The Top Ten Greenhouse Gases

5 Comments

Water vapor constitutes over 90% of the greenhouse effect. CO2 and methane split the rest. Guess how much CO2 released into the atmosphere comes from man-made sources? 3%.

Looking at Image No. 2 for CO2, I see that most of the image shows water vapor coming off the cooling towers. Makes you want to rethink that maybe we should be trapping that water vapor instead of letting it into the atmosphere.

I'm sick of this SCAM. Al Gore did his movie 3 years ago on global warming. Now that we are in a cooling trend he changes to warning about "climate change".
The air we breathe is 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, that 99%. Of the remaining 1%, 95% of it is water vapor. We finnaly get to CO2 which is 3% of the 1%. Of all the CO2 in the atmosphere, man is responsible 3-5% of it.
So,to try and show how small that is, if the air we breathe is $1million, $780K is nitrogen,$210K is oxygen....and man made CO2 is between $9 and $15. Man made CO2 is as significant as a fart in domed football stadium.
I'm all for reducing pollution and recycling,but these enviromentalists are trying to shove their ideology down our throats.If they get their way it will completely change our way of life and it won't be nice.

Don't forget rice production as a major source of methane gas. The bacteria essential to rice cultivation produces quantities of methane on par with farm animals.

I hope they can get a handle on that polution
