It does if you want to change anything.

I don't know about that. I've never seen an atomic explosion live so I
can't gauge it but I've also not heard of one spawing tornados so I don't
know how big an effect it would have. Mabey it could affect a really small
thunder storm.

I'm not saying we can't do anything if we really try. I mean heck it
wouldn't take much to start massive forest fires and burn down the
forests.. But what I am saying is if you think .038% to .040% change in the
mixture of CO2 to atmosphere is going to make squat difference to the
amount of reflected solar energy you deserve to have carbon credits deprive
the fool from his money.
