What I find annoying and confusing is the way .04% is easily thrown around and considered as the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere. It is actually .04% of 1% or .0004% of the earth’s atmosphere.

Chuck, I will try to explain the law of diminishing returns to you with an example you might be able to understand, since science and math don't seem to be your strong suits.
Let's assume that agriville trolls get paid $1 for the first smiley face emoji or LOL of the day.
Half as much for the second one, and half as much again for the third one etc.
You derive a huge benefit from posting one smiley face per day, some benefit from the second one small amount from the third, by the time you posted four or five, you aren't gaining much more, you might as well take the rest of the day off and start again tomorrow morning.
By the time you have posted your 7th smiley face of the day, you are only being paid fractions of a cent per smiley face. Posting any more smiley faces that day won't even pay for the electricity your computer consumes when you click the emoji.
That is where we are at with co2 in the atmosphere. Earth enjoyed significant benefits from increasing CO2 when it was in the double digits. Increasing it from 400 PPM does not improve the weather anymore then you would get paid more for posting your 100th emoji of the day.
But the plants still appreciate the extra CO2. Unlike agriville readers who do not appreciate the redundant emojis.

The hits just keep on coming for shitholistan. Then upchuck goes and posts the propaganda from the dumbasses at mcmaster university (need to closes that place)that canuckistan is somehow not going to be a basket case. Seeding just wrapping up in this area putting to bed a nasty spring. Hopefully there will be enough heat to get these late crops to maturity.

I see as I predicted, Jethro from AB came up empty handed when asked to produce a credible scientist who say greenhouse gases and specifically CO2 do not cause the greenhouse effect......crickets!
All we get is brainless comments on emojis.

Stop putting words in my mouth. I acknowledge that CO2 is a potent greenhouse gas. But at these levels adding anymore is like making water wetter. It's already saturated.
At these concentration, CO2 has already done all the good it can do as a greenhouse gas.

I think I succeeded in explaining diminishing returns to chuck. In the previous post he wasted three emojis. After reading my explanation he cut back to a single emoji. Well done.
