How much Co2 can the atmosphere hold everyday without causing any harm?
CO2 doesn’t cause harm, CO2 is the giver of life. It is what all plants are made of. CO2 dissolved in sea water is just as imprtant for marine organisms, like coral. Studies have shown that during the Cretaceuos, 100 million years ago (long before humans were around) the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere was 4 times what it is today. Experiments have shown that plants grown much better in high CO2 environments. So basically, the more CO2 the better. If you’re worried about the effect CO2 has on the ‘greenhouse effect,’ don’t be; water vapour (i.e. clouds) is the “worst” greenhouse gas being 4 times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat. Keep in mind that only 0.038% of the atmostphere is CO2 and only 5% (at most) of that is man made. There is sooo much more water vapor in the atmosphere controlling the greenhouse effect, that it’s insane to think that a slight increase of 5% of 0.038% makes any difference what so ever.
