On Carbon Dioxide

Carbon dioxide is a trace gas which comprises approximately .04% of the atmosphere. Contrast that to nitrogen which comprises 78% (a 1,950:1 ratio) or even to argon which comprises .93% (a 24:1 ratio)....And it isn't as if Carbon dioxide was a poison or even a pollutant a la sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, particulate matter, etc.. It's plant food..........................................................................................As for the relationship between CO2 and global-warming, it's dubious. Peter Taylor (himself a strong environmentalist) claims that he spent three months going through the literature and he couldn't find one peer-reviewed journal article which was adequately able to explain just how CO2 causes atmospheric temperature rise (and, yet, this is the model that's currently being used - CO2 and zero attribution to natural causes).....................................................................................Compare that to the fact that a) we already know just how readily naturally occurring warming increases atmospheric CO2, b) while CO2 can cause a temperature increase, the relationship is a logarithmic one in which after a certain amount (20 ppm) the effect is clearly negligible, and c) in almost every instance of global-warming correlating with increases in CO2, it's the warming which plainly precedes the CO2 (in some instances by as much as a millennium).....................................................................................I don't know about this, folks. As much as I hate to throw around such loaded terms as hoax, myth, and swindle, at the very least there appears to be some group-think, turf protection, crony capitalism, and a mainstream media that has totally lost its inquisitiveness.
