Re: Take my climate change test

As others have stated it's less than 0.04% And no, I honestly didn't need to look that up. And while you may not believe that 6.2 trillion tons of CO2 in the atmosphere is significant since you are only concerned about percent I can assure you it is.

I have the Houston Museum of Natural Science in my crosshairs. I love the place but hate the signs. I'd be happy to do the footwork on this one.

Re: No Debate

I don't have a clue as to how that could possibly offend anyone on this board. And thank you sir for your service to this country so that people such as myself can enjoy a fine way of life - even if it means some liberal potato heads get to rattle their jaws on tv.

Re: Jerry's at it again. 20 rounds/1.5 seconds
