During the past 100 years, humans burning coal and oil have increased
the atmosphere's concentration of carbon dioxide [CO2] --the main
greenhouse gas --by 25%, and the concentration is still rising.

1. Where is the science that proves "burning coal and oil have increased
the
atmosphere's concentration of carbon dioxide [CO2] -- the main greenhouse
gas --by 25%"?

Problematic since it's not true AIUI.


2. What IS the "main greenhouse gas"?

Water vapour AIUI.


3. What percentage of the "greenhouse gasses" is comprised of CO2?

4. Does CO2 lag or lead temperature?

Lag. Big time.


5. Current levels of CO2 are about 380 ppm. Is this higher, or much
lower,
than the average the planet has experienced?

Within the normal range.

Only the Carboniferous period had CO2 levels as low as they are presently.

Shows levels as high as 470 ppm as recently as the 1940's
