Answer: Infinitesimal The IPCC now agrees. See the IPCC Technical Report section entitled Global Warming Potential (GWP). And the GWP for CO2? Just 1, (one), unity, the lowest of all green house gases (GHG). What’s more, trace gases which include GHG constitute less than 1% of the atmosphere. Of that 1%, water vapor, the most powerful GHG, makes ups 40% of the total. Carbon dioxide is 1/10th of that amount, an insignificant .04%. If carbon dioxide levels were cut in half to 200PPM, all plant growth would stop according to agricultural scientists. It's no accident that commercial green house owner/operators invest heavily in CO2 generators to increase production, revenues and profits. Prof. Michael Mann's Bristle cone tree proxy data (Hockey stick) proves nothing has done more to GREEN (verb) the planet over the past few decades than moderate sun-driven warming (see solar inertial motion) together with elevated levels of CO2, regardless of the source. None of these facts have been reported in the national media. Why?

The myth that carbon dioxide (CO2) in our atmosphere is responsible for controlling temperature was not allowed to be scientifically explained, even in most peer renewed journals. The barrier of political correctness ruled supreme to the everlasting failure of the media. Our pols still have the "bit in their teeth" with that supreme idiot at the helm of Gov't backing them. It will be to our everlasting sorrow if we allow cap and trade to become law. It will be the triumph of chutzpah over science that ruined our great country.
