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.

But you do understand that CO2 is measured in parts per million and that human is responsible for the 30% addition of CO2 in the atmosphere? Do you also understand that the warming effect of CO2 and other greenhouse gases is logarithmic, which means that it's the percentage of addition that counts, not the quantity itself?
