Carbon dioxide is a trace gas in Earth's atmosphere, so-called because it composes less than 1% of the total - 0.37%, to be exact. Now: the human contribution to that amount is "liberally" estimated to be 4%; the rest being the function of natural processes (such as evaporation from the bodies of water that dominate the planet's surface).

So, 4% of 0.037% is.... 0.0148% of the atmosphere. That is what we are talking about here, at most. But wait: eliminating all of that amount would mean wiping out the human species, which is certainly not the intent of climate change proponents, right? Well, most of them, anyway. Instead, what they propose is the implementation of radical and expensive government controls in an effort to reduce the human CO2 contribution by... (wait for it)... 1%.

Thus, trillions of dollars and massive new global government regulations are proposed to reduce CO2 emissions by fifteen ten-thousandths of one percent - well within the normal season variance of CO2 concentrations on Earth. It is the biggest scam - and power grab - ever proposed in world history.

And now, we have this:

"Modern science has conclusively demonstrated that human activities are dangerously overheating the planet..."

Not even James Hansen, the "Hockey Stick" Man himself, would be willing to make such an outrageously false statement. Other idiots however, apparently have no such reservation.

Here’s where I got the 0.117% number.

We’re talking about slightly different things, but the gist is the same - man’s CO2 contribution is MINIMAL.

That site is referring not to the actual greenhouse gas content in the atmosphere, but the gas’ contribution to the greenhouse EFFECT.
