The CO2 can’t be right though, because 0.039% of this is CO2.

Yes, I noticed that I had the CO2 too low by a factor of 1000. I corrected the answer in #68.

Remember, my question for Christi to ask is how much has persisted since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution?

If we are emitting it and it gets absorbed as quickly as it is emitted, then it is of no concern.

My understanding is that something on the order of 0.0013 x 10^-58 is the correct answer. I saw a video somewhere that laid this all out and I think it would be devastating to anyone arguing AGW.

It is known from various experiments that the CO2 has increased by 100 ppm since the start of the Industrial Revolution, so saying that is not increasing is only going to be devastating to your argument.

No, but you are looking at the total gross emission.

I am talking what is the net net persisting co2.

We aren’t arguing it isn’t increasing, we are quantifying for the public how much.

That is the problem right? We are increasing it? so how much, really is it?

Almost nothing you can measure. I remember the guy in the video said you needed 3-5 years just to be certain because it is so small it is in in the margin of error.

Remember, we are arguing we don’t have to reduce emissions but you are trying to quantify how much we are emitting, that doesn’t matter.

ok, let me see if I have this right.

100ppm of co2 with co2 equal to 0.039% of the total weight.

So, that would be roughly 3.9 x 10^-10 tons?

It going to be something crazy low like that.
