"...Imagine the composition of the Earths atmosphere as a football field. Most of the atmosphere is nitrogen. So, starting from the goal line, Nitrogen takes you all of the way to the seventy-eight-yard line. and most of whats left is oxygen. Oxygen takes you to the ninety-nine-yard line. Only one yard to go. But most of what remains is the intert gas Argon. Argon brings you within three and a half inches of the goal line. Thats pretty much the thickness of the chalk stripe, folks. And how much of the remaining three inches is carbon dioxide? One inch. thats how much CO2 we have in our atmosphere. One inch in a hundred-yard football field
You are told that carbon dioxide has increased in the last fifty years. Do you know how much it has increased, on our football field? It has increased by three-eights of an inch less than the thickness of a pencil. Its a lot more carbon dioxide, but its a minuscule change in our total atmosphere. Yet you are asked to believe that this tiny change has driven the entire planet into a dangerous warming period..."
