[[The new chief of the Environmental Protection Agency said Thursday he does not believe that carbon dioxide is a primary contributor to global warming,]]
It’s not- CO2 released by man amounts to just 0.00136% of the atmosphere- that is nowhere near enough CO2 to be able to capture enough heat to cause any sort of warming whatsoever- period-
Perhaps if the atmosphere had 30% CO2- then you would have localized warming in certain spots- but 0.00136%? Nope- it’s ridiculous to even suggest that this small amount could be ‘the primary cause of global warming’ as the liars and charlatans of ‘man-caused global warming’ have claimed- they should be ashamed of themselves and resign their posts as ‘scientists’ for trotting out such nonsense!
For those who want the math of the 0.00136% figure here it is
The atmosphere is made up of just 0.04% CO2 AND greenhouse gases- man’s CO2 amounts to just 3.4% of that 0.04%
3.4% of 0.04% = 0.00136%
That is how much of the atmosphere man’s CO2 takes up
I’ve asked many times in many forums how just 0.00136% of our atmosphere can possibly capture enough CO2 to cause global warming- and noone has any math to explain how it can
And folks- of that 0.00136%- the majority of hte captured heat by the CO2 molecules gets radiated out ‘in the wrong direction’ IE: away from the earth, not towards the earth- only a fraction of the heat ever makes it’s way back to earth or remains in atmosphere the majority gets radiated out and quickly reaches equilibrium with it’s surroundings- IE: it has Zero effect because it is overwhelmed by the sheer amount of cooler molecules that surround it- just as dumping 4 five gallon pails of 100 degree water into an Olympic sized pool of 95% water would have essentially zero effect-
Primary cause of Global Warming = Increase in the Holy Spirit here on earth!
It appears to me that Govt.funding has caused the majority of any man made global warming
The sun and water vapor in that order.
Heresy!
Even most climatologists recognize that the primary greenhouse gas is water vapor. The recent narrative about CO2 is to exaggerate its role in the greenhoseceffect so they can regulate it. Forever before that most climatologists agreed that water vapor was far more influential regarding the greenhouse effect compated to atmospheric CO2.
Modern Warming Alarmist now all support the lie that water vapor caused 1/3 of the warming of past decades, while CO2 caused 2/3 of the temperature rise. This lie is patently false and was only recently created to supprt the “CO2 is a pollutant” false narrative.
Here is hoping Pruitt funds many climatologists to reiew the IPCC math and models and thereby expose them for the junk-science fraud and hoax they are.
Waiting to exhale
Until they admit that the Sun is the primary source of energy that the Earth receives, and that the Sun does not emit a constant quantity of energy over time, all discussions with the left are useless.
“a statement at odds with mainstream scientific consensus”
No, a statement at odds with marxist lies and common sense.
He first needs to demolish the “97% consensus” statistic. Only ~33% of scientists actually believe humans are the main cause. Most think we have “some” impact but can’t agree on how much. So he’s right but the media have repeated the lie of “97% consensus” they actually believe it.
I recently read something here on FR about it. The analogy was that abortion was supported by 98% of the population, if you consider that in pro-life circles many might allow for exceptions for rape and incest. It’s a complete miss-characterization.
Global Warming = Lava
A small part of President Trump’s infrastructure repair should go to the proper positioning and repair of weather stations around the US. As has long been noted that since many were made, the area around them has changed resulting in false readings.
Putting such a station in a concrete and asphalt island will create a huge variation from reality. Plus the measuring equipment today is of much better quality.

There is no primary cause of something that isn’t happening.
WHen you dig into the claims about CO2, you realize the details include a lot of stipulations and qualifiers.
First of all, most every discussion of the ‘primary drivers’ are discussing only drivers where they can claim ‘man-made’. Among things that Humans have an impact on, CO2 has the most impact.
Well, that is if you accept the second premise, which is that if there is a human component to a factor, we can treat the factor as human-made, but in fact CO2 has many sources.
Cheer to our EPA chief! Thank you.
