I bet none of these jerks know the per cent CO2 in the atmosphere at sea level.

[Nifster]

I suspect they can’t figure a percent

[3boysdad]

I also bet they don’t know that it’s heavier than air, which is a very important property and kills the argument that CO2 is causing “climate change”.

[Zathras]

I am pretty sure they think CO2 is a minority group who has been oppressed by White Folk.

——I bet none of these jerks know the per cent CO2 in the atmosphere at sea level.——

Not just them, but pretty much 99% of people...

I always ask that question when confronting warmist cultists...

They never know or guess it’s hundreds of times more than the actual number...

CO2 Facts

Compared to the concentration statistics in Table 1, the GWP comparison in Table 2 illustrates, among other things:

Total carbon dioxide (CO2) contributions are reduced to 72.37% of all greenhouse gases (368,400 / 509,056)-- (ignoring water vapor).

Also, from Table 2 (but not shown on graph):

Anthropogenic (man-made) CO2 contributions drop to (11,880 / 509,056) or 2.33% of total of all greenhouse gases, (ignoring water vapor).

Total combined anthropogenic greenhouse gases becomes (28,162 / 509,056) or 5.53% of all greenhouse gas contributions, (ignoring water vapor).

As illustrated in this chart of the data in Table 3, the combined greenhouse contributions of CO2, methane, N2O and misc. gases are small compared to water vapor!

Total atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) -- both man-made and natural-- is only about 3.62% of the overall greenhouse effect-- a big difference from the 72.37% figure in Table 2, which ignored water!

Water vapor, the most significant greenhouse gas, comes from natural sources and is responsible for roughly 95% of the greenhouse effect (5). Among climatologists this is common knowledge but among special interests, certain governmental groups, and news reporters this fact is under-emphasized or just ignored altogether.

Conceding that it might be "a little misleading" to leave water vapor out, they nonetheless defend the practice by stating that it is "customary" to do so!

When greenhouse contributions are listed by source, the relative overwhelming component of the natural greenhouse effect, is readily apparent.

From Table 4a, both natural and man-made greenhouse contributions are illustrated in this chart, in gray and green, respectively. For clarity only the man-made (anthropogenic) contributions are labeled on the chart.

Water vapor, responsible for 95% of Earth's greenhouse effect, is 99.999% natural (some argue, 100%). Even if we wanted to we can do nothing to change this.

Anthropogenic (man-made) CO2 contributions cause only about 0.117% of Earth's greenhouse effect, (factoring in water vapor). This is insignificant!

Adding up all anthropogenic greenhouse sources, the total human contribution to the greenhouse effect is around 0.28% (factoring in water vapor).

roughly, humans are responsible for 3.7% of the atmospheric CO2 which amounts to just 0.04% of the aTMosphere!

Which means that man is responsible for CO2 in the atmosphere which amounts to just 0.0015% of the atmosphere

Golly- got to get to ‘zero emissions’ so that we can get that ‘whopping amount’ down to say 0.0010% of the atmosphere- then we can all breath easy knowing we just ‘saved the planet’

Folks- We aren’t producing nearly enough CO2 to create the mythical thick blanket of CO2 that climate alarmists are telling us is ‘trapping the earth’s heat and endangering us’- There is no thick blanket- because there is nowhere enough CO2 to create this mythical blanket-

There is at best a microscopically small thin ‘blanket’ that is insignificant when it comes to ‘trapping heat’- man’s CO2 is not causing the planet to heat up- There is only 0.0015% of the atmosphere that has CO2 in it because of us- Think about that-
