Humans only add 3% of the CO2 nature 97% Was that not also one of the Junkscience.com gems? I forget, but I think that one was in there. How funny that Mq failed to note that nature adds all that CO2 while he extolled nature's virtues at removing it, while you imply that nature adds 33x as much CO2 as humans while failing to note that it also removes it. ROTHFLMAO! The problem is that what nature adds (the 97%) it also subtracts. We add about 5-7% (not 3%) and don't subtract it. Nature in fact goes on to subtract about half (??) of what we add. So, humans add 100% of the increase. Thats the facts, not the junk science. Details....

Trouble is, nature only takes out 97%. Here, let an R scientist explain it to you... Rep. Roscoe G. Bartlett, a Republican from Maryland and a former scientist, took the opportunity later to teach Mr. Rohrabacher some basic atmospheric chemistry with an analogy. If you have 1,000-pound weights on each side of a seesaw and add 1,000 pounds to one side, it's going to go down, he said. If you have 1,000-pound weights on each side of a seesaw and add 100 pounds to one side, it's still going to go down. Message 23382864
