So, this issue has no direct bearing on the global warming issue.

Your consumption of the "drink" is obviously below the set standards created for our own good.

You need to go and quench your thirst via the koolaid and then perhaps you will start talking in lockstep. LOL!

The fact that CO2 is mixed in the troposphere does not support the global warming hypothesis. I meant that it is not a crucial matter. Therefore, we don’t have to worry much about it.

There are plenty of other problems with the global warming hypothesis, and they can be classified in various categories. I like to break the ussue into parts.
I. Obviously true: the effect of CO2 as a “greenhouse” gas.
II. Probably true: things have been warming for a few years; humans have been adding CO2 to the atmosphere.
III. Possibly true: we humans may have added to the recent warming trend.
IV. Doubtful: human activity if the “driving process” in the observed climatic change. This is especially doubtful in view of the historical and prehistorical record of the Earth’s climatic changes.
V. Very, very doubtful to totally preposterous: treaties can solve the problem. (Minute diminution of the human output of CO2 will constitute a small fractional change in an effect which is barely detectable, and will be either meaningless, or too little to late.)
VI. Not considered by advocates of the hypothesis: efforts to correct the problem may be medicine worse than the disease. (This is because cutting back on energy consumption means harder lives for humans. Going to a more primitive lifestyle is not without severe cost.)
