[[But our opponents, by contrast, are not shaken or deterred. They are resolute and they are militant, and they will never concede so much as a matchstick. ]]

Exactly, and speaking of matchsticks, I often give the analogy that claiming that man’s piddly 0.0037% CO2 in atmosphere is causing global warming is akin to:

Standing in a domed football arena, lighting a match a couple of times a year, (heck we can even let it burn all the way down) and then claiming we’re causing ‘catastrophic climate change within the dome”-

Because a couple of matches burned per year in a doems arena s is pretty much the equivalent heat content that the 0.0037% CO2 in our atmosphere captures and back radiates to earth- it’s simply shameful that these comunists are suggesting that our CO2 is, in their words “Almost entirely responsible for global climate change’ and that ‘we are 98% sure man is causing climate change”

They should be ASHAMED of themselves!

One example (there were more) of CO₂ output sufficient to change atmospheric composition was the "K/T Boundary Extinction" (end of Cretaceous), when giant worldwide fires caused by the Mexican Chicxulub bolide (meteor) impact incinerated most of the world's forests (the sky rained molten, red-hot glass all around the world), and acoustic convergence and constructive interference caused giant earthquakes on the opposite side of the world underneath India, cracking the Indian continental crust and allowing a flow of basalt lava at the surface in a many-miles-wide fracture zone hundreds of miles long, that vomited volcanic gases into the atmosphere and flowed molten basalt thicks several thousand feet thick over a period of about 10,000,000 years. THAT is what it takes to do the kinds of things the AGW alarmists are woofing about.
