Oops.  Sorry I should have said CO2.

You also wrote:<<Venus's atmosphere [SNIP], full of CO2, and apparently much 
hotter than it used to be>>

But, how can that be?  There's no people to blame --- well, no people like 
we think of people/  ;-)   As we all know, affluent capitalist are to blame 
for everything wrong in this world ;-p

Merry Christmas -

Actually, CO IS one of them.  CO is carbon monoxide, and can cause symptoms 
at 100 parts per million.  At 667 ppm, up to 50% of the blood can be made 
incapable of carrying oxygen.

Of course, though, CO isn't what you're talking about - that's CO2 (carbon 
dioxide).  Interesting story on Wikipedia about Venus's atmosphere (about 
60% CO2).  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus#Atmosphere.  Its damn hot, 
full of CO2, and apparently much hotter than it used to be.

Of course in our atmosphere, the absolute concentration of anything is 
pretty meaningless - the change is the interesting thing.  And a 35% delta 
is pretty big.  Sure, there's a lot of hype about this, and lots of people 
trying to make money on it (that's how the economy works, and most people 
like the free market).  But the science isn't driven by hype or money.  It 
is mostly a bunch of tenured professors doing what they do.  Sure, there is 
some level of following what is hot involved in getting grants, but that 
doesn't invalidate the data.
