I'll give you a D, cuz at least you admit we are increasing atmospheric CO2 levels. This video is from 2014, which was the warmest recorded year. Now it's the 5th warmest. In 1896 Svante Arrhenius predicted that increases of atmospheric CO2 from burning fossil fuels would lead to global warming; a doubling of atmospheric CO2 (580 ppm) could cause global average temperature to rise by 5ºC. Between 1896 and 2013 atmospheric CO2 increased 33% and global average tempurature has increased 1 degree celsius. That is an increase that tracks Svante Arrhenius’ prediction to 80% accuracy.

In simple numbers, The ratio of the weight of H20/CO2 at their respective concentrations over the globe

is 597500. That is with CO2 at 400ppm.

Now the green house property of gases is how much they absorb of black body radiation at a given temperature. I have not been able to find any data on the green house gas effect constant (goober)of different gases. But I estimate h20 is 1000 times the goober of C02. In general the goober effect occurs in molecules that have positive and negative polarization due the the distribution of orbiting electron. This give the an antenna like property that will receive certain frequencies if the antenna is facing correctly. The directional sensitivity depends upon the frequency.

All things I have dealt with in science and engineering, mass matters. mass times effect matters.

So how does a gas with 1 one thousandth of the goober and at a gross mass of 1/597500 of H20 make any difference beyond the ratio of mass times effect.

FYI, I just invented goober....

calculation.

A kilogram = .00110231 tons ref. google

Global distribution of atmospheric water ref. water.usgs.gov
3,094 Cubic miles or 12,900 cubic kilometers

Thus there are 12,900 e+9 cubic meters of H20 in the atmosphere.
or 12.9 e+12 cubic meters H20 in the atmosphere.

1 US short ton of water (sh tn wt.) = 0.91 cubic meters of water (m3 - cu m)
Thus a cubic meter of water = 1.099 tons

There are 12.9 e+12 cubic meters H20 * 1.099 tons of H20 in the atmosphere
or 14.177 e+12 tons of H20 in the atmosphere

That is 14,177 gigatons of H20 in the atmosphere.

How much CO2 by weight in the atmosphere?

“The total mean mass of the atmosphere is 5.1480×1018 kg. ref. micpohling.wordpress.com

or 5.1480xe18 kg. 1 ton is 907.185 Kilograms

5.1480xe18 kg / 907.185 .0056783 xe18 tons or 5.6783 xe15 tons or 5.6783 millon gigatons

molar mass of air is 28.97 g/mole
molar mass of CO2 is 44.0095 g/mole

ppm of CO2 represent a percent of the atmosphere.

400 ppm is .04% thus the mass percent of CO2 by mass is 44.0095/28.97 * .04 or .06076%

Total weight of CO2 is ,0006076 * 5.6783xe15 tons. or ,00345 xe15 tons or 3.45xe12 tons 3450 gigatons

14177/3450

1997/98 El Niño events, water vapor amounts and thus total mass increased by about 0.1 hPa in surface pressure or 0.5 × 1015 kg for several months.

journals.ametsoc.org
dry air mass as 5.1352 ± 0.0003 × 1018 kg of atmosphere
The total mean mass of the atmosphere is 5.1480 × 1018 kg
The mean mass of water vapor is estimated as 1.27 × 1016 kg
