Wiki shows what it claims are gases in the atmosphere--omits just one, making CO2 look huge

If you're so naive as to believe that Wikipedia is NOT a propaganda machine, this may convince you to reconsider.

The graphic at the right is from Wiki, which claims it's the composition of Earth's atmosphere.

As every highschool grad should know, 98 percent of the atmosphere is nitrogen and oxygen.  Argon is almost one percent.  So far no surprise.

But what's that remaining percent?  According to Wiki, the lower pie chart will tell you.  And OMG!!!  Look!  Damn near the entire lower pie is...wait for it...CO2 !!!  No wonder the Earth is doomed!  Even a moron can see that that second pie chart is freakin' dominated by
the dread greenhouse gas!  It's 0.0407 percent of the atmosphere.

And look at the CH4, which y'all immediately recognize as the dread gas methane.  It's makes up 0.00018 percent.  But of course, as all the warmies know, methane is "20 times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2.

Adjusting for this larger effect, you can compare methane to CO2 by scaling it up to 0.0036 percent.  So methane has less than a tenth of the effect of CO2.  And yet the wacko warmies have seriously proposed capturing cow flatulence as a way of reducing global warming.  Seriously.

So did any of you notice something missing in Wiki's breakdown of the gases in the atmosphere?

Sure:  Where's the water vapor?

At sea level, water vapor accounts for about one percent of the atmosphere.  Overall, water vapor is 0.4% by mass, or about 10 times more than CO2. And experiments show that water vapor has even more heat-trapping power than CO2 or methane.

Given the much greater amount of water vapor, and its greater "greenhouse effect" per pound, why do you suppose Wiki omitted water vapor from what it claims is the composition of the atmosphere?

Because the warmies know humans have no control at all over the amount of water in the atmosphere.  (Recall that over three-fourths of the Earth's surface is ocean.)  If they'd included water vapor in the pie chart, it would make it too obvious that CO2 only accounts for a trivial amount of any global warming.  The vast majority of the greenhouse effect comes from water vapor--which again, humans can't control.

Do ya really think the folks at Wiki didn't know this?
