[[The amount of methane estimated to come from oil and gas production, transmission and distribution rose from 8.75 million tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent to 12.32 million tons during that period]]
While,this sounds like a lot, it is really just a drop in the ocean. Our atmosphere is over 6 quadrillion tons, and a few million tons added to it is like dumping a 5 gallon pails of water into the ocean- it is meaningless, and no, it is not accumu.ative- nature has measures in place to deal with it. Our total contribution to greenhouse gases amounts to just 0.004% or so of the atmosphere-
To put that in perspective in order to show how small that amount really is, take a piece of cloth that is just 0.004% of your body- this square of cloth would measure about a fraction of an inch. Now go out into 0 degree weather wearing only thst small square of cloth and ask yourself “self... are you burning up from excessive heat? Will you die of overheating from the square of cloth you are wearing?”
The answer of course is no. It’s rediculous to think that 0.004% of the atmosphere can possibly heat our globe to decimating degree! There is no “thick blanket of greenhouse gases coml,etely covering the globe (or even majorly covering it), causing catastrophic world heating! There is only a tiny tiny ultra thin layer that takes up only 0.004% of our atmosphere. Nowhere near enough to cause catastrophic heat
We aren’t gonna burst into flames unless God sets the world on fire himself, and we have a guaranteed 1007 more years left- likely even mkre!
Woops- that should be 0.04% not 0.004% 0.004% is roughly man’s contribution to the 0.04% in the atmosphere. 0.04% is still way way to small to be “to blame “ for climate change! There is no way 0.04% of our atmosphere can cause catastrophic heating like the left are claiming.
