What the University of Alabama's Football Stadium Tells Us about CO2

John Eidson

To get a visual of what an astonishingly tiny portion of the atmosphere is made up of the increased amount of CO2 that's appeared over the last century, take a look at the University of Alabama's Bryant-Denny Stadium, which has a seating capacity of slightly more than 100,000.  Consider that just ten of those 100,000 people in the stands represent the visual equivalent of the increased level of CO2 in our atmosphere.  Just ten.  Ten of the football fans in the jam-packed stadium represent the increased amount of CO2.  The other 99,990 fans represent the rest of what's in the atmosphere — i.e., everything except the increased amount of CO2.

. . . "I'm not a climate scientist, or a scientist of any kind.  But I do have an engineering degree, which I mention only to point out that I'm at least as qualified as most non-scientists to form rational opinions regarding claims about the climate.  Maybe I'm off base, but it doesn't seem plausible to my layman's mind that a microscopic increase in one of the least plentiful atmospheric gases (CO2) is causing the environment to fall apart at the seams." . . .

. . . "There's another possible reason why the planet has warmed over the last 100 years, and it has nothing to do with carbon dioxide.  Earth's climate has always been in a state of flux.  For billions of years, our planet has experienced warming trends followed by a cooling trend, followed by another warming trend, and so on.  That one-followed-by-the-other pattern is unbroken, dating to the time the atmosphere first formed, so maybe the warming trend over the last century was just another event in that timeless pattern.  In other words, maybe the warming was merely coincidental to the slight increase in CO2.

"The peddlers of climate fear have misled us before" . . .

While we're on the subject:

A huge, angry, Greta Thunberg, looming big over San Francisco...

"Seems it wasn't enough for the left to compare young Greta Thunberg, a 16 year old Swedish global warming activist to Joan of Arc or even "Christ's successor."

"The looney left of San Francisco is now putting up a gargantuan mural of her face, uglier, angrier, doughier and shadowier than it really is, as if to scold San Franciscans from above as she did in her theatrically overwrought United Nations tantrum for the cameras." . . .

Breitbart: "Stalin, Mao, Kim Il-Sung, Saddam Hussein, Greta Thunberg…just a few of the cult leaders to have been immortalised by gigantic images designed to cow subject peoples into the correct mood of submission and terrified awe.":
