[[I am happy they are trying to lower our carbon footprint]]
Why? There’s no reason to- man’s CO2 takes up just 0.00136% of the atmosphere- nowhere near enough to be causing global climate change, even IF carbon was responsible for climate change, which is isn’t- records show temps rise first- then 100’s of years later- nearly 1000 years later, CO2 rises- this proves CO2 is not driving climate change in and of itself-
That's correct: http://joannenova.com.au/2009/12/carbon-rises-800-years-after-temperatures/ The first chart shows a rise of almost 100 ppm after the temperature rise of 11C or so. To get the current rise in CO2 from 280 to 410 ppm (plus 2.5 more each year), there would have to have been a temperature rise of 12C or more (mainly in the oceans) 500 to 1000 years ago.
That didn't happen. The current rise in CO2 is, for the most part, not from past warming. Some of it is, but only a small portion. That portion is probably 5-10 ppm out of the total rise, due to warming over the past few centuries.
