Seriously, over 50 years of natural gas burning and not one peep from Greta.

It would be interesting to have a list of the major sources of CO2. Volcanos, etc. I thought man-made CO2 is about 0.28% of the atmosphere.

That said, without CO2, we have no plants, then we all die.

Looking at goog, CO2 varies from 0.28% to as high as 0.41% of the atmosphere depending on the reference quoted.

0.28% is what I remember from college back in the previous millennium.

That is total CO2 for the atmosphere.

Depending on the source, manmade CO2 is about 10% of the total - about 0.03% of atmospheric CO2.

Now if we can Air Liquide and other bulk gas handlers to kick up their production a bit, all would be solved.

But then what would the greens have to cry about?

One of the problems with putting it out is that methane is a much more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.

There is going to be a lot of methane released before that thing is brought under control. Which might never happen.

Almost better to just let it burn.

CO2 makes up .04% of the atmosphere.

Some estimates guess that human activity is responsible for 2% of that.
