Here you go.
"Just what are greenhouse gasses, anyway? A greenhouse gas is a gas
whose thermal properties is such that it retains the heat when
sunlight shines upon it. There are several such gasses found in our
atmosphere. By far, the most common of these is water vapor, good old
H2O. In fact, the amount of H2O in our atmosphere dwarfs all the other
greenhouse gasses. Of all the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere,
around 95% is H2O, and only 2% is CO2.
Of course no one claims that mankind is causing an increase in H2O in
the atmosphere; most of it comes from evaporation of the oceans. But
if CO2 accounts for only 2% of greenhouse gasses, why are we worried
about marginal increases?
Further, of the CO2 in the atmosphere, human activity accounts for
only a small percentage. Most CO2 enters the atmosphere from natural
processes. Man-causes only about 5% of it from activities such as
fossil fuel burning and breathing.
Wait another minute! CO2 accounts for only 2% of all greenhouse
gasses, and of that, only 5% is caused by human activity. This means
that our fossil fuel consumption and all the other activities that the
global warming crowd is trying to limit causes a grand total of 1/10th
of 1% of greenhouse gasses."

Now I don't know about you but 1/10th of 1% is a very very small number.
