[QUOTE="RickG, post: 62225598, member: 293581"] I'll address toxicity later, but just so you know, in global warming we are not talking about toxicity. We are talking about the ability for a gas to absorb and hold heat. This is basic thermodynamics. Yes I do, it is currently just over 390 ppmv. To express CO2 as a percentage is meaningless. Lets look at something to which you may be able to relate, medications. When we takes doses of prescription medications they are in units of milligrams. This is the same relative metric unit as parts per million (ppm). When a person takes that medication that milligram figure in relation to a persons body weight (atmosphere if you will) waters down to parts per billion (ppb) or even parts per trillion (ppt). To try to use a different unit of measure and pretend because it is small is deceptive and bordering on dishonesty. However, in your case, I truly believe you are just uneducated in chemistry, physics and thermodynamics and are therefore easily mislead yourself. Then I must wonder why you realize that but make light of it. That is not true. Please provide a source to where you get that information. Also, again, you understand that physics take a part in understanding greenhouse gases, but you then go on to make a completely unsupported and incorrect statement concerning that physics. Do you not think that if over 97 percent of all published research world-wide says that there is a problem and that every single one of the National Academy's of Science world-wide express that concern that they just might know something? I just hope you are young enough to see how wrong you really are, but that is not what I wish to discuss here. Let's discuss the science. [/QUOTE]
