  1. This is the height of hubris. Thou art but an ant. Why anger the elephant?

  2. CH4 is only 0.00019% (1.9 parts per million) of the atmosphere. Both of its narrow absorption bands occur at wavelengths where H2O is already absorbing substantially. Hence, any radiation that CH4 might absorb has already been absorbed by H2O. With the concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere being between 1,000 and 20,000 times greater than CH4, the effects of CH4 are completely masked by H2O.

  4. There is no climate emergency. There isn't too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is the most essential gas in the atmosphere, and it exists as only a trace. If the levels were much lower all complex life on the planet would disappear. Removing it from the atmosphere is hubristic madness.
