ABSTRACT
Apparently, only 3.2 percent of atmospheric CO2 is generated from human activities such as coal plants and fossil fuel burning, whereas the plant kingdom and natural volcanic activity contribute to natural CO2. In contrast, 99.99 percent of water vapor is natural and comes from oceans and clouds. And, eighteen percent of methane and 65 percent of CFCs are from human activity (Hieb 2008). Even if all human induced methane and CFCs increased ten times, which is realistically impossible, they would likely have a miniscule effect on global warming. In addition, Essenhigh (2008), a professor of energy conversion, believes that CO2 is simply unable to drive global warming, but that global warming may drive CO2 increases. And, if humankind wishes to reduce the greenhouse effect of water vapor, it is absolutely beyond our control.
