Whenever I encounter a strident climate change cult adherant, I ask this question.

"What percentage of the earth's atmosphere is CO2?"

It's amazing the wild answers I get. Clearly the climate hysteria has been ingrained!

A very few of these climate enthusiasts will say "420 parts per million" but when I ask them what that in percent, no one yet has provided the correct answer but I'm still collecting opinions.

My last question to them is this. "So you think a gas that makes up 0.042% of our atmoshere can cause our planet to warm so much that it will cause our world to burn?"

Rational people would answer "of course not" but the majority are sadly not critical thinkers which is why we have gotten into so many propaganda pickles of late....

People used to use Venus as an example or proof --

Venus's Atmospheric Pressure is 100X that of the Earth,

and the Atmosphere is about 90% CO2, not 0.04% --

So, about a factor of 2000 times different!
