True, but I gather ReinyDays better understands that gas chemistry is not analogous to firing a bullet through grass. The real question boils down to just how many collisions or reaction opportunities are likely to occur? Unlike cars and planes, gas molecules are constantly banging off one another. Generally, warmer air tends to rise, but specifically, it goes up, down, sideways, cattycorner, up, sideways down,.. lucky not to bang into every damned molecule within miles along the way, not to mention every wave of light. Then some wavelengths of radiation will match better with CO2's bonding geometry than others and likely be absorbed while others pass unimpeded. More of an impedance matching issue than one of concentration, I'd betNo matter how you count it, CO2 is still only 400 parts per million.
