Many of the experts (like Dr Hansen) dealing with global warming rightfully only look at what they think is going on and since the concentration of carbon dioxide (although I still have no idea how they can get an average concentration reading instantly all over the world) has increased, the culprit of global warming is this increase of carbon dioxide.

If we multiply that over ten years, and figure that the top billion or so of world population is responsible for the lion's share (say 80 %) of the emissions, could we then conclude that, on average, every member of that top billion (presumably including all on this forum) had contributed the energy equivalent of one Hiroshima bomb (or more) toward atmospheric global warming over the last decade?
