This forum is about wrong numbers in science, politics and the media. It respects good science and good English.
Co2 Disucssion here
Here is an example of science on the other side of the discussion. It represents for me though an example of a place where interpretation means everything. There is a chart on this page showing the IR absorption in the atmosphere. It shows it for 100ppm and for 1000ppm.
If I read correctly, he is saying "See at 1000 ppm, the band of absorption is wider".
I look at it an say, "See, at a 10X increase in concentration, you get a slightly larger absorption window. It ain't even 10% wider" (Excuse my eyeballs, I didn't get the ruler out to measure.)
