The questions in the survey are the same as the ones given to climate scientists a few years ago, and are at the end of the paper. While 97% believe we are a significant contributor, but doesn't define what they mean as significant. A later question helps clear things up #27, has 70% believing we are responsible for more than 50% with 20% of respondents unsure.
Even as a skeptic I still fall into the 97%. |
One thing that got my attention was,I think,in Too Smart For Our Own Good,by Dilworth.
If you took all the hydrocarbons we burned each year,it was equivalent to burning down all the Earth's forest cover,15-Times,each year.
It's straightforward to calculate the volume of the troposphere,resolved into a sphere,at standard temp and pressure,then compare that to the volume of Earth.
When you compare the two together it'll blow your mind when you actually see how tiny our atmosphere is.
And Venus gives us a little insight into what carbon dioxide can do to a planets atmosphere.844-degees F,day and night,with 200-mph winds.Sweet!
