You know, to the average joe that sounds like a lot of "greenhouse gas". But it is almost never put into perspective relative to all the other so-called "greenhouse gases". CO2 is but a trace element in the atmosphere and has no effect on warming as far as I have been able to determine. So why bother with this nonsense?
Why? Because CO2 is the only way to link industrialized society to the theory of Global Warming. Without this link there is no basis to do anything with large organizations like the UN, or EU. Control of the world’s economy, is the ultimate goal.
CO2 is .038 % of the atmosphere. You never hear that number. It is less than Argon as a component of the air we breathe. And yet it is absolutely critical to all life. We’d all die without it. Every carbon atom in every living thing was once in CO2. There were no doubt eras when the CO2 content in the atmosphere was far higher than it is now. We and all other living things survived.
We may not survive the assault on the energy-based world we need to support the 6.6 billion who inhabit the planet today.
