If you don’t know, you either don’t want to know, or you’ve been spending too much time reading propaganda and obfuscation full of name-calling, misdirection, irrelevancy and assertions without foundation.
The tip of a splinter is less than 0.01% of your body weight. Does it make a difference? It does when it touches a nerve.
Hormones are less than 0.01% of your body weight. Do they make a difference? What an absurd foundation for a question, to minimize the number one permanent greenhouse gas and the number one plant hormone modifying drug on the planet, in an argument appealing to the fallacy of personal incredulity.
“AGW True Believers”, “Climatist authoritarians”, “Government scientists”, “alarmism”, “chimera”, “witchdoctors”? Is there an epithet you have not yet used to accuse people who hold different views than yours of being inferior to you, out to get you, or otherwise inimical? This Tourette’s-like pattern of propaganda may let you avoid dealing with facts, but at the end of the day, you’re left with none of the credibility you vainly seek to steal from those who have the facts on their side.
AGW is real, it is significant, it is costly, and it is risky. It isn’t alarmism to say so; it’s alarmism to suggest economic ruin will befall anyone who accepts the inescapable conclusions of Science. AGW is imposed on most of us by few of you, who take much of value from most of us, without our consent, and without compensating most of us, because you have no compunction about taking what is not yours and hurting anyone if you don’t have to face the direct consequences.
A submarine is not the whole world, and red herrings about the air quality of enclosed spaces when the topic is radiative transfer physics in the open atmosphere and biochemistry of plants and microbes is simply misdirection. No one should still be such a naif at this late date as to fall for such ploys.
CO2 is _not_ a plant fertilizer in any sense, not a plant food above 200ppmv unless the plants are supplied with a surfeit of less plentiful nutrients in the artificial conditions of greenhouses or farmers’ fields, and CO2 has serious negative effects on plants and soil as its concentration increases above 280 ppmv. Pretending it isn’t so, covering your ears and shutting your eyes and yelling “La-la-la-la-CO2-IS-MANNA!” like Happer or the Idsos only makes the source out to be an unbalanced evangelical zealot, impossible to reason with, and unprofitable to deal with.
The topic is not convection and the GHE is not about closing windows in a car; even small children grasp the difference, so we must conclude you are intentionally trying to sew confusion with bafflegab and absurdity.
Climate Etc. has already seen all these falsehoods of yours trotted out, and like the Skydragon Slayers put to rest for the fictional spin they are. Beating your team of dead horses any more is just a waste of our time.
