Does that mean we can fire up the BBQ again?

Compound speculation is NOT SCIENCE!!!!!

If, If, If, If, THEN WERE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!

Never forget that global warming is not a science, it is not a political position. Global warming is a religion....people who believe in its existence can never be convinced otherwise.

The “huge amounts” of carbon dioxide pumped into the air from industrial activity of ALL kinds, pale in comparison to the amount that comes naturally from decomposing plant matter and exhaled from the warming sea water beneath the tropic sun. Carbon dioxide is readily reabsorbed into water everywhere, where it provides a very important link in the growth of aquatic plant life, from sea grass to plankton, to floating seaweed. Carbon dioxide is CONSTANTLY being sequestered by the activity of photosynthesis, releasing oxygen into the atmosphere, at a pretty constant level. It took billions of years for oxygen to reach the levels (roughly 20%) it now stands at, and in fact, when carbon dioxide was even MORE plentiful than it now is, was perhaps even higher at one time.

Simply put, we the people, NEED oxygen. And without plentiful carbon dioxide, it would never be formed. Know this and know it for a certainty: Carbon dioxide is plant food. Without it, plants wither and die. It is our OBLIGATION to increase carbon dioxide to the degree we are able, to aid our plant life on this planet to grow and extend to its maximum limit.

There is no climate “cure”, because there is no climate “disease”. We rely on carbon-based fuel, and the excess carbon dioxide merely goes into accelerated and extended plant growth. So long as we encourage plant growth at every juncture, by cultivation and land management, the content of carbon dioxide shall never rise above about 0.05% concentration in the atmosphere.

Plants require carbon dioxide to conduct photosynthesis, and greenhouses may enrich their atmospheres with additional CO2 to boost plant growth, since its low present-day atmosphere concentration is just above the “suffocation” level for green plants. A photosynthesis-related drop in carbon dioxide concentration in a greenhouse compartment can kill green plants.

To global warming fanatics, global warming is real and capitalism is the problem. Never mind that the global temperature has only risen a year in the last 100 years. Never mind the fact that temperature records only go back so far. Never let the facts get in the way of a global warming argument

It almost sounds like it was designed that way.

Oh no! It's getting darker earlier. If this trend continues, there will be no daylight left at all, the crops and anaimals will die, the oceans will grow cold and we're all gonna die!!!

If's, maybe's, could's, possibly's. They need to rename this piece of enviro-alarmist trash to The New Junk Scientist. Find data that shows the possibility of a short term trend, then extend that trend to infinity, then shout how we're all gonna die. Envirowacko "science" at its very best.

This is an example of "pier" reviewed science publishing. All it's good for is dropping off a short pier. Oh, wait! That would cause more water pollution. Nevermind.
