Yes. Please share your sources and cite your evidence.



Thank you. I am familiar with the IPCC. Also, please note that 1995 is more than 12 years ago, as it's now 2008. Several new and updated versions are now available of the work done by the IPCC.

Please note also that the IPCC doesn't do research, the bring together research from thousands of peer-reviewed articles and thousands of scientists, and from those collective sources form a meta-article with conclusions.




5% is huge! It's about systems and equilibrium, and 5% is MORE than enough to screw up an equilibrium and put a system out of balance.




Your opinion means little to me, as you are clearly not very well informed or educated on the matter. Can I change 5% of the air in your bedroom to toxic nerve gas? By your own account, it's difficult to see how this would have an effect.
You forgot one thing... this is about 5% of the CO2 only. Since CO2 makes up only about .0360(source taken from searching "element percentages in atmostphere" on google, clicking first link, then clicking the link on that page). When you find out what percent of CO2 we cause out of all the atmosphere, you find that it we account for 0.000018% of the CO2 in the air. So I'm guessing you could change 0.000018% of the air in my room to toxic nerve gas, and I would be okay. If .000018% of my room was filled with ebola... it might be different

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
