AlGore - Natural CO2 is heavier than man-made CO2. Is this true?

Maybe he's got CO2 "extra chromosomes" mixed up.

That is why Mars is not able to warm up.

But Mars IS warming. I guess that little battery-powered SUV we sent up there was too much for its climate to handle.

Can you make koolaid with heavy water?8-)

I think he is full of crap hotair there.

Another reason Clinton was impeached and not thrown out of office.

FFS if it was heavier it wouldn't be CO2 then would it?

[dalereed]

Only if your name is Gore!

It it's true, is it of any Earthly consequence?

Re post 100; temperature changes the issue.

I was listening to the hearings and just heard AlGore say that natural CO2, such as CO2 produced by volcanos, is heavier than CO2 produced by man.

If he said it, then he's just proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is a complete total freaking idiot.

You guys don't get it...this goes back to carbon credits. We can now divide them into light-carbon credits and heavy carbon credits. This just makes the pyramid scheme most diverse and more difficult to track. Brilliant move! Now if he can just prove that the US produces a vast amount of natural heavy C02...he will have it made. (Trust me...he won't).

One carbon molecule said:
"Hey, I just lost an electron"

And so arose the affinity between Gore and nature.

[jpsb]

not up on the numbers but I would bet dollars to donuts that whatever the source 98% is C12. So we are talking about less the 2% containing the extra weight of a single subatomic particle. LOL, big freaking deal.

whoops my fumble

Momma don't let your newspaper reporters grow up to be chemists...

I'm a bit confused about what constitutes man-made CO₂. When I breathe, is that man-made CO₂ (as opposed to a horse or a dog breathing)? If I light up a cigar, is that man-made CO₂ (as opposed to a forest fire)? I need some help here.

Ok that makes sense. Thanks for the rational explanation (and ruining our fun!).

[steve-b]

This is ridiculous. It could be technically true if the two sources have different mixes of carbon and oxygen isotopes, but not enough to make any relevant difference.

What's heavier? A pound of feathers or a pound of lead?

I get it, now!

Al is simply diversifying his portfilio of CC's.

"Trading was heavy today in the Carbon markets, with light CO2 rising slightly higher."
