If the tiny magnitude were more generally known, people would want explanations. It defies common sense that such a small magnitude could be responsible for certain catastrophic changes. The least we ought to be is skeptical.
OMG!!!!! The glaciers are gone from Yosemite and Chicago and NYC now too................(in an SUVless world no less!) So their point is what again? The arrogance of man is gonna be painful to a lot of folks. Muvver erf does NOT care about us despite their wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Not only is CO2 a product of life on earth, it is also necessary for life on earth.
The only reason to attack CO2 is to attack life as well as to attack human civilization.
These people are green only when they want to preserve botanical life at the expense of human life (and tbh I’m not opposed to preserving rain forests and I love nature), but suddenly plants be damned the very second we do something that helps them but also helps people (CO2 production)
Look at the world population growth in the last 150 years. A lot more people are exhaling CO2 than there was. Perhaps this alone is the cause of that 1 part per million growth per year.
How are the climate Nazis planning on fixing that? Oh yeah, the reset to 500k people on the planet. I think 7B people might have something different to say about that.
Follow the maths!
The same maggots who are griping about economy busting dempanic shutdowns are screaming FOR economy busting “climate change” shutdowns. The Hypocrite Snowflake Generation are nothing but a bunch of loose cannons.
Hereās the AGW kill shot:
CO2 only absorbs a band of IR frequencies (like a color, just not in our visible spectrum). That absorbed energy heats the atmosphere. There is only so much light at that frequency, and it is almost fully absorbed with cO2 ppm under 400.
IOW; more CO2 Wont do squat
As with any malfeasance on this planet, follow the money.
CO2 is a vital trace gas that is necessary for all plant life on the planet. Weād all be better off with a bit more of it.
He failed to mention that man only contributes 5% of that......That's such an insignificant number that it doesn't even warrant mentioning.
How the climate alarmists were able to convince so many people that CO2 is rising and destroying this planet, I will never know but it is a marvel of successful propaganda.
Co2 from mankind comprises just 0.00136% of the atmosphere (some say even less, much less)
0.00136% of the atmosphere,is nowhere near enough to blanket the globe in a thick enough blanket to keep heat from escaping. What little,heat does get trapped, is nowhere near enough to cause “catastrophic global warming”- nowhere near enough. Not even in the ballpark.
To picture how,little and in effectual it is, consider that 0.00136% of the atmosphere would be akin to covering one’s body with a piece of cloth that only covers 0.00136% of the body and thenmthe person going out into the freezing cold and then claiming that this will lead to “catastrophic warming” of the person.
Even on extreme hot days, having justn0.00136% of one’s body covered is not going to exponentially increase the heat of the person to the point that they cease to live”
To visualize how little 0.00136% is, (someone figured it out for me) it woild be like dumping 4 five gallon pails of 100,degree water into an Olympic sized pool of water that is 90 degree , and claiming that it will “overwhelm the pools temperature”
What happens? Near instant equilibrium in temperature because there is nowhere near enough 100 degree pail water to overwhelm the 90 degree pool water. Here is so little that it would be absurd to,suggest that the 4 five gallon pails is causing “castrophic heating” within the pool
More CO2 means happy trees.
People in the city don’t know this.
And my memory is that somewhere in the low 200s/ppm is the minimum limiting factor for plant life. Drop below that and there isn’t enough to sustain growth. The more CO2 there is, the more lush the vegetation ecosystem gets. Plant life will increase to take advantage of the increased CO2, and there is (apparently) no upper limit to what plant life can use.
Back in the early days of the planet, there was almost no oxygen, and CO2 made up a double-digit percentage of our atmosphere, and once plant life gained a foothold on land and gained access to all that CO2, it spread like wildfire, growing into hundred-foot-tall ferns and the like.
An interesting thing I learned recently was Dinosaurs likely could not walk on land and flying dinosaurs definitely could not fly today because the atmospheric pressure was 5X higher due to all the CO2.
Dinosaurs were buoyant in thicker air.
The amount of CO2 in the air now, compared to then, is “nothing”.
bkmk
How in hell can human restrictions amount to one damned improvement?
The Earth is at the mercy of the sun. There is nothing humans can do to avoid the Sun’s effect on the planet. In 7.8 billion years or so the sun will expand on its way to becoming a red giant and it will likely swallow the earth, so there.
Using the fact that CO2 is just a few tenths of a percentage of air is not a very convincing argument.
Botulinum toxins in doses of millionth of a gram can kill you.
So it’s not the amount that counts but the effect of that amount.
That’s what the argument against “greenhouse gases” should focus on.
