Mr. Lofthouse, do you have any idea how much CO2 man releases into the environment? Expressed in metric tons it looks pretty ruinous (for the record man releases around 27,245,758 metric tons, by fossel fuels, a year depending on economic activity). But how much IS that anyway. After all, the earth is a pretty big place and the atmosphere takes up a huge amount of area around it. The figures I have are that of the total earth’s atmosphere, 2% of that is greenhouse gasses. Of that percentage, 3.67% is the CO2 that everybody talks about. Of that percentage, 3.97% is CO2 that man contributes.
So digest this: If you represent the earth’s atmosphere as a rectangle six feet on a side, man’s contribution of CO2 would be the size of a period (.) on this page. And that’s killing the planet? Oh Please.
