Hey Bob,
Your ad hominem attacks aside, try doing a little proofing sans the wiskey. Simply draw up an xy graph, with "% Atmospere" - 0 to 100% - on the y axis, and a timeline for CO2 as a percentage of total atmosphere from 1900 (0.025%) through 2000 (0.035%) and projected on to the year 2100 (worst case scenario per Al Gore - 600 ppm or 0.06%).
Here's a hint: In order for the percent CO2 line to even show up in scale without the need for a magnifying glass, you'll need a graph the size of a football field. Assuming you and your biology teacher can arrange for a football field to be used as such, the CO2 line will take up less than one foot of a 100 yard field. And if you want to add man's CO2 as a percent of all atmospheric CO2, it'll take less than an inch.
Obviously, you've never taken a stats class.
PS - Apologies to the rest of you for this non-rail related teaching opportunity.
