No problem sir! What is refreshing is that he’s spot on with his climate statements. Ted’s a smart cookie, and if asked for further details on what he meant, he’d likely stay right on message.
[[Ted’s a smart cookie,]]
I think though his argument should revolve around the fact that man’s production of CO2 amounts to just 3.4% of the total atmospheric CO2 which stands at just 0.04% of the atmosphere- meaning that the total amount of CO2 In the atmosphere, due to man amounts to just 0.00137% of the atmosphere (The math is 3.4% of 0.04% = 0.00137% [the total % of CO2 in atmosphere due to man])
That means that (assuming that CO2 can only absorb it’s own ‘weight’) only 0.00137% of the heat escaping earth get’s absorbed by CO2 and only a small % of that amount actually gets back radiated to earth (the majority gets radiated out in directions other than directly back to earth ie out into space)
So, 99.99863% of the heat escaping earth goes right on out into space- what LITTLE heat actually gets absorbed and back radiated to earth gets released into a now COOLER surface temperature, and it is quickly overwhelmed by the now cooler temps and reaches equilibrium almost instantly, meaning the temperature on earth does NOT change one iota because there is so little back radiate heat that it simply has ZERO chance of affecting earth’s temperature
to put this into simplistic perspective- it would be akin to standing in an enclosed football stadium, lighting one single match, and quickly extinguishing this match, doing this once a year, and claiming you have dramatically altered the inside temperatures to the point that it has become catastrophic and claiming we must ‘
act now before it’s too late and irreversible damage is done to the climate and to the environment within that done)
I personally believe that by exposing the numbers that show the ridiculously small amount of CO2 in the atmosphere due to man, this LIE of ‘man-caused’ global warming can be stopped in it’s tracks- because those making the claim have NO answer to how such little CO2 can be causing climate change- when they pint to the fact that the atmosphere has nearly 400 parts per million, or they list the tonnage of CO2 produced, the historical records show that many 1000’s of years ago CO2 levels were even higher than today so therefore NATURE is the cause of the rise, NOT man, and, even though there is tons of CO2 in atmosphere each year- it still only amounts to 0.00137% produced by man- period-
He basically should say something along the liens of “To claim man is responsible for climate change, after discovering that we are only responsible for 0.00137% of the volume of CO2 in atmosphere, is like claiming that if I were to take a leak in the ocean, that it would cause global flooding. I am still waiting on the ‘consensus of scientists’ to explain how such a small amount of CO2 can cause ANY climate change whatsoever”
