I do think that, in following the science, rather than politicians like Trump signing out of climate agreements to save his job, we do have a global acceptance of the link between CO2 levels and global temperatures/climate change (accepting that there are lots of different types of pollution with differing impacts).
The actual percentage isn't relevant, calling it a trace gas to suggest it is irrelevant is daft, its the change that matters and CO2 has increased by about 50% since the start of the Industrial Revolution. Temperature graphs map CO2 levels. We don't need to increase CO2 levels to grow plants, the earth has managed to grow plants without us messing around. What we need is a stable level and what we are doing at the moment as humans is adding rapidly to the levels. The result is not good. That is one thing science does agree on, even f it is as they say an inconvenient truth to many politicians.
Perhaps we should get back to Austin 7s...

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!
