None so blind as those who will not see. What part of there being 3X

not getting? You can stick your head back in the sand now.



Three times as much, I think not.

Here is the present accepted percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere from:
http://www.met.fsu.edu/explores/atmcomp.html

VARIABLE gases in the atmosphere and typical percentage values a

Water vapor 0 to 4%
Carbon Dioxide 0.035%
Methane 0.0002%
Ozone 0.000004%

Note the term "variable." That means it's normal for the percentages to
change from time to time.


Carbon Dioxide 0.035% That's 35/100 of one percent. About 1/3 of one
percent.

So you are claiming 650,000 years ago that was only about 0.012%? 1)
prove it 2) prove that 650,000 years ago is the BENCHMARK figure
(keeping in mind that there's been life on earth for millions, if not
billions, of years.)

Can't do it? Surprise, surprise! Until you can prove it beyond a
reasonable doubt your argument is as impotent as you are.
