CO2 Contributed by Human Activity: 12 to 15ppmv / version 1

Feeling guilty about your carbon footprint? You understand percent, which could be called parts per hundred. You're almost there to understanding parts per million, which is the way trace gases are described. You are in for a big surprise!

Here is a link for total CO2 emissions from energy use, provided by US Department of Energy:

@YouriCarma These are simple minded, mistaken, deluded (or worse) pieces of misdirection and propaganda which have been completely debunked. Are you that thick that you believe 150 years of science can be overturned by opinionated newspaper articles written by at least one stalwart of the denialist Heartland institute - he completely misrepresents what the scientific paper actually says. Don't you realise, you are being taken for a fool by these types who lie and twist for political reasons.

@Nobleepingway ; the fatal dose of atmospheric cyanide for adult humans is 270 ppm. Someone should give this stupid spooky woman a dose and see if she still believes small concentrations aren't a problem.

@Viracocha711 Sorry you're so weak-minded, inconsiderate, and childlike. If you're ever ready to grow up and start behaving like a human being, I'll be waiting for you.

[Viracocha711]

@f56789123 Yeah, have fun playing make believe! Talk to you later.

@Viracocha711

First, you need to admit to yourself that you're worried about yourself, not the planet. I agree with the notion that burning coal and pollution is not good, anyone can see that. Problem is, you don't understand that you're being misled. We have technology to provide our race with free energy worldwide. We don't because of the incredibly corrupt system of control (the head of the snake being money) that exists. Until you understand the real problem, you cannot fix it.

@f56789123 Sorry, but your comment shows how IGNORANT you are when it comes to SCIENCE! What you described had NOTHING to do with CO2 but the fact OXYGEN levels were much higher back then. And you fail to even THINK that there were ZERO humans on the planet then! The majority of scientist DO NOT "BELIEVE" they know due to the overwhelming EVIDENCE! "Belief" is not science & that is where your IGNORANCE allows you to be used by those who are working for the fossil fuel Industry!

@Viracocha711 You need to do a little research yourself, I think. Millions of years ago plant and animal life were both far more rampant than they are now. As a result plants, insects, and animals were far larger in size than today. Be careful what you call science - it's being revised all the time.

Just because the majority of people believe something doesn't mean it's right, or "scientific."

@Viracocha711 decades of research built on computer models of the earth and its ecosystems responding in a programmed fashion, NOT necessarily in the actual fashion. Consider the Study done through NASA satellites, showing that much, much more heat is dissipating into space as compared to the pretend models of the warming proponents. Global warming is fake. Its a religion in which the followers are believing what they choose to because they want to ignore hard evidence to the contrary.

[Viracocha711]

@ObiWanShinobi1 NO, what you have seen is DISTORTION...The science is crystal clear & has been reached over decades of research by numerous organizations from around the world! You can read the science or you can read everything else. Not sure how scientifically literate you are but science is not "opinion'. GOOGLE: "Skeptical Science" & "Real Climate" both are very good websites based on NOTHING but the science from climate scientist. Real Climate you can ask questions!

[ObiWanShinobi1]

@Viracocha711 Think exactly what? - I have seen evidence that a large majority of the conclusions about global warming - that's what we're ultimately talking about right? - have been reached by creating artificial environments with responses based in the researcher's opinion about how the real earth SHOULD react. it seems that "think" in capital letters really means "why the hell aren't you just agreeing with me? - because there are plenty of people lying about how much of what affects what.

@f56789123 Without water we all die...If we drink too much we DIE! Plants EVOLVED with certain levels of CO2 & if those levels rise too high the plants will die! You need to to actually learn some science & stop repeating what you hear on Talk Radio or read on a Professional Denialist website!
