I was showing the stupidity or the facts you presented.

Yeah, it's like Reagan said, facts are stupid things.

Um. You argue that if C02 at 387 PPM produces 15 degrees of warming, CO2 at 65000 PPM will produce 16 degrees? Talk about nonlinear.

Come to think of it it is going to have to warm the earth an equilivant amount of its ratio of mass to the earth. So I think my assumption is more correct than the assumptions your data is making.

I was showing the stupidity or the facts you presented. No way is .0387% of the atmosphere capable of warming the earth 15 degrees.

In fact you should be able to get the temp of the CO2 to warm 15 degrees. If only .0387 percent if warming 15 degrees of the earth's total of 518 degrees of the rest of the atmosphere. 15 degrees is 2.9 percent of the 518 degrees of the earths temperature. So the temperature is going to have to be about 2.9%/.0387% or a factor of about 75 times hotter than the rest of the atmosphere. That would mean some red to whith hot CO2 molecules.

I know this is still oversimplification, but it does show how little CO2 is in the atmosphere and how ignoring that fact can come up with some astounding false facts.

Oh, the irony...
