For your ping list...
Someone tell me what the ‘correct value’ of atmospheric CO2 is? Is it now too high, or is it too low? And how would we know?
We face two risks: Too much warming or too much cooling. The consequences of the latter are far worse than the former. So the conclusion is inevitable: It would be wiser to err on the side of too much warming, rather than too much cooling.
It is too high, by the exact amount caused by Americans driving SUVs.
And how would we know?
Nobel Prize/Oscar winner Al Gore says so.
It is the height of arrogance to think we can have any effect either way.
Hey Bambi, ask your climate czar to regulate water and clouds immediately, before it's too late!
There was once a “Normal” setting for the Earth’s thermostat.
And only Al Gore knows what it is......
CO2 levels of up to 2500 PPM are not considered hazardous to life. The earth has had levels this high in its history. Of course zero CO2 would cause all plant life to die, and that would eventually kill everything. I’d say as long as the level is around 200 PPM, plants can adapt. So my answer is somewhere between 200 and 2500 PPM.
Now if a final figure warms the planet from a baseline a few degrees, then I think most life will adapt. Hey if we discovered a planet that had an average temperature 5 degrees warmer than the earth presently is, we’d all want to move there, even if there weren’t any polar caps and polar bears, especially if the real estate was cheap and there weren’t any taxes.
Where did that come from? Is it real? I ask a serious rhetorical question and get real data ... can’t be.
I got it from Dr. Soon.
OK, can you give a link, I would be really interested in reading this.
You have freepmail.
Cool! Thanks!!!
