That is in addition to what we call "chaos theory" that relates to tiny changes in the initial conditions that amplify with time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theory

Chaos theory is a branch of mathematics and an interdisciplinary area of scientific study. It focuses on underlying patterns and deterministic laws of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions. These were once thought to have completely random states of disorder and irregularities.[1] The theory states that within the apparent randomness of chaotic complex systems, there are underlying patterns, interconnection, constant feedback loops, repetition, self-similarity, fractals and self-organization.[2] The butterfly effect, an underlying principle of chaos, describes how a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state (meaning there is sensitive dependence on initial conditions).[3] A metaphor for this behavior is that a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause or prevent a tornado in Texas

Introduction to the Electromagnetic Spectrum

https://science.nasa.gov/ems/01_intro/


Diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum from radio waves to gamma rays, showing wavelengths, frequencies, atmospheric windows, and examples like radios, cell phones, microwaves, infrared heat, visible light, UV sunburn, X-rays, and nuclear power.


Our Protective Atmosphere

 

Our Sun is a source of energy across the full spectrum, and its electromagnetic radiation bombards our atmosphere constantly. However, the Earth's atmosphere protects us from exposure to a range of higher energy waves that can be harmful to life. Gamma rays, x-rays, and some ultraviolet waves are "ionizing," meaning these waves have such a high energy that they can knock electrons out of atoms. Exposure to these high-energy waves can alter atoms and molecules and cause damage to cells in organic matter. These changes to cells can sometimes be helpful, as when radiation is used to kill cancer cells, and other times not, as when we get sunburned.

Atmospheric Windows

Electromagnetic radiation is reflected or absorbed mainly by several gases in the Earth's atmosphere, among the most important being water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone. Some radiation, such as visible light, largely passes (is transmitted) through the atmosphere. These regions of the spectrum with wavelengths that can pass through the atmosphere are referred to as "atmospheric windows." Some microwaves can even pass through clouds, which make them the best wavelength for transmitting satellite communication signals.

 

While our atmosphere is essential to protecting life on Earth and keeping the planet habitable, it is not very helpful when it comes to studying sources of high-energy radiation in space. Instruments have to be positioned above Earth's energy-absorbing atmosphere to "see" higher energy and even some lower energy light sources such as quasars.

Won’t the plants, ocean, and soil just absorb all the excess CO2?

 Eventually … in several thousand years or so.

metmike: WRONG!!!!!!!!!

Here is the biggest reason for why this will run its course and never be a huge deal!       

Fossil fuels are finite and they will start RUNNING OUT in a few decades!  The highest that CO2 levels could possibly get is 600 ppm and we will likely peak closer to 500 ppm!!!!

But hold on now, fossil fuels running out WILL BE the huge problem NOT THE END OF THE PROBLEM!!!

Not just fossil fuels but most other natural resources ARE FINITE!  

There are well over 8 billion humans on the planet and potentially headed to 10 billion. We consume massive amounts of natural resources. We will NOT be able to consume many of them at the current rate for the next 100 years because they will be running out. 

Forget the climate crisis, we have an OVER CONSUMPTION CRISIS!!!!
