"Carbon dioxide accounts for less than ten percent of the greenhouse effect, as carbon dioxide's ability to absorb heat is quite limited."
"Only about 0.03 percent of the Earth's atmosphere consists of carbon dioxide (nitrogen, oxygen, and argon constitute about 78 percent, 20 percent, and 0.93 percent of the atmosphere, respectively)"Fact: Most of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does not come from the burning of fossil fuels. Only about 14 percent of it does."
Claims:
"Temperatures globally
rose about 1 degree Fahrenheit in the past century, most of that
attributed by scientific consensus to the accumulation in the
atmosphere of carbon dioxide and other warming "greenhouse
gases," mostly from fossil fuel-burning."
"The warming will continue as long as "greenhouse gases," primarily carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels, accumulate in the atmosphere, say the U.N. panel and other authoritative scientific organizations."
Facts:
Half or more of 20th century global warming occurred in the first few decades of that century, before the widespread burning of fossil fuels (and before 82 percent of the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide observed in the 20th century).
The primary greenhouse gas is water vapor, not carbon dioxide.
Most of the carbon dioxide
in the atmosphere does not come from the burning of fossil fuels.
Only about 14 percent of it does."
