NASA's Langley Research Center has collated data proving that “greenhouse gases” actually block up to 95 percent of harmful solar rays from reaching our planet, thus reducing the heating impact of the sun. The data was collected by Sounding of the Atmosphere using Broadband Emission Radiometry, (or SABER). SABER monitors infrared emissions from Earth’s upper atmosphere, in particular from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), two substances thought to be playing a key role in the energy balance of air above our planet’s surface. NASA's Langley Research Center instruments show that the thermosphere not only received a whopping 26 billion kilowatt hours of energy from the sun during a recent burst of solar activity, but that in the upper atmospheric carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide molecules sent as much as 95% of that radiation straight back out into space. [/quote] [quote]For the three day period, March 8th through 10th, the thermosphere absorbed 26 billion kWh of energy. Infrared radiation from CO2 and NO, the two most efficient coolants in the thermosphere, re-radiated 95% of that total back into space.[/quote] So does CO2 help cool or heat the world?
How does this debunk global warming? Global warming is till taking place. This only shows that co2 might not have the effect on global warming as we thought. Stupid title.
Imagine if we captured all of that energy.

This I thought isn't a new thing. We've always known that green house gases protect us from the large portion of space radiation out there. It's the 5% that gets in and can't escape, for the same reason that 95% can't get in, that we get warming, the 5% is stuck and rebounds everywhere, heating the planet. The NASA website says nothing about climate change being debunked. Yeah I've read the other articles, they're just jumping to conclusions. This is definitely not what NASA has discovered.

So we have naturalnews and a site I've never heard of claiming that global warming is debunked, and the source they both share is a NASA press release that says nothing to the effect?
They're climate change denialists. This is definitely a sensationalist headline. You can tell as soon as one of the articles claims they've admitted a "stall in warming" which is not what is happening at all, the trend is still toward warming. They don't know what they're talking about.

Get better sources.
