i think when it gets a 5 degree temp change here in sd where i live we are expecting something like 130f average days
if so, i would ned to fix my air conditioner
(or build an ionic breese the size of several skyscrapers to
co2 ->c+o2
ch4->c+2h2

This isn't how our world works. There is no energy trapped or "held" in our atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is like a blanket around our planet - it does not trap energy, it just slows the movement of heat, both coming in and going out. Again, there is no significant energy trapped any place in the atmosphere - changes in air composition just make heat move faster or slower. The only part of the sun's energy that is actually held on earth is that from chemical processes or photosynthesis. The rest of the energy is just moved around and eventually radiated back out to space. The greenhouse effect has no ability to hold any energy.
