Human activity is responsible for that rise and the rise of other greenhouse gases.

Hate when that happens.

Good news is the human race is fizzling out.

Thanks for printing. I couldn’t pull up the original article.

So, if there is more CO2 in the air, does that mean my Coke wont explode when I open it?

The plants will love it. Maybe my yard might start to look better.

Human activity is responsible for that rise and the rise of other greenhouse gases

This is the conclusion they began with and then cherry-picked all the data they could find agreeing with them and systematically avoiding all evidence to the contrary.P>Welcome to the twisted world of agenda-based science.

Human activity is responsible for that rise and the rise of other greenhouse gases.

The article was thin on facts from the start, then lost all credibility when the "human activity" BS was injected without any evidence or support for the claim.

The solubility of gas in liquids is inversely proportional to temperature.

In other words, as the oceans cool down, they will absorb more carbon dioxide. Just as well, as the oceans warm up, they will release previously-absorbed carbon dioxide.

Al Gore contends that increased carbon dioxide levels is the cause, and increased global temperatures is the effect, but he likely has the cause and effect backwards.

Then, as warming intensified, the cap came off, and the carbon dioxide escaped so quickly, and so thoroughly, that Sikes and her colleagues could find very little trace of it in the carbon 14 they examined in their samples.

Today, the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere has been rising in the past 200 years, pushing the levels in the ocean up. Human activity is responsible for that rise and the rise of other greenhouse gases.

Wait a minute!! In the first "scientific" statement, natural "warming" intensified and with it atmospheric CO2 intensified as well.

But, then, in the second instance, ALL such additional CO2 is "man made" and NOT a RESULT of a continuing "warming" cycle?

How convenient!!

It seems to me that CO2 and "warming" is really a "chicken and egg" question that science has not really answered, but one which, to me will be answered with natural "warming" cycles being recognized as the production engines for greater atmospheric CO2, not the other way around.

“...carbon 14, the isotope that guides scientists in evaluating the rate of decay of everything from shells to trees. “

Sorry, but this article is very muddled, e.g., the above statment. There are other statements as well that don’t make much sense. It could be an interesting study, but needs some technical clean-up.

[UCANSEE2]

Will it help if I throw all our pop and beer out of the cooler, and into the sea?

Don’t want our children to suffer should there be a shortage of CO2 on the ocean bottom in the future.

...Oh what a relief it is.
