Ok, I can’t stand this shit anymore. The CO2 people are fucking retarded.

All of this is sourced from Wikipedia…..


“The Earth's atmosphere is a layer of gases surrounding the planet Earth that is retained by the Earth's gravity. It contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor.”

Ok, got that?

78.08 Nitrogen.
20.95% Oxygen.
0.93% Argon.
0.038% Carbon dioxide.

Now I know most of you CO2 freaks cannot read, but did you see the order in which they were listed? Did you notice that CO2 is less then 1%????

Ok, now for some real fun. You see heavy things sink, light things rise.


Let’s break each of them down.

Nitrogen: [link to en.wikipedia.org]
Standard atomic weight 14.007(2)g•mol

Oxygen: [link to en.wikipedia.org]
Standard atomic weight 15.9994(3)g•mol

Argon: [link to en.wikipedia.org]
Standard atomic weight 39.948(1)g•mol

Carbon Dioxide: [link to en.wikipedia.org]
“Carbon dioxide (chemical formula: CO2) is a chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom.”

So that means for you retards out there that CO2 is fucking heavy. It contains two Oxygen’s and one Carbon molecules.

Standard atomic weight 15.9994(3)g•mol (O)
Standard atomic weight 15.9994(3)g•mol (O)
Standard atomic weight 12.0107(8)g•mol (C)
+---------------------------------
44.0095g mol-1

Ok, now which one do you think hangs up in the atmosphere? Which one do you think sinks to the ground. Which one do you think that plants have evolved to expel? Which one do you think is in serious shortage?

I’ll give you a hint.

Look at the fossils of ferns. Yes ferns. I’m hoping you’ve heard of them. [link to en.wikipedia.org]

Ferns have been around for ages. And get this, they were fucking MASSIVE. Even from Wikipedia:

“Ferns first appear in the fossil record in the early-Carboniferous period. By the Triassic, the first evidence of ferns related to several modern families appeared. The "great fern radiation" occurred in the late-Cretaceous, when many modern families of ferns first appeared.”


See the ferns have been around for ages. And what of the cretaceous period? Let’s take a look:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

“After the end of the Berriasian, however, temperatures increased again, and these conditions were almost constant until the end of the period. This trend was due to intense volcanic activity which produced large quantities of carbon dioxide. The development of a number of mantle plumes across the widening mid-ocean ridges further pushed sea levels up, so that large areas of the continental crust were covered with shallow seas. The Tethys Sea connecting the tropical oceans east to west also helped in warming the global climate. Warm-adapted plant fossils are known from localities as far north as Alaska and Greenland, while dinosaur fossils have been found within 15 degrees of the Cretaceous south pole.

A very gentle temperature gradient from the equator to the poles meant weaker global winds, contributing to less upwelling and more stagnant oceans than today. This is evidenced by widespread black shale deposition and frequent anoxic events. Sediment cores show that tropical sea surface temperatures may have briefly been as warm as 42 °C (107 °F), 17 °C (31 °F) warmer than at present, and that they averaged around 37 °C (99 °F). Meanwhile deep ocean temperatures were as much as 15 to 20 °C (27 to 36 °F) higher than today's.”


Did you see that? Large amounts of CO2 lead to big fucking plants and HIGH temperatures. And what happened? The plants and animals LOVED it.

And get this: there is a lot of talk about how an elevated O2 level brought about the K/T extinction boundary.

Yeah, so remind me again why we need less CO2? If anything we need MORE. Too much O2 and we will ALL DIE.
