In the comments section a poster says this:
Fact 1: Excluding CO2 for now, all the other atmospheric gas accounts for 99.96% of the sky.
Fact 2: CO2 represents only 0.040% (400 ppm) of the atmosphere (concentrated in the lower half of the sky - due to CO2 being denser than predominant Nitrogen, Oxygen and Argon.
Fact 3: Of the minute amount of CO2 up in the sky, 96.775% of it is Naturally Occurring i.e. produced from Photosynthesis, Respiration, Volcanoes & Geysers, Natural Wildfires, Marine Life, Micro-organisms, Plant Decay, Cellular Respiration, Flatulence, Decomposition, Calcification and Natural Fermentation.
Fact 4: This leaves just 3.225% of total minute amount CO2 up in the atmosphere being Man-made (anthropogenic) i.e. burning of Oil, Oil Derivatives, Petrol, Kerosene, Paraffin, Diesel, Coal, Natural Gas, Peat, Biomass, Timber, Crops and Wood & Plant Alcohols.
Fact 5: Apart from any ‘blame’ for weather events caused by burning of fossil fuels, the above 3.225% of total atmospheric Man-made CO2 should also include the following:
Global Alcoholic Beverage Market: Brewing Industry (Beers & Lagers), Wine & Champagne Production, Beer Dispensing and Distillation (fermentation produces CO2)
Soft Drinks & Beverage Industry: This includes . . . .
All Carbonated Drinks - Worldwide (Man-made manufactured CO2 is injected into sparkling wines, cola & lemonade purely as a novelty effect).
Decaffeinated Coffee Manufacture (Caffeine is removed from steamed coffee beans as they fall through 100 feet holding vats of pressurised man-made CO2)
Food Manufacture Worldwide: This includes . . . .
The World's entire Bread Production ('Air bubbles' from yeast are pockets of pure man-made CO2).
Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Powder) - Aeration used in snack-food industry, biscuit & cracker manufacture and all cakes & sponges.
Yeast Extract Manufacture
CO2 Induced agricultural poly-tunnels, greenhouses & germination rooms
Fermented Soya Bean (for soy sauce, tofu, etc.).
Modified Air Packaging (MAP) CO2 is injected into most food packaging to extend food life & prevent it oxidising.
Dry Ice (used to keep fruit & vegetables fresh and essential for freeze drying).
Refrigeration: All Refrigeration Gas is man-made CO2, All Air-Conditioning (including for cars, homes, shops, offices & aircraft).
Industrial Processes: This includes . . . .
Coolant Gas (as used in all welding & fabrication)
Lime Kiln Processes (as in all cement and brick manufacture)
Industrial Waste Incinerators
The large-scale burning of household waste
Sand Blasting Processes (highly pressurised pellet's of frozen CO2 replaced sand and water in the mid 1970's. This process is also used by large scale bakeries to clean down equipment more efficiently than just using water & detergents).
Laser Cutting (Fires an arc of particle-charged CO2 to cut all printed circuit boards for electronics, TV's, computers, car components, etc.)
Propellants: Canisters of highly pressurised man-made manufactured
CO2 @ 150 psi are used in . . . .
All Fire Extinguishers
Air Bags in Cars
Inflatable Life Jackets
Emergency Exit 'Slides' on Aircraft
Stage, Film & Theatre: Dry Ice (used to create smoke effects on set) and CO2 Cannons (as used in stunts for film and TV to propel & topple vehicles).
Other Uses: These include . . . .
Controlling Ph of Water (as used in swimming pools & water purification plants)
All Limescale Removal Products (Sulfamic Acid dissolves limescale and produces bubbles of CO2)
Liver Salts (The fizz is CO2)
Denture Cleaning Products (CO2 bubbles help lift debris from enamel plates)
Anything that humans throw out for Composting (decomposing garden waste, peelings, etc.)
And lastly (pun intended) . . . .
Cremation: Taking one hour to cremate every 7 stone (100 lbs) of body weight, a casket containing a deceased person is placed in an oil or gas fired furnace which generates temperatures of 870oC to 980oC. All human tissue (except bones) evaporates. The remaining bones (3.5% of original body mass) are ground into ashes. The cremation process generates man-made CO2 from the fuel used for heat, the incinerated casket (usually wood) and the combustion of human remains. According to the Office of National Statistics, of the 493,242 registered deaths in the UK in 2010 alone, 360,066 people were cremated
(73%).
Conclusion:
With CO2 representing only 0.040% (400 ppm) of the total atmosphere – and that only 3.225% of the total CO2 is Man-made, then . . . .
1. How much man-made CO2 contribution to ‘warming’ (from the list above) could have been produced during the Roman or Medieval warming periods when it was warmer than it is now? Other than burning a few witches, log and peat fires, making a few cakes, a couple of loaves of bread and wine and beer making – not a lot. They certainly didn't drive 4x4's, cut PCBs with lasers or manufacture CO2 filled bags of wonderfully cheesy Twisties!
2. If CO2 is such a significant contributor to adverse climatic changes, then why are ‘carbon taxes’ imposed on the sale of Lemonade, Fire Extinguishers, Refrigerants, Bread and Cremation? After-all, it should be a level playing field.

Don't give the warming cultists any ideas.
There is no such thing as man-made CO2 induced warming or CO2 induced climate change. CO2 does not cause extreme weather events. Demonising CO2
is just a smokescreen to protect the vested interest in renewable energy
projects.
Except that it goes deeper than protecting the vested interest in renewable energy...it's also about micro-managing our lives and global wealth distribution.
When are you liberal dickheads gonna get it?
