Deepsand is a fool and then they think that they can chastise someone for putting this issue of CO2 and just how minor of a constituent of the total atmosphere into some kind of perspective for idiots such as what they appear to be.
There are some obsessed with the supposed increase of 280 ppm to 392ppm of CO2 and I hope that this information will help you to sleep better at nights.
This, I hope, will put this into some kind of a perspective that makes one understand just how insignificant this increase is.
A part per million is like 1 drop of ink in a large
kitchen sink.
A large kitchen sink is about 13-14 gallons. There
are 100 drops in one teaspoon, and 768 teaspoons
per gallon.
Some other things that are one part per million are???
One drop in the fuel tank of a mid-sized car
One inch in 16 miles
About one minute in two years
One car in a line of bumper-to-bumper traffic from
Cleveland to San Francisco.
One penny in $10,000.
I know that you understand that these 112 additional ppm are spread out over this 16 miles in different one inch segments and wouldn't it be a task to be told to sort out the 392 pennies from the number that it would take to make up $10,000.
At 392 parts per million CO2 is a minor constituent of earth's atmosphere-- less than 4/100ths of 1% of all gases present. Compared to former geologic times, earth's current atmosphere is CO2- impoverished.
Let???s picture this in another way to really get an idea of the scale of CO2 compared to the total atmosphere. The Eiffel Tower in Paris is 324 metres high (1063ft). If the hight of the Eiffel Tower represented the total size of the atmosphere then the natural level of CO2 would be 8.75 centimetres of that hight (3.4 inches) and the amount added by humans up until today would be an extra 3.76 centimetres (1.5 inches)

Have a nice delusional day, you brainwashed dud and I doubt that you even know that CO2 is 1 & 1/2 times heavier than the rest of the atmosphere.
You've no understanding of the Sciences, and probably never will, because you're too damn pigheaded to learn what you don't want to know.
Absolute numbers, in the manner that you present them, don't mean ****.
Get your head out of your **** and study the damn Physics of Radiative Forcing.
Have been for some time, and have always been, and always will be, better than you.
You're just not smart enough to talk about anything interesting.
Inaccuracy with small facts calls into question the remainder of your work.
You wish, lamebrain.

You have contributed nothing, but detracted significantly from worthwhile dialog.
You cannot justify that "4.5 Billion" is a relevant number to this conversation, and when asked, you have evaded with speculation about my motives, religious beliefs, and nit-picking about my phrasing instead of the science you presume to dismiss.
Your CO2 Footprint - Grab the Microscope - an Illustration
If the Earth's atmosphere were to be represented on a 100 yard (91.44 meters) football field (an American football field), the make-up would look like something this:
From the goal line, go down 78 yards to the 22 yard line on the other end, and you have nitrogen.
Go 21 yards further, to the 1 yard line, and you have oxygen (99 yards total so far).
From the 1 yard line to the 3 inch line, you have argon.
From the 3 inch line to the 1 inch line, you have other gasses.
The last 1" would be representative of the CO2 in the atmosphere.
Let's switch our units from inch to millimeters. One inch equals 25.4mm
95 percent of that last inch (25.4mm) is CO2 that comes from water vapor - that is, evaporation from oceans, lakes, rain water, and so on.
That leaves 1.27mm left on the field.
Out of that remainder, 0.678mm is CO2 from natural sources - volcanoes and other stuff from the earth.
That leaves 0.591mm - just over one-half of one millimeter - which is CO2 produced by human (and other creature) activity.
Out of that 0.591mm, about half is from CO2 exhaled (and/or exhausted) from living creatures, including us dastardly, planet-destroying, humans.
Which leaves 0.295mm - about one-fourth of one millimeter - of CO2 emissions from automobiles, power plants, SUVs, and anyone driving a Toyota Prius. (I wonder what the overall percentage difference would be between a Ford F250 pick-up and a Toyota Prius? It probably couldn't even be measured as a percentage of the whole.)
And they claim we're destroying the planet. Yea, right. The more you look into the claim, the sillier it gets. And the more you consider the real motives ........ the more it makes you wonder.
