is that one can measure the thermal
characteristics of PURE CO2 and CH4!

They simulated the Earth by shining a light
through the clear mylar on one side onto
a black painted surface at the other side.
the greenhouse gas chambers were warmer
and melted more ice than the control groups.
They confirmed that CO2 and CH4 can cause
greenhouse warming.

BZZZZZTTT! Wrong question. The right question is can CO2 cause ENOUGH
so-called "global-warming" to be significant. Hence to REALLY "bust"
the myth the experiment would have two chambers one with today's air.
And the other with a mixture of air as measured about 1850 or some
other convenient pre-anthropogenic date. If today's air is melting
huge chunks of ice and yesterday's air is not, perhaps THEN you'll
have "busted" a "myth".

It is a shameful thing to abuse children with fake political
propaganda like this. This is almost as shameful as the Nobel Prize
going to Algore who cleverly reversed cause and effect between ocean
temperature and dissolved CO2.

Uh, the oceans are gaining CO2. The CO2 in the air is coming from
fossil fuel burning, as its isotopic ratios prove.

It is a shameful thing when doofuses of the highest order pretend to
be scientists here.
