Suffice it to note at this point that carbon dioxide, even though a basic building block of life on earth, comprises just under four per cent of all atmospheric gases. Human activities generate less than four per cent of the CO2 produced by B次元官网网址淢other EarthB次元官网网址, which means that four per cent of four per cent leaves perhaps just one human-produced CO2 molecule per 1,600 molecules of all atmospheric gases.
