lol! Yep. Have you ever read the percentage of methane we have in the atmosphere? 0.00017% THAT tiny tiny tiny percentage, that you can literally read as zero point zero zero zero is what leftist idiots like AOC are talking about when they whine about how cow farts are burning up the earth. It’s NOTHING.
Same with freakin’ CO2. They are talking about gases that have a zero quality as it is and they think our infinitesimal contribution to that already zero quality is enough to change the composition of 5,000 quadrillion metric tons of atmosphere to the point where it will destroy life on earth. CO2 a NECESSARY gas for life!!
It’s such a ridiculous joke, an absolute hoax, and for that effin hoax they are destroying millions of jobs AND lives! I absolutely hate the Republican party, none of them in Washington ever get into the faces of people like AOC and DEBATE THE BITCH she knows NOTHING. While people are losing their entire career these punks are cashing their taxpayer created paychecks and letting democrats get away with anything they want
On the contrary, CO2 (along with methane which quickly turns into CO2) are very much something, and critical for the survival of life, you said so yourself. It's time to stop ceding the ground that CO2 is bad or that higher CO2 is bad. It's good that mankind increased CO2 when we did. Before we did, the earth was in an unprecedented period of CO2 starvation.
The Rancho La Brea tar pit fossil collection includes Juniperus (C3) wood specimens that 14C date between 7.7 and 55 thousand years (kyr) B.P., providing a constrained record of plant response for southern California during the last glacial period. Atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) ranged between 180 and 220 ppm during 280 ppm before the industrial period, and is currently approaching 380 ppm in the modern atmosphere. Here 13C of Juniperus wood cellulose, and show that glacial and modern trees were operating at similar leaf-intercellular [CO2] (ci)atmospheric [CO2] (ca) values. As a result, glacial trees were operating at ci values much closer to the CO2-compensation point for C3 photosynthesis than modern trees, indicating that glacial trees were undergoing carbon starvation.
