38 parts per 100,000
This sounds pretty convincing to me...
FOXnews.com talks to the founder of the Weather Channel:
"Coleman has long been a skeptic of global warming, and carbon dioxide is the linchpin to his argument. 'Does carbon dioxide cause a warming of the atmosphere? The proponents of global warming pin their whole piece on that,' he said.
The compound carbon dioxide makes up only 38 out of every 100,000 particles in the atmosphere, he said.
'That's about twice as what there were in the atmosphere in the time we started burning fossil fuels, so it's gone up but it's still a tiny compound,' Coleman said. 'So how can that tiny trace compound have such a significant effect on temperature?
'My position is it can't,' he continued. 'It doesn't, and the whole case for global warming is based on a fallacy.'"
