As to the co2, we are also raising the co2 level. That's a fact. The

co2. Who knows maybe we will be the start of the next cycle that
produces new hydrocarbons for some other lifeform to dig up a couple
hundred million yeasr from now. On the short term the consequences
might not be so good for us.

I trust you'll permit an analogy to illustrate the CO2 in the
atmosphere and its increase.

If the atmosphere could be represented by the area of a football
field, including the end-zones, the amount of CO2 is roughly equal
to the area occupied by a prostate official who died as a result of
seven stab wounds inflicted by irate fans after he made four
consecutive bad calls against the home team.

The increase in CO2, since 1900, could be represented by the stain
left on the astoturf as he slowly bled out without a single person
coming to his aid.

(In case you're interested, the remaining seventeen minutes of play
took place without a single penalty.)

In other words, CO2 ain't much (one three-hundredths of one percent).

That is a fake statistic,
The increase in atmospheric CO2 since pre-industrial times is 35%.
From 280 to 382 parts per million.
You are either devious or stupid.

I know maths is hard, but in simple terms:

382 / 1,000,000 = 0.000382 = 0.03%

Which is what I said.

Both devious and stupid. Never thought it possible.
