Greenhouse gas
concentrations
are roughly:
Water Vapor --- 95%
Natural CO2 ----- 4%
Natural CO2 ----- 4%
Man made CO2 - 0.12%
Nitrous Oxide --- 1%
Methane ---------– 0.4%
Aerosols ---------- 0.1%
Nitrous Oxide --- 1%
Methane ---------– 0.4%
Aerosols ---------- 0.1%
As a percentage of
total atmospheric gases,
total CO2
is about 0.04%,
and man made CO2
is about 0.0012%.
The claim that 0.12%
of total greenhouse gases
has controlled
the temperature
since 1950,
is a claim without
scientific proof.
People making that claim
never even try to explain
why or how 4.5 billion years
of natural climate change
would have stopped in 1950,
or what could have caused that.
The people making the claim
will reply that they are
only claiming "over 50%"
of the warming since 1950
was man made, not 100%
... but they strongly encourage
the media to imply "100%",
and that man made CO2 (alone)
CONTROLS the average temperature!
The claim that CO2
is the climate controller
makes no scientific sense
because reconstructions
of the historical climate,
using climate proxies
such as ice cores,
clearly show that
CO2 levels changed
as a RESULT of
temperature changes,
and CO2 levels
did NOT lead
did NOT lead
temperature changes.
