“Because then the leak looks WAY bigger. Just like with “global warming” and CO2 - it is always in tons of CO2. 2,000,000,000 tons of CO2 looks like a huge problem. Expressed as 0.4 % of the atmosphere - not so much.”
I completely agree with your point. In fact, the exaggeration about CO2 is an order-of-magnitude greater; it being only 0.04% of the atmosphere.
Thanks. (I’m surprised I was only a decimal point off!) I should be careful when I’m just tossing numbers out there like that and say “or something like that”. Although I bet I’ve done stuff like that 1,000,000 times and no one ever notices or says anything. ;)
