Humans are responsible for very nearly 100% of the more than doubling of atmospheric CO2. You should Google "carbon cycle" and do some learning

The Idiocracy reference is so fitting. Plants don't benefit from a 0.04% increase in CO2. Typically plants are held at 5-20% CO2 to increase growth rates

Atmospheric water vapor is in equilibrium with the average temperature of the Earth and is only retained for a week on average. CO2 is retained for about 10,000 years on average and the CO2 we release from sequestered sources isn't in equilibrium with anything

Yo, what do you climate deniers think happens to the CO2 emitted by humans? Are you scientifically illiterate enough to believe the trees eat it all?

>Air
>20.84% O2
>0.04% CO2
>Atmosphere represents about 700 units of carbon storage
>Fossil fuels represent >6000 units
>Assume 12000 units
>17x more carbon in fossil fuels than atmosphere
>0.04%+17(0.04%)=0.72%
>20.84%-0.72%=20.12%
>~3.4% difference in O2 levels
