No, the problem I am having is that they not only don't have enough data (less than a hundred years of even well recorded data), but it has always been collected in uncontrolled environments, with always different instruments, and even their explanations are bogus. I mean, the hottest recorded day was in the 30s.  And wee actually just experienced the coldest winter in I forget how many decades.  They may say it is all climate change due to carbon emissions or whatever, but the problem is they have no proof.  You show me a graph showing the change over 10,000 years with the 0 year being when cars were first made.  Then, wee'll at least have a basis for a debate.  Also, the amount of carbon in the atmosphere is so unbelievably minute, that it also isn't swaying me.
"nitrogen (78.1%), oxygen (20.9%), argon (0.96%), followed by (in uncertain order) carbon and hydrogen because water vapor and carbon dioxide, which represent most of these two elements in the air, are variable components" is the first stat I can find, but it sounds close to what I remember in most Chemistry text books I've read.  I'm sorry, but for every bit of evidence they give in favor of "Extreme Climate Change" or whatever they are calling it nowadays, there is just as much evidence to disprove it.   For every politician (usually) or scientist who says they believe it exists, there are hundreds more who disagree completely.
