CFC's?
and my claim here
quote:
America's CO2 output, which is the target here, makes up approximately .0064% of the world's atmosphere
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.

Comparing a Co2/year to Co2 - not even the same fricking units dude.
This must be dumbest and dummerest toester.

Yes, I mentioned CFCs. Because a small amount of a chemical in the atmosphere can tip the balance of the ecosystem. CFCs are an easy example because the amount of them introduced into the atmosphere was so tiny yet their impacts were incredibly devastating.
In comparison, the amount of foreign CO2 that we pump into the atmosphere every year is enormous, even though it makes up a relatively small percentage of the air by volume. However, because our planet can't sink as much CO2 as we're pumping out, the gas is building up and having an impact on our climate.
