Any time I meet a "global cooling denier" I ask them this question: What percent of the earths atmosphere is the evil global warming greenhouse gas called CO2?

Most answer between 2% and 10 %

Then I inform them it's .04 % That's 211' of 5280' which is a mile...

My follow up question: how can .04 % of any gas change the earths atmosphere?

Pogman - you missed the decimal place location. 0.04% of 5280 is 2.11

I ask:
If mankind can control the temperature or the CO content of the atmosphere,
what do you think the correct temperature and CO content should be?

Facts don’t seem to matter much to the faithless, Godless, self absorbed, long nose busy bodies all too concerned with what the rest of the world seems to be doing to “them”.

As if “they” were of such importance that anyone would pay them any mind. So in order to garner their due, they must be so in your face radical that it will gain them the attention to which they are entitled.

.04% of 5280 feet is 2 feet 11inches not 211 feet, I think your calculator slipped a little.
