merrie says:

As I was saying, 50 years of carbon dioxide emissions by humanity has really caused the CO2 content of the atmosphere to surge upward. It might not look like much, but trust me, Mr. Gore says….

NOW what?? Carbon dioxide is what? Necessary for life on Earth?

What are you, some kind of global warming denying right-wing extremist wacko? The polar bears are drowning!!

I can see I’m just wasting my time…sheesh.

Hey! I voted for global warming, didn't I? Can't tell it here - 22 degrees and tons of snow. Oh, and should I be holding my breath? I mean, carbon dioxide is bad for my insides, but if it's bad for the atmosphere, I suppose I could do my part and hold my breath...for a few minutes anyway. Will that help?

It is a counterpoint to Al Gore’s use of “millions of tons” when talking about CO2 emissions.  I’m pointing out that relative to the total atmosphere, millions of tons of CO2 is miniscule.  And even a 50% increase in a very small number [the CO2 content of the atmosphere] is still a very small number.</EM>)</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/01/50-years-of-co2-time-for-a-vision-test/"><P>Now that there have been 50 full years of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration monitoring at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, I thought January1, 2009 would be an appropriate time to take a nostalgic look back.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/01/50-years-of-co2-time-for-a-vision-test/">  So, without further ado, here’s what 50 years of increasing levels of CO2 looks like on the Big Island:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/01/50-years-of-co2-time-for-a-vision-test/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.drroyspencer.com/img/47D2527A-4438-4A38-9AB8-903FACD718D0" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/01/50-years-of-co2-time-for-a-vision-test/">You can’t see it?…</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/01/50-years-of-co2-time-for-a-vision-test/">here let me change the vertical scale so it runs from 0 to 10% of the atmosphere, rather than 0 to 100%….</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/01/50-years-of-co2-time-for-a-vision-test/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.drroyspencer.com/img/9303082D-D4F6-4559-936B-1052AEF15763" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.drroyspencer.com/2009/01/50-years-of-co2-time-for-a-vision-test/">You still can’t see it??
