CO2, Carbon Dioxide

The myth and the lies

So what is carbon dioxide? Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound composed of one carbon and two oxygen atoms. It is often referred to by its formula CO₂. It is present in the Earth's atmosphere at a low concentration at 0.04%. Even if that amount were to double to 0.08% we would be fine. It is, in a form we can all recognize, would be that in it's solid state. "Dry Ice". Dry ice is 100% carbon dioxide in solid form. The same stuff that freezes your ice cream and other food products at ground level somehow politically changes its properties in the atmosphere and warms the planet. Other popular uses for this "planet-warming killer" is used in your typical fire extinguisher to put out fire, and we drink it every day in our CARBONATED drinks (Coke, Pepsi, Sprite...you get the picture). It is also used as a cooling supplement or a refrigerant.

Some believe it causes global warming. Well global warming is the phenomenon whereby the earth's atmosphere traps solar radiation, caused by the presence in the atmosphere of gases such as carbon dioxide, water vapor, and methane that allow incoming sunlight to pass through but absorb heat radiated back from the earth's surface.

It is a well-known fact that CO2 levels go up in ice cores during an ice age. The main fact is that the temperature changes before the CO2 does. So how can CO2 be a trigger if it's level doesn't change dramatically before the climate changing event?  Every 11,000 years or so when there was an ice age, higher concentrations of CO2 can be found in that section of ice. But we are told that this gas is a global-warming gas and we are responsible. I'd like to have somebody explain to me how CO2 traps the sun's energy by allowing the heat energy  to come in through the gas down inside our atmosphere to ground level, but somehow this very same gas will not let that very same energy back out into space. This is some magical stuff!! It's a one-way gas!! Welcome to the CO2 roach hotel gas!!

Did you know they measure Carbon Dioxide directly at Mauna Loa in Hawaii? Did you know that Kilauea is just a couple of miles from this point and it is possibly the most active Volcano on the face of the earth (above sea level)?  Kilauea's CO2 emissions were steady at about 8,500 tons per day until 2004, then the  measured emission rate doubled, then nearly tripled in 2005. In fact, CO2 emissions are currently continuing to be very high.  This is the area where CO2 emissions are being monitored for the global warming fanatics. Think about that.  What genious thought this one up?

What got me seriously thinking that CO2 being blamed for Global Warming was BS, is the simple fact that humans take in O2 (oxygen) and breathe out CO2 (carbon dioxide). The global warming supporters would have you believe that carbon dioxide goes up into the atmosphere and traps heat, thus warming the planet. So how come if you blow up a balloon with CO2 that you breathe out it will fall to the ground? Why doesn't it go up? I'll tell you why. What you breathe out is 16% CO2. The molecular weight of carbon dioxide is 44 and the molecular weight of oxygen is 32. That means carbon dioxide is much heavier than air and it sinks! It falls to the ground, it doesn't go up, it goes down. What they are saying is a scientific impossibility!! Explain to me how a heavier-than-air gas manages to get up in the stratosphere with all the other gases and dominate them at a 0.04% ratio to cause global warming? It cannot do it. A helium filled balloon goes up because its molecular weight is 4.0. That is 8 times lighter than air so it goes up. These are all facts. What they are saying about CO2 cannot be true.

There are dangers to CO2 and those would be:

• In a solid form it's very cold, -109.3 degrees F. If held to your skin for too long it will damage the skin and underlying tissue.
   
• Carbon dioxide gas coming off the dry ice or CO2 gas being released from a tank displaces oxygen and it can kill you. If you use dry ice for Halloween to fog up your house and you are in an airtight room with it, it could be very deadly. You will suffocate and die. Otherwise it's pretty harmless.  I've read that it doesn't even have to be an airtight room. Just displace enough of the oxygen in a given area can cause you to pass out.
