You’re entitled to stand by your belief; I just hope you realize it has no basis in fact. Whoever fed you that line about “2%” was pulling a fast one; you have been hoodwinked.
To satisfy Jim Bosser’s curiosity:
I got my CO2 concentration data from the Mauna Loa Atmospheric Observatory, the Law Dome Ice core, the Greenland Ice Sheet Program, the Vostok Ice core, and the EPICA dome C ice core. In short, it comes from the peer-reviewed scientific literature. But you probably dismiss actual scientists (a group of which I am a member) as “arrogant clowns.”
Where did you get your information?
]]>The CO2 concentration may have risen, but this doesn’t affect the portion of global CO2 emissions that man can affect. The remaining 98% is what happens naturally. You are comparing two different percentages.
]]>==> “The global CO2 emissions for which we as people are responsible for are only 2 percent of the total greenhouse gas volume, …”
Answer me this: why is it that before the industrial revolution, CO2 concentration was stable at about 280 ppmv (parts per million by volume) for 11,000 years, and in fact hadn’t been above 300 ppmv for 23 million years — but levels today are 380 ppmv. That’s an increase, since the industrial revolution, of about 36%.
