Exactly my point that 1% is every other gas you ever heard of so how can something
less than 1% really change anything as abruptly as they are saying? It(co2) is something like .003% of the total makeup of the atmosphere. Yes do a search on the
makeup of the atmosphere. That is the reason that the nitrogen tire fill thing that
tire stores offer is such a joke!! The air you put in is 78% nitrogen and as time goes by
the smaller particles are what is escaping causing you to lose pressure so eventually
the makeup of the tires atmosphere is losing the weird gasses and o2 and becoming
more nitrogen anyway!! In a bladder type shock yes the temp stability of nitrogen is
worth it but in the relatively small temp rise in tires it isn't really needed. Co2 is a relatively benign gas especially compared to the reactivity that O2 exhibits on almost all other materials!! DON'T forget oxygen is poisonous to most FORMS of LIFE on this
planet!!

Right, and so is almost any gas or chemical in high enough concentrations.

 

Hey I am just stating things that are true but that there is a lack of understanding
or lack of information in the general population knowledge and media. Tell most folks
that O2 is poisonous to most forms of life on the planet and they look dumbfounded,
Plants intake CO2 and grab the carbon and release the O2!! If there was more O2
there would be a bit of a die off of some plants and bugs would be a lot bigger like
the fossil records show they once were since their body size is theoretically limited
by the O2 content since their means of propulsion is highly O2 reliant(aerobic) If we
didn't have the CO2 amount we have now this world would be different and not exactly
for the better a 1 pound mosquito would be terrifying since they can suck a lot of
blood compared to their body size now imagine if they were 1# empty!! CO2 has a
propensity to trap heat is the argument that they try to make but so do clouds!!
The earth is a closed system and we have so much water trapped up in pipes that
the system is trying to melt the ice caps to replenish the water(theory #1) Think
about this a 8" water main 1 foot long let's say contains one gallon of water so in
1 mile of pipe we have 5000 gallons trapped and not in the earth system now multiply
that by all the miles of pipes in every city in america alone and divide that for the
myriad of smaller pipes and figure all that in and that is just fresh water not blackwater
All that adds up to the earth all of a sudden being deprived and dehydrated so it
does what it has to to bring balance back into the system and if that means melting
the glaciers that is what we have caused by trapping water and in drought conditions
not watering your lawn is probably the worst thing we can be doing!! Ponder that!!
In a few years this will be the new story and ohh nooo how will we fix this and still have water to use freely to flush my toilet, leave the water running while brushing,shaving etc.
mankind as a whole needs to change a lot of the ways things are done and not focus
on one thing with no regards to the system as a whole.

 

Very good. But what is the nature of the force that translates from water held in pipes to melting polar caps? Like, how do it know?

 

That's the great mystery of life!! like how does any molecule know how to line up perfect to make a crystal, or a liver instead of a heart or tree branch or a leaf!!

 

Now that you mention it, so will the disposal of billions of flourescent light bulbs when they are used up.

Oh, that's right, we will recycle them properly, just like we do millions of used-up tires every year !!
