CO2 is a trace gas in single parts per 10 thousand. CO2 effects are thus in it's range of parts per 10 thousand. Any model that does not code the effect of CO2 proportional to it's trace amount are bogus models. Would you use that line of reasoning to predict the impact of tasting a little cyanide? Surely any model that does not code the effects of cyanide in your body proportional to it's trace amount are bogus models? Surely you as a smart Engineer would know how to throw out the meaningless, the rounding error, whereas liarboy neolib would be foolishly crying doom and gloom about these parts per million which anyone but a fool would know can have no possible effect. FWIW, various of the cyanides are lethal at about 1mg/Kg so that comes out nicely to 1 PPM, since you are always ranting about PPM I thought you would like this example.
