Nice graph that says it all. I tried dealing with these lemmings in the past using the same logic to no avail. They are just as bad as the born againers that believe the Earth is only 7000 years old.

Again, you are being distracted by the small concentrations. Because your reasoning skills are weak, you miss the big picture.

It doesn't take much to make a difference. Again, Earth without an atmosphere is far colder than an Earth with one. Its atmosphere is but a small fraction of its overall mass, yet it makes a difference. Just look at what a difference a very small percentage of the oxygen in the atmosphere when in the form of ozone can make.

As to your graph, as I pointed out, the amount of water vapor in the air is a function of temperature. Therefore, it isn't really relevant because it is a fixed value,. The amount of CO2 isn't a fixed value because we are increasing it.

If you had basic understanding of the principles, you would know that. But, you don't. So Dunning-Kruger kicks in.
