The one point that can get people off the g****l w*****g obsession train
By Ron Ross
The dose makes the poison.... All things are poison and nothing is without poison; the dosage alone is the thing that makes it not a poison.
โParacelsus, 1493โ1541, credited with being the father of toxicology Climate alarmists play the "hide the magnitude" game. If they didn't, they would soon be out of business.
Politely ask a few of your friends how much of the air they're breathing is CO2. I've done that, and the typical answer, when I can get one, is twenty percent or more. (Most people have no idea and would rather not guess.)
Climate alarmists rarely talk about the actual quantitative composition of our atmosphere. The impression they give is that (1) a substantial part of the air that surrounds us comprises carbon dioxide; (2) that the proportion of carbon dioxide is increasing rapidly; (3) that the increase is primarily the result of human activity, mostly from burning f****l f**ls; and (4) that if CO2 continues to increase, it's game over for humanity. Recently, the rhetoric has escalated from "climate crisis" to "climate emergency."
The actual magnitude tells a very different story. Carbon dioxide constitutes four one-hundredths of one percent of the air we breathe (or 400 parts per million). That is an extremely tiny fraction of the atmosphere.
What constitutes the rest of the air around us? Seventy-eight percent of the air we breathe is nitrogen, 21 percent is oxygen, 0.9 percent is argon, and 0.1 percent is other gases. CO2 is .04%. The other gases include methane (0.00017 percent); nitrous oxide (0.00003 percent); and water vapor, which varies from 0 to 4 percent.
How can such a small magnitude of CO2 be dooming humanity? Furthermore, how can c*****e c****e alarmists be absolutely, positively certain that if CO2 continues to increase, it will be lights out for life on Earth?
During the Cambrian period 500 million years ago, CO2 constituted over 5,000 parts per million or .5% of the Earth's atmosphere. This is also the level that is maintained on US submarines. Then, 150 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, CO2 was 1,700 parts per million, more than four times what it is now. Life thrived during those periods.
How can 400 parts per million be a threat to our existence? Before humans started burning f****l f**ls about 200 years ago, CO2 made up 250 parts per million of our atmosphere. It has been growing at about one part per million per year for the past 150 years. In other words, a very small magnitude is growing at a very slow rate. Is there any reason that rate will accelerate when it hasn't in a century and a half?
If the tiny magnitude were more generally known, people would want explanations. It defies common sense that such a small magnitude could be responsible for certain catastrophic changes. At least we ought to be is skeptical.
The catastrophists have not been asked to explain because they have successfully suppressed widespread awareness of the magnitude of CO2 in the atmosphere. If more people were aware of the actual percentage, there would be far less g****l w*****g panic. More people would stop listening to the doomsayers.

Consensus isnโt a scientific term. In fact science academia h**es consensus. Itโs a political term.
Galileo said the world rotates around the sun, the consensus said the earth was the centre of the universe. Those in power decided to go with the consensus [ popularly held belief ] instead of the science. Much later, science proved Galileo was right
The irony is that the same gov that cannot find a way to feed our own people thinks they can change the global atmosphere with taxation.
