I gotta hand it to you Geo - you make a minor mixup between one molecule
and 300 thousand million million million, and yet you've got a snappy
analogy for a comeback.

I keep telling you that what matters is whether a photon will be captured
by a CO2 molecule. Every 47 nanometers, in all three dimensions, the photon
will find another CO2 molecule that it might hit.

In travelling through a SMALL room, the photon would have 300 thousand
million million million CO2 molecules that it might hit.

Faced with such numbers, many people would consider that some quite serious
investigations would be required to determine what's going on, rather than
coming up with lame analogies.
