Episode 12: Uncle Gomer Debunks Rosh Salgado D'Arcy's Debunk of William Happer

In this episode of Dubunk the Debunkers ( originally published as a video at: https://youtu.be/7TVoyh_JJak ) Uncle Gomer takes issue with Rosh Salgado D'Arcy's Debunking of Dr. William Happer's theory of CO2 saturation. The specific video that Uncle Gomer debunks in this episode is entitled, "The Science of CO2: Debunking the Saturation Myth," from Rosh's channel, All About Climate. For anyone who is genuinely curious about the notion of CO2 saturation and how it impacts the Earth's climate, I highly recommend that you watch this video.
