Oh, bother!
CO2 levels are in the neighborhood of 0.02-0.03% of the atmosphere. Three
one-hundredths of one percent!
As for global warming, since the globe hasn't warmed in the last six years,
the term "global warming" has lost its cache amongst the
chicken-little-was-right crowd. The approved lingo is now "climate change."
Remember, a mass movement can exist without a god, but it will fail without
a devil. A mass movement MUST have something to hate.
Anyway, I think "global warming" was caused by the AIDs quilt...
