Just a quick recommendation. If any of you want to read a fairly short book that has a good summary of the political, scientific, and economic bull about global warming, this book does pretty good. It has fairly recent data and covers the issues with a lot of different parts of the argument.

I am trying very hard to treat climate change and the atmosphere with as many irrefutable facts as I can, since this debate has become very political. I posted this test on a left leaning forum and you cannot imagine how I was flamed. My goal is only that when we discuss climate change and the atmosphere, we all are aware of this one undeniable fact about the amount of C02 is in the atmosphere.

I would love if his holiness, President Obama, and the Supreme Court would take the simple one question test.

Dont look at his answer, before you take the test. BTW 1% 25 times bigger than .04 percent.

Algore like to refer to 400 parts per million as it sounds really scary and people have a hard time understanding how small that is.
400/1,000,000 = .0004

The big rise in C02 levels they get all upset about is from .0003 to .0004 since the 1910's

What you also need to understand is that all life ceases to exist on Earth if the C02 levels fall below .00018 as plants need that much just to exist at all. They really would prefer C02 levels much higher, that's why greenhouses artificially raise the C02 levels to promote plant growth. During the age of the dinosaurs the C02 levels were more like .002 that's probably why they were so big as they had a lot to eat since plants were really happier.

Just as an aside, all the C02 level data since about 1980 have been taken on top of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii, the largest on Earth. Volcanos are of course the largest emitters of C02, which is why there was such a high C02 level during the age of the dinosaurs.

Come on guys. Did you take the test? Did you pass? Inquiring minds want to know. Now don't give out the answer here. I didn't pass when I took it, just so you know.

Because of the Pope's visit to the United States, climate change is being brought up again. I am doing a one person effort to try and get people to understand one simple fact about climate change and the atmosphere. Will you help?

Please take this simple one question climate change test.

What is the percentage of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere?

Greater than 5%

5% to 2%

1.99999% to .05%

Less than .05%

Look it up on Google. Did you pass or fail? Was this test helpful? Did you learn a fact you did not know before? Thanks for taking the test.
