Sigh. I'll bite.

The question seemed to assume it was a good question, and its premises were correct. They aren't. In fact, the CO2 DOES absorb incoming IR, and with the same cross-section, as it does outgoing IR. It doesn't "know which way the radiation is going."

Now, any honest thinker would realize that the question was silly, because it doesn't admit other mechanisms other than "blocking" [sic] of IR.

what is changing is how much we trap.

Why does this magic CO2 block outgoing IR, thus heating the Earth but not incoming IR, cooling the Earth? How does it know which way the radiation is going?

Think just a half-thought further, and question one of your assumptions. THEN you might have a point.

Oh but they can spy on you and they do. They record what is shown on the screen, often as periodic snapshots, to determine what you are watching. It does not matter that you use chromecast; as long as it displays on your screen, the TV Can record it.

And they sneak in and swap out a memory card when you're not home?

Actually, Trump is not a singular cause. He was not the first. Back under reagan, he killed a great deal of our civilian oriented R&D saying that private business can do it , while moving some to DARPA. Thankfully, DARPA still funded basic science.
Then W did more cuts, but pushed a lot of DARPA spending in UNI over to companies and forced cuts in basic science.
Biden also did major changes and pushed funding to go from merit based to DEI.
Trump is just a continuation of this and not even the worst ( reagan or W were the worst ).
