I repeat. America's CO2 output, which is the target here, makes up approximately .0064% of the world's atmosphere. And in your mind, that is why global climate change is happening?

do you dispute that CFCs were damaging our atmosphere because such a small amount of them, by volume, were released? Because they were pretty awful and cutting them out has been a huge benefit.

CFC's?

and my claim here

Is incorrect. It is much much smaller

Biosphere emits 55.28% of CO2 in the atmosphere
Oceans emit 41.46% of the CO2 in the atmosphere
Burning of fossil fuels emit 3.27% of CO2 in the atmosphere.

ETA: I believe my earlier post may be incorrect. Let's examine

4% of the CO2 emitted is due to fossil fuels.
.004% of the atmosphere is CO2
so

.00016% of the atmosphere is related to Fossil fuels (someone check my math)

Of that America's is responsible for 15% of the world's CO2 emmissions.

So 15% of .0000016 = .000024% of Earth's CO2 is due to America's CO2 emmissions.
