Now as to somebody getting a reading of 415 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere...

It was 410 ppm the last time I heard the OMFG!!! hysteria over nothing, but we get your point. "5 more ppm."

Comparison chart.

Everyone blaming CO2 for the end of the world needs to give up their cars, their heaters, their electrical appliances, and they need to quit carbonated beverages RIGHT NOW!!!

IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE CAN SAVE THE WORLD!!!

Not to worry.

Climate heroes are jetting around the world to multi-billion dollar junkets as we speak; signing papers, eating vegan (possibly), controlling the cow fart disaster, financing fossil free industry at local brothels. Mild mannered bureaucrat administrators are donning their super hero, scientist masks to rewrite the climate data and deliver sufficient scare to the disbelieving public. Al Gore is also dashing about the globe in his jet administering the "Gore effect" to cool the planet.

So cheer up climateers. There's even more good news. AOC says she was only joking about the world ending in 12 years due to what she calls 'climate change'. "April fools", she says.

Botulinum toxin less than the weight of a grain of sand can kill a man. What's your point exactly?

My point would be CO2 is not Botulinum toxin.

You'll have to do better than that.

Tell you what. You know that high school experiment you're so proud of?

Do it in an enclosed space like you'd do in the high school, except do it outside in the middle of a Northern winter. Add a bowl of ice. Add .03% CO2. Go ahead professor. Show us how you'd melt the Arctic with CO2.

Melt the ice.

I think he's trying to say that the very tiny amount of CO2 in our atmosphere is responsible for all the heat we have, and the more we keep adding the hotter it will get, considering the effect the tiny amount already has.
