More climate hocus pocus

More from Free Republic...

This business about climate change is pure hocus pocus.  The very idea that--- a gas that is just 1/25th as prevalent as it is on Mars, which has an atmosphere "too thin" to affect its climate, could have an adverse affect on Earth's climate-- strains the credulity of even the local Village Idiot.

Mars' atmosphere is 1% of the Earth's, and is almost all carbon dioxide.  The Earth's concentration of carbon dioxide is just 400 parts per million.  If you multiply this number by 25, you get 10,000.  Ten thousand is 1% of a million.  So, how does an atmosphere on Mars that is too thin there to cause warming when present at 1% of our level going to be a problem for us here at only 1/25th of that amount?  Nonsense!!!

The real greenhouse gas on Earth is water, but you can't do anything about that.  It covers 3/4 of the Earth's surface.  Besides, you'll never convince anybody that water is going to be a threat anyway.  But only if it melts!  Why isn't there a complaint about too much water?  Simply because you can't do anything about it, and nobody would believe you anyway.

Carbon is easier even if it doesn't have a damned thing to do with the climate.  They're after the money.
