2% of CO2 of a gas that is .03% of earth’s atmosphere. It is not this trace gas that is warming the earth.
>> 2% of CO2 of a gas that is .03% of earth’s atmosphere.
According to your data, the percentage multiplies out to 0.000006 of the Earth’s atmosphere. That’s 1 part in 166,667.
What percentage of the man’s CO2 contribution must be curtailed to satisfy the Global Warming crowd? Let’s say 10% which is an extraordinary amount. If 10% of man’s CO2 emission is responsible for warming, that changes the impact to 1 part in 1,666,667 of the total atmosphere. In order to justify that man is responsible for the stated Global Warming, the methods used to support the theory must have a margin of error that is less than 1 in 1,666,667. Furthermore, all the other sources of CO2 must also be constant in order to fault such a small value. If the CO2 is measured in isolation of the atmosphere, the ratio changes to 1 in 500. I would expect proximity to CO2 consumers to offset the human impact.
Would the pasture be so green not for the flatulent?
How much warming is caused by the human-induced rise in CO2 is a matter of debate. But there is no debate that CO2 warms the earth. Without CO2, earth's water would remain frozen except near the equator during the daytime. The primary reason for that is that air would be too cold for water vapor.
