It was to question the argument that the CO2 level , now or 10 million years ago, was consistent around the planet.

The argument that CO2 was at such a high level in what we believe was a heavily overgrown tropical jungle, and therefore it was the same everyone on Earth, seems questionable.

Outside, it can be 50 degrees. A cloud passes by and the temperature drops to 40 degrees.

This happens in two minutes. What was the temperature, then, 40 or 50 ?

If you take a measurement of CO2 over a dense Amazonian forest, and take a measurement of CO2 at the side of a backed up interstate highway, will the measurement be the same ?

I was speaking to figures for 130 mya and 500 mya not 10 mya. There were no interstates then. At a given altitude the CO2 levels would be relatively the same. Certainly not 18X higher than in other places.
