Nature Devours all CO2 Equally
Some scientists claim that anthropogenic (human-produced) CO2 (carbon dioxide) lasts in the atmosphere for hundreds or even thousands of years. Of course, they also think that CO2 is the mother of all evils and, therefore, argue that the world needs to decarbonize, forget about using fossil resources (coal, oil, gas), and reduce the population from seven billion to one billion humans.
Well, if thats so, the world must be suffering from CO2 exhalations by the ancient Sumerians, Egyptians, Romans, and everyone else who lived since that time.
How much CO2 is in the Air?
On a percentage basis, there is approximately 0.04% (or 400 ppm [parts per million]) CO2 in the air; (all numbers here are rounded to the nearest integer, just to keep things simple and not to get lost in small numerical details). Well, 0.04% does not sound like much, but when you consider the entire atmosphere, its a lot of tiny carbon dioxide molecules. Just to give you an idea as to how many there are, we need to count all gas molecules in the air first.
Geologically speaking, the earth is in a DROUGHT of CO2.
Once upon a time I had great respect for scientists.
A combination of the global warming crap claiming to be scientific, and personally knowing some absolute flunkies that claim to be scientists, I now know better.
The thought has crossed my mind more than once that I may have breathed the very same air, or washed in the same water, as this or that ancient soul. I have a collection of tsunami water for sale on eBay, too.
“Numerous independent studies have conclusively shown that the mean residence time of CO2 in the air is in the range of five to 10 years only.”
Fast turn around.

There's still plenty of fine scientists worthy of your respect. The problem is their voices have been drowned out by the government-university-media complex that's hell-bent on tearing down real scientific data and replacing it with one-world junk-science Marxist swill. A deliberately dumbed-down public and a couple of generations of academic indoctrination have made their subversive task much easier.
