Trends in Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide
There is no “Elevated Atmospheric carbon dioxide”!
If that were the case, Glo.bull Warming Alarmists would be spewing out the data!
Numbers I have seen show that Atmospheric CO2 levels have gone, at most, from ~ 350 ppm to about 400 ppm over the last 100 years or so. This increase is natural and is not going to get anyone’s panties in a wad!
Do any Freepers have better numbers for Atmospheric CO2 ???

Michael Crichton Analogy regarding CO2.
“If, says one of Crichton’s characters, the elements of our atmosphere were measured in terms of a football field, nitrogen would take us from the goal to the 78 yard line.
Oxygen would take us from there to the 99-yard line.
Most of the yard remaining consists of argon. Argon takes us to within 3 inches of the goal. Only one inch of the remaining three is made up of carbon dioxide. One inch in 100 yards.
“In the last 50 years, we’re told, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. But in this analogy, it has increased only 3/8 inch, “less than the thickness of a pencil,” meaning that it is “a miniscule change in our total atmosphere.”
