'What Percent Of Our Atmosphere Is CO2?': Doug LaMalfa Stumps Entire Panel With Climate Questions

all of it.....we are actually plants in this simulation.

.04% isn't that roughly 400ppm?

Big Daddy Randall Carlson said if you start getting under 200ppm of Co2, the planet is rightfully fucked because plants can't photosyntheisze.

So....I am really starting to think the co2 in the air being a leading cause of climate change is total horse shit tbh.

Plants? The entire biome depends on the oceans. No oceanic photosynthesis by phytoplankton, and the planet dies. The whole food chain for terrestrial life actually begins in the oceans.

Leftists hate humanity so much that they are trying to murder every single human on the planet.

Of course it is.   We need plants.  Plants need CO2.  Plant take in CO2 and output O2.  People and animals need O2.   See how all that works together.

Except we've had almost total global glaciation when carbon was as high as 6%...

Not only hasn't a causal relationship between high CO2 been proven, but they've failed to even prove a correlation...

Studies have shown that CO2 levels follow changes in climate, not the other way around.  When the planet gets warmer, CO2 levels rise.  We are currently in a CO2 drought, plants need more than the current levels to thrive.

The planet tends to self-regulate atmospheric CO2. A rise in CO2 stimulates coral and shellfish production which indirectly consumes CO2. Geologic history has demonstrated this over hundreds of millions of years.

The people we elect are some of the most egotistical willfully ignorant mo fo's that you will ever find on the face of the earth.

If we REALLY wanted to affect climate change, we'd cut water vapor in air as it's the greatest reason for climate change and warming. However, with most of the earth cover in water and no way for people to get rich over it or control other lives, it would be a moot point because even the most vapid green mommy driving her surburban 4x4 to take her rotten spoiled child to school from her 5K square foot that 3 people live in  would be able to figure it out. Hell, even the average moronic college student taking bug baking culinary classes could see it.

We really need tests for intelligence and knowledge on actual facts about bills before politicians are allowed to vote for them. I'd honestly bet 90%+ of them would fail and have their vote stricken from the record.

Next, someone will be so retarded [and I mean they are truly so stupid they really ARE mentally retarded as in a sub normal IQ] that they will think an island will tip over if too many people are on one side of it.

The water vapor thing is definately somthing...I remember reading an article about the airliners contrails having an effect of local heat from them.

More so, than the co2 the jet engines emitted.

So I am kinda retarded but ok lets say the air is

78% N
20.9% o2
Argon .9%
Other Gases .17%
co2 .03%

Ok, math time....what other gases are being reduced if Co2 is going up, you can't have more than 100%

Is there less o2?

Like more Nox?

I just don't see how 300-400 ppm going to 600ppm is going to kill the entire planet.

CO2 is an energetic molecule that holds onto heat well. It what makes the inside of your car or a greenhouse hot on a summer day. It logically follows that the more CO2 we dump into the atmosphere, the more global temperatures will rise.

This might be true on a very long timescale, but marine biologists have recently observed coral and shellfish (including vital plankton) struggling to form shells. As the atmospheric CO2 rises, much of it is absorbed by the ocean. This makes the water more acidic, in the same way seltzer water is acidic (and why your dentist might yell at you if you're drinking too much). This acidity negatively impacts the ability of many marine organisms that depend on exoskeletons. Over the past few decades it has been observed that these exoskeletons have been progressively getting thinner as they struggle to grow in an increasingly acidic environment.

Do you understand why we add humidity to cold air in the winter and we can lower the thermostat a couple degrees and still feel just as comfortable? The water vapor/humidity in the air holds the heat generated by your furnace or other heat adding device far better then [dry] air alone.

Your bullshit you can ply toward ignorant 2nd graders and college age morans doesn't work as well here.

My son with a master in chem laughs his ass off at people like you, then beats them down with words you likely can't even comprehend.

CO2's influence on heat retention in our atmosphere is essentially at saturation currently. It's not a linear response.  300-400ppm made a difference. 400-600 really won't change much.  

So while you think it's logical that more CO2 = more retained heat, it really doesn't.    That doesn't mean we should stop trying to be better conservators of our planet.  What it does mean is that we should focus on the worst polluters in the world, which are in the far east.   We shouldn't be crushing our economy, which is already one of the cleanest on the planet to chase a goal that is pointless in the name of an imposed and uninformed social guilt.

If you cared about the planet actually, you'd want everything made in the west where meaningful protections to the environment actually exist.  Instead uninformed opinions will drive that overseas where there are no real protections and the planet gets trashed, ironically because of people that think they are trying to protect it.

CO2 is a red herring. It's a shiny simple object for the uninformed to focus on, because the real truth of the issue is complex and not marketable, the typical western consumer of this campaign has the attention span of coked up gnat.
