CO2- [...] somehow rises above the stratosphere. Something I find absurd as CO2 is denser than regular surface-level dry air, and certainly far more dense than any gases in the upper atmosphere.
gas expands to fill the entire volume of a container, yes, cool that down to 0degK and add gravity and you might see some stratification. but in a system where CO2 is heated by the sun so it collides with other gas molecules and subject it to 140mph jetstreams, then no, it's going to mingle with every other gas up to around 80km high.
CO2 doesn't warm the planet;
correct, the sun does that. CO2 insulates the planet by blocking the reflected IR from flying off into space. That's why the moon is cold and the earth is hot, despite both being heated by the sun from the same distance.

if you don't know something, it's a bad look to call everyone else stupid
it does make trees greener
correct, and if we could recover all the wasted space that niggers take up we could probably grow lots more of them. But we don't. also adding half a trillion trees won't actually solve the problem https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2927/examining-the-viability-of-planting-trees-to-help-mitigate-climate-change/

Air has greater heat capacity than CO2, air density changes with conditions(temp/pressure) to a much greater extent than CO2, so it's unlikely to rise in the same manner that air does as it's density doesn't change much with temp/atmospheric pressure, neither will its buoyancy.

I'd argue that water vapor is just as insulating as CO2 if not more so, but no one bothers to curb humidity do they....
Air has greater heat capacity than CO2
air contains CO2? either way the reason why the density of CO2 is irrelevant here is known, for the same reason they don't tell you to put CO detectors on the floor.

For the reasonable observation is that you can't stop water evaporation, but you can reduce CO2 emissions, so let's try and fix the fixable first?
air contains CO2?
Air has a lot of things, is air a molecule like H2O? CO has similar density to air, thus it diffuses in air much more readily than CO2.
but you can reduce CO2 emissions
Yeah by not breathing, try it, see how long that works out for ya.
No one claims co2 insulates and warms the planet.
Don't act smart then say something dumb.
The gas that primarily insulates the planet. The actual greenhouse gas. Is water vapor.
No, they claim that co2 acts more like (sorry this subject is too technical for me so suck my interpretation) a catalyst that increases the impact of each solar ray.
And they replicated this in small scale experiments and extropulated the finding to the scale of a planet and left out other variables like feed back mechanism from co2 being so damned useful to life on earth.
Which is why global warming alarmism has always failed to become scientific theory (it ain't science without predictions becoming true).
Leave out variables and your equation is useless

curious you think that is dumb, because that is exactly what they are saying... (well, the "CO2 insulates" bit anyway)
The gas that primarily insulates the planet. The actual greenhouse gas. Is water vapor.
(NASA water vapour accounts for about 50% of the absorption. Clouds 25%. Carbon dioxide 20%)
that is one of several gases that have a greenhouse effect, except that water vapour is self regulating, as soon as you accumulate enough of it it clumps together as a cloud and you get rain. Then the humidity drops
Conversely you can keep adding CO2 gas until we all die of heatstroke, there is a finite limit to the number of trees you could grow to counter this
OK stepping back to politeness.
Clearly we have different data sets.
MIT says water vapor is 97% of greenhouse gas. Makes sense because co2 only Makes up. 036% of the atmosphere. 1/120th of water vapor content.
Worse the claims that co2 absorbs heat therefor is a greenhouse gas is bullshit. Co2 is shitty at absorbing heat. Only at a very narrow spectrum. Worse the spectrum co2 absorbs heat overlaps methane and water which are stronger absorbers and much more prevalent meaning co2 actually absorbs very little heat. Which is why methane alone is 84 times Worse of a greenhouse gas than co2.
Potholer on youtube did the best explanation on the role co2 has in climate change hypothesis and its not as an insulator.
On phone so can't post sources but hope that these steers you away from reddit level over simplification of a complex system.
