Tales of global warming and Chicken Little

| January 19, 2016 6:00 AM

A report stated the amount of CO2 in our atmosphere as 0.0385 percent. I assumed this was a lie. A number this low had to be concocted by global warming deniers. However, the number looks to be valid. Most experts round it to 0.04 percent. This means that our atmosphere is four one-hundredths of one percent CO2. Put another way, 400 parts/million. Not much, is it?

I believe global warming hoopla is hooey … a way to generate billions of taxpayer dollars to create solution(s) for an insignificant problem. Remember Chicken Little?
