Having reached work, I realize that I forgot to mention that, although the level of CO2 in the biosphere is negligible, the effective CO2 for us is the concentration of CO2 at the interface between the atmosphere and the body, ie in the lungs. A normal human has a PO2 of 40 in the lungs; since the atmospheric pressure is 760, this is about 5.05% to begin with. People with problems may start out at 60 or 70 mm.
As far as greenhouse, if I'm wrong and we do something, no big deal. It costs money, sort of, but...the money doesn't disappear; it is not a CO2 free fuel being burned for energy. Let's say you have to buy emission control equipment. Yeah, that costs you money, but, fortunately for me, I own the company that you turn to to solve your problems, so I gain a lot of money (whichc I give away to my researchers, suppliers, employees,lawyers, accountants, and a few cents to, or back from, the government.) Then, if you are lucky and have a good product, all the people I gave your money to will give it back to get your product.
If you are wrong and we do nothing, I'm going to be living on an island instead of a 2000 foot hill.
This last EPA stuff is bull, if I understand it correctly; "It's coming, we are the main cause, don't worry, be happy, adapt or die". Can you see shrub on 9/12; "OBL is here, he is going to do it again, we are tough, don't worry, be happy, just adapt"?
