The root of all AGW spasmoplexy.

The atmosphere is composed of mainly four very simple gases, and all are vital to our carbon–based life form. In order of magnitude these gases are Nitrogen, Oxygen, water vapor and Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide, nicknamed CO2, is at present 380 parts per million of the atmospheric mix.

Parts per million is not an everyday concept for the general public. A million BB’s would fill a 22 gallon barrel. The global warmists are trying to claim that adding 5 more BB’s to that 22 gallon barrel full of BB’s is going to end the world as we know it.

Another way I’ve seen it described is as follows: imagine the earth’s atmosphere as stretching from goal line to goal line of a football field. The portion of the field taken up by man-caused CO₂ is represented by the thin edge of a dime turned perpendicular to the long axis of the field.

All the contrived AGW spasmoplexy is founded upon the mighty world transforming capabilities of those five BBs, that thin sliver of the atmosphere.
