Nice FAQ... the following doesn't seem correct though.

"Ambient air contains 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and 1% trace gases (which
includes about 0.4% carbon dioxide)."

My understanding is that there is 280 PPM to 380 PPM (depending on
where its measured) of CO2 in the atmosphere. This would be 0.028% to
0.038% of CO2 in ambient air.

(i.e. 380/1,000,000 X 100 = 0.038%)

(i.e. Nitrogen 78% or 780,000 PPM... 780,000/1,000,000 X 100 = 78%)

Just thought I would let you know... after
all, 0.4% (4000 PPM) would really freak out the
GlobalWarmers/CarbonDioxideDemonizers/ClimateChangers/CarbonTaxers.

You are absolutely right! I accidentally misplaced the decimal point.

It's been fixed. Thanks for the heads-up.
