Warm THIS!

Let's put the UN-IPCC data to an analysis. The atmosphere currently contains 0.038% or 380 parts per million (ppm) CO2. Each year, humans put about 3% of the CO2 into the atmosphere while 97% comes from natural sources such as the oceans and decaying plant matter. Assuming direct proportionality, that makes all mankind responsible for 380 ppm x 0.03 = 11.4 ppm CO2 concentration. The US generates about 20% of the world's human-made CO2. That makes Americans responsible for 11.4 ppm x 0.2 = 2.28 ppm of the total CO2 concentration.

Which of you US citizens want to pay taxes (maybe up to 10% of your gross income) in response to cap&trade legislation and then donate that money to other nations thru the UN when all we can influence is a lousy 2 ppm of the total 380 ppm CO2 concentration? Does anyone believe that reducing the CO2 count to 378 ppm from 380 ppm by Americans ceasing the use of all carbon based fuels will make any difference at all to global warming? Not me! This seems too simple. How am I missing the boat as to how a tiny portion of a trace gas added my man to the Earth's atmosphere can cause global catastrophe?
