Default Atmospheric CO2 -- a different view

In fact, over the last 100 years CO2 concentrations have increased by
30% due mainly to human-induced emissions from fossil fuels. Because
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the increased concentrations have contributed
to the recent warming and probably most of the warming over the last
50 years.


I always love these statisticians. If the concentration of anything you
can name that will dissolve in water rises from .10 parts per billion to
..13 parts per billion, then you tell them it rose 30%, in an effort to
scare them.

Of course and in fact, this anything you wish to make a government funded
career out of is barely detectable by the finest laboratory equipment at
this concentration level, you forgot to mention, in your grant application.
All the funders need to know is it rose, unexpectedly, by 30% and they
damned well let you find out why for $2.1B before it goes any higher!
