Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Women should stop admiring Ferrari owners

One thing that never seems to get mentioned is the actual amount of this awful 
'greenhouse gas' (i.e., carbon dioxide) that is actually in the Earth's 
atmosphere...

Answer is: right around 0.036%.

That's right....less than four one hundredths of one percent.

Composition of the atmosphere (from the surface up to 25km)
Nitrogen:  78.08%
Oxygen:    20.95%
Argon:     00.93%
Carbon dioxide:  00.036%

My God, they cry.....CO2 has increased over 35% in the last 300 years!!!  That 
means from 00.027% to 00.036%!!!!  WOW!!!!  

The news reports would make you think there was more CO2 than oxygen, when in 
fact it is a pretty minuscule component of our atmosphere.  And has been for a 
long, long time.

Big Whoop.
