SO LITTLE CO2 IN OUR ATMOSPHERE
There is so little carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, 414 parts in 1,000,000, equal to 4 parts in 10,000, and if it doubled, which it can’t, would still be well less than 1/10th of 1%, (.0008) it is too little to take seriously. The claim that it is an atmospheric gas is truly nonsense, but no one questions it but me? (see below)
Dry ice is frozen CO2, and the common Chemistry demonstration in high schools shows that, in water, the dry ice turns to gas, lighter than water, that visibly rises to fill the bowl and overflows onto the table and, then, to the floor. If the room is small enough a candle is shown to extinguish if it is lowered into the warm and invisible CO2 gas near the floor.
Gravity can’t be overcome by gases. Only an explosive force greater than gravity can force CO2 into the atmosphere, and that is why there is so little of it, and why it doesn’t increase despite the thousands of tons of it that are exhausted by animals, insects, and humans every second.
All vertebrates and just about every animal needs CO2 to live and both CO2 and the waste CO2 they release, had to be near the surface for our evolution and growth of the food chain. The amount of CO2 change in the atmosphere, over time, can be shown to correlate with volcanic activity. Think about it, please.

Why don’t we ask John Kerry the climate envoy for the Biden administration: Kerry has previously explained how the greenhouse theory works: “Try and picture a very thin layer of gases – a quarter-inch, half an inch, somewhere in that vicinity – that’s how thick it is. It’s in our atmosphere. It’s way up there at the edge of the atmosphere. And for millions of years – literally millions of years – we know that layer has acted like a thermal blanket for the planet – trapping the sun’s heat and warming the surface of the Earth to the ideal, life-sustaining temperature”. Its a Con Mate!!
The CO2 in the high school experiment where it sinks to the floor is correct BUT it quickly disappears as it mixes with the surrounding air. However you are right when you describe how little there is of it in the atmosphere. There is no proof that it has any effect on the temperature of the earth. In point of fact between 1945 to 1979 there was no warming, according to NOAA and the IPCC, yet we had a surge in carbon dioxide levels during this period.
