Sorry, you are right- I misspoke- The total atmospheric CO2 stands at nearly 400 ppm- From an article dated in 1959, scientists calculated that the atmosphere had back then 2,300 billion tons of CO2 (which calculates out to roughly .03% of the atmosphere). Man being responsible for only 3.4% of that figure
No Proof of Man-Made Climate Change, Says Greenpeace Co-founder
[[The IPCC states that humans are the dominant cause of warming “since the mid-20th century,” which is 1950. From 1910 to 1940, there was an increase in global average temperature of 0.5°C over that 30-year period. Then there was a 30-year “pause” until 1970. This was followed by an increase of 0.57°C during the 30-year period from 1970 to 2000. Since then there has been no increase, perhaps a slight decrease, in average global temperature. This in itself tends to negate the validity of the computer models, as CO2 emissions have continued to accelerate during this time.
The increase in temperature between 1910-1940 was virtually identical to the increase between 1970-2000. Yet the IPCC does not attribute the increase from 1910-1940 to “human influence.” They are clear in their belief that human emissions impact only the increase “since the mid-20th century.” Why does the IPCC believe that a virtually identical increase in temperature after 1950 is caused mainly by “human influence” when it has no explanation for the nearly identical increase from 1910-1940?]]
[[In its report on Moore’s testimony, Fox News noted that a United Nations report on the scientific data about climate change released last September acknowledged there had been no increase in global surface temperatures over the previous 15 years. The 2,200-page report attributed that to a number of factors, including reduced heating from the sun and the ocean acting like a “heat sink” to suck up extra warmth in the atmosphere.]]
Not to mention sea ice/glaciers had been GROWING In the decades that CO2 had been rising- it was only until recently when trade winds and current patterns shifted that some usually colder regions rose in temps by a percentage of a degree that glaciers began melting- Underwater volcanos also being responsible for most of the melting in Antarctic that is being blamed on man’s production of CO2
Shall I go on? I’ve got access to reams of evidence that show that DESPITE the constant rise in CO2, temps and sea ice and core samples all show gains- not to mention reams of evidence that debunk the asinine 98% consensus claim, and reams of evidence that show natural causes for MOST EVERYTHING that is beign blamed on man’;s production of CO2
