If the sun died tomorrow C02 would have no effect whatsoever or do you disagree ?

The sun is the fundamental driver of all weather. Without the sun carbon dioxide would just be dry ice, unable to affect anything.

Wouldn't go that far Col . Dry ice is used a lot in entertainment so agreed there would eventually be nearly total extinction but the stage productions would be spectacular.

Actually on a serious note surely as long as there is an internal pool of molten magma then those slithers of life like tube worms and certain shrimps.that have evolved on chemical synthesis will surely carry on , until the oceans freeze all the way to the bottom.

So of our atmosphere was composed, say, entirely of nitrogen, there
would be no weather?

If the sun died tomorrow then the time for the Earth to become a snowball earth would depend on how much co2 was in the atmosphere. The Sun dies every day everywhere on Earth, and CO2 decides where the snowline lies. Think about it!

I did not say that. But we would have a Snowball Earth.

So the more C02 the better, so what are you moaning about. Think about it.

There'd be weather all right and it would be colder. But there'd be no-one to record it.

Hmm 'snowball earth' but can people survive just on advocate and lemonade, I mean it won't be fizzy for a start with no C02 and that's without the nutritional issue.
