| Crono said: Weight is irrelevant. Its volume thats important, and comparing that volume to the total volume of the atmosphere, and the volume of CO2 added by natural causes. And I didn't say CO2 for Mt. St. Helens, I said greenhouse gasses. Unless you are trying to say that CO2 is the only important greenhouse gas. |
Ja seriously. "The total mass of the atmosphere is estimated to be some 5.5 quadrillion (55 followed by 14 zeros) tons (4.99 quadrillion metric tons)"
By your estimates, 1 billion seconds is 31 years, and 1 quadrillion seconds is 31709 years.
