  1. I've had 'How much CO₂ is in the atmosphere as a percentage?' twice in two days, first on the street (politely) and then online (followed by 'you fool').

    I'm sad some people think it is a 'gotcha', so I made this.

    0.043% (more importantly, 2 trillion tonnes) is actually... mind-blowing. A lot. Bigly huge.
