but CO2 is still only .04 % of the atmosphere and Oxygen is 21% . The planets are winning making more Oxygen and we’ll never catch up with the CO2
I think most of the increase in emissions is from China, who happens to be exempt from the caps imposed by the Paris treaty/non-treaty. And if these people think China is acting to cut fossil-fuel burning, then you can add what they're smoking to the increase in emissions.
Well, there’s more where that came from. Let’s get on with it.
I say to the low information people “which would you rather have. $400 or $1,000,000. They want the $1 million, of course. I tell them that $400 of that $1 million represents the Co2 in out atmosphere. “Is that all?” is the usual response.
Yeah that cold weather is tough.
That’s a good analogy...stealing it.
I am doing my part.
The COP21 agreement in Paris didn't impose caps on anyone, it was a voluntary and non-binding agreement in which each nation would make their own commitments.
But as for emissions, the US still leads China and the world in per capita CO2 emissions

The sky is falling, the sky is falling- We might actually go from having 0.00136% CO2 in the atmosphere to 0.001361% - Oh My- how will we ever survive that?
[[but CO2 is still only .04 % of the atmosphere]]
I think that amount includes ‘greenhouse gases’ as well as CO2- and that includes all sources of CO2 (man and nature)- man’s amount of CO2 amounts to just 0.00136% (we are responsible for 3.4% of that 0.04% figure you cited- 3.4% of 0.04% = 0.00136%)
Nice chart. Bookmarked and a BTT.
...These Chinese corporations are building or planning to build more than 700 new coal plants at home and around the world, some in countries that today burn little or no coal, according to tallies compiled by Urgewald, an environmental group based in Berlin. Many of the plants are in China, but by capacity, roughly a fifth of these new coal power stations are in other countries...
We use more coal today than we did when coal was the primary source for all heat and power generation back in early part of the past century.
In the 1960's they used to burn coal at my school to heat it.... They haven't used coal there since the early 1970s but coal use increases steadily regardless.... Show this chart to one of your 'global warming' friend fanatics and watch their head explode.
>>The burning of fossil fuels around the world is set to hit a record high in 2017
That’s a shame since 21st century Western Civilization should be splitting atoms for electricity.
