Cause, ain't carbon dioxide what helps plants grow? Keeps thangs all purty an' green? Wif' more Parkin'' lots whar' trees used to be this increased CO2 may be a blessin' in that we's seen the rain forests grow faster, right? Dint NPR say a few years back how the forests wuz growing 15% faster? <br /><br />I mean, iffin' all we industrialized humans is adding to the atmosphere is 2 ppm per year, could we reckon mebbe it is an unexpected aid to the plant kingdom fer a time when more land space is paved over? I dunno, of course, jes' thinkin' mebbe thar's a silver lining.<br /><br />How wuz yore Turkey day?

There is some ...That's a lot of carbon dioxide. There is some more context. For example, a cubic meter of air at sea level weights a little more than two and a half pounds. Burning a gallon of gasoline adds quite a bit of volume of CO2. (Interesting side note that may not be intuitive: the more water vapor in the air, the lighter a given volume. It's only makes sense when you realize that water is two hydrogens (lightest) and one oxygen.)Mark Phttp://www.caniconfidimus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-90722767818880453862013-11-26T08:39:31.928-05:002013-11-26T08:39:31.928-05:00Anon,

In other words, seemingly tiny amounts of greenhouse gases relevant to the vast volume of our atmosphere still can have ( and ARE having) dramatic effects on Earth's climate.R.Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04905593499136090763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12006171.post-36121914315929796582013-11-26T08:39:02.825-05:002013-11-26T08:39:02.825-05:00Anon,
