The most interesting graph you will ever see is the Muna Loa CO2 level. During the "Pandemic" where fossil fuel usage is down 20% at least, there is absolutely no variation in the increasing CO2 level. Even if the UK did what Boris wants we only produce about 1.5% of world CO2, our stopping would therefore make zero difference. Of course, more rational reading of the graph says that the CO2 level is not what does anything, and it does not come from fossil fuels. Looking back a few years, (well quite a lot) CO2 levels were much bigger sometimes, much smaller at others, but nothing bad happened! Proved, the Global Warming (oops should have said climate change as cooling is actually happening at the moment) is not manmade and we can do nothing about it. G7, useless talking shop, nothing will happen.

Sigh. Where to begin?

Why have you put pandemic in quotation marks?

Do you have citation for the 20% drop?

So we only produce 1.5% of CO2? But we only have 1% of the world population. I only consume 0.000000000000001% of the world's packaging. I guess I should just start chucking my litter on the street.

We know well how much of atmospheric CO2 comes from fossil fuels due to isotope analysis. Short answer is it mostly comes from fossil fuels.

Looking back over the last million years or so, CO2 levels have been in the range 180-280 ppm roughly, apart from the last 200 years where they've suddenly shot up to over 400 ppm. In the much longer term of course they've varied much more widely as has the earth's orbit etc.


You may of course be right and climate scientists may be completely wrong, but personally I'd take their opinions more seriously over what I'd read on wattsup.
