Or, how about Income per Capita vs CO2 Emissions per Capita:

Hmmm... so if we dump more CO2 into the atmosphere we will all end up 100 year old millionares?

Is anyone surprised?

Industrialized nations have higher CO2 emissions and higher life expectancy?   rolleyes

Anybody know what percentage the human contribution to the overall greenhouse gas load on the planet happens to be? As compared to the total contribution from natural sources?  There ought to be some long-lived rich bogs out there.

Correlation is not causation.

I think the relationship is interesting.  Policies that drive down our emission of CO2 may have some unintended consequences.

The consequences aren't unintended at all . . . particularly when foreign interests are pushing policies which primarily impact the USA.

Role of Atmospheric Greenhouse Gases (man-made and natural) as a % of Relative Contribution to the "Greenhouse Effect"

Based on concentrations (ppb) adjusted for heat retention characteristics:

GAS TYPE
Percent total / Total Adjusted for water vapor

Water vapor
95.000% / 95.000%

Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
72.369% / 3.618%
 
Methane (CH4)
7.100% / 0.360%

Nitrous oxide (N2O)
19.000% / 0.950%

CFC's (and other misc. gases)
1.432% / 0.072%

RealClimate - Water Vapour Feedback or Forcing?

I should really make some sort of bingo board.
