No, I don't. But since it is only one small piece of a very large puzzle, that size of that small piece does not keep me from seeing what the picture is. And you don't know either or you might have shared your knowledge.

That's not the point. The all=knowing government, who claims man-made CO2 harms our climate does not even print the value. Guess why.

Oh fun, a Villages Jeopardy game...

"FOR $800 please, Alex, I'm going to go with : What is the global Climate Engineering division, enlisted on career day at Davos, doing now relative to climate change to answer the ? of "When will global warming return?"

I’m just waiting for the climate change in a few months…..When the entitled leave

Yes, yes, yes, let's spend trillions of dollars extorted from our citizens on a study of Climate Change, knowing that we can't do anything to influence said change. Lets WASTE money because we are too bored with investing our money in things that can actually help our fellow citizens. Global Warming and Climate Change is one of the best scams anyone ever thought up. The Climate really does change, and no one can prove that man had anything to do with it's change. Man populated Earth, and the climate changes with the seasons, therefore man must be responsible for climate change. Of course, the Earth's systematic revolving around the Sun has nothing to do with the climate, and volcanoes erupting on land and under the oceans don't warm the water or air or pollute the atmosphere, nope. Since man is the perpetrator, we should lower the population to save the world. Save it for what? If we have no mankind to populate the world, why do we care? Will the world stop seasonal climate change if man is gone? Another question that needs answering is: If man is responsible for Global Warming, how long will it take man to warm up our world before it will be too hot for habitation? If man STOPs it's influence on Global Warming, will we have another ICE AGE? When the most influential reason for my migration to Florida was to live in a warmer climate, why would I care if in my lifetime, my home state's temperature increased a degree or two? The question goes back to: why should I wish for our country to waste trillions of dollars on NON-productive study of how the climate changes over a few thousand years and an attempt to prove that man is responsible, when a the average lifespan of a human is less than a hundred years? And even though I plan to live a hundred years, why should I get worked up over something that will not adversely affect me, my children or grandchildren? On the other hand, I appreciate all reasonable attempts to lessen man's contribution to air pollution. If cleaning up the air we breath is reasonable and has a by product of lessening the damage we do to the ecosystem, then I can support the effort. But, if 50% believe that man is responsible to climate change, then why spend trillions of bucks trying to convince everyone else? Don't come to me with a complaint unless you have a reasonable solution. But, make sure that the complaint is something that affects me and the cost of the solution is worth the investment. Don't force our citizens to spend money best spent elsewhere, on a whimsical short term bandaid solution, which overtly makes scammers very rich.
But, this is as good a subject for discussion as anything else.

It be another 20K plus years before Idaho warms up in winter IMO.

Before installing solar panels, be sure they are above the snow level.

Actually, what I said about the small bit of missing mosaic not meaning that you can not tell what the picture shows, kinda is my point. We can see and measure the effects, (at least the scientists from 100+countries can, many of whom don't like one another, which makes me not buy into the "global scam" conspiracy theory). You and I (the general public) don't really need to know all the minutia . What we need is to know there is a problem (the magma is coming to the surface), what we need to do (gather all your important stuff), and take appropriate action (prepare for possible evacuation).
So, the question of the CO2 by itself isn't meaningful in big scheme of things. That could be why you can't find the answer.

In other words, man-made CO2 is not a problem. Now you know why Al Gore is afraid to a public debate.

And, due to rising populations, your tiny bit is getting smaller every second.
Food for thought.

I wonder, do they consider golf courses as habitable or inhabitable in that calculation?

As for limiting child birth because "some" folks believe we are too crowded, I don't subscribe to the idea. I believe that family size should be left up to the individuals, not the government. I am sure that mankind will kill itself out way before climate change has a chance to evolve into an emergency situation.

Climate change and excess CO2 has already KILLED a large percentage of the world's coral reefs. But I guess if snorkeling and scuba diving are important to someone else, then that isn't important. Also, coral reefs form a basis for the fishing industry. But I guess that if someone is NOT involved in that industry, it is NOT important. And the same for the boat-building industry.

As far as human population, it is sure to be a problem of underpopulation. I'm seeing young men more and more disaffected by the over the top woke feminism. In addition to that, with AI and robotics becoming more and more advanced, men will be able to satisfy their every whim with a $5000 robot in the not too distant future.

The graph of population in the US and the world show zero sign of turning down toward under-population.

We have to assume that the world's scientists are smart enough to make accurate temperature measurements. They can quantify a trend.
