Other Scientists here at Cornell U plant science... took greenhouse.. INCREASED CO2 to 1000 parts per million... and QUADRUPLED the plant yield in that Greenhouse... DANGEROUS?? hmmmmmmm

Comparison of satellite imaging over the past 30-40 years reveals the worldwide acreage covered by forests has measurably increased.

The sacred rain forest might be "vanishing", but the taiga is thriving...

The most prosperous times for man and the environment have been during the warmest periods.

GW was a scam from the very beginning.....low temps are our enemy, and temp is due to the sun's activity primarily, not CO2 or any other greenhouse gas.

Sure, but he wouldn't have done the calcullation that way. He would have done

(5400 * 17000) / 750 x 10^9 which equals 0.000122, which he rounded off to 0.0001, or 0.01%. Since all the givens have two significant figures, he should have said 0.012%, but he was on the money.

If he had done that and you had entered it in your equation, you would have got 16,666 and, again, rounding to two significant figures, got the 17000 he used.

Why this doesn't bother me:

Also, the bulk of liquid crystal displays are made in China.  Barely any are manufactured in the U.S..

Bad China, bad!
