I wonder who\how\when zero was determined ? and what IS zero?

We are still coming out of the last Ice Age.
Indonesia alone pumps out a tremendous amount of co2 and soot from all their cooking fires. it can be seen from outer space. There are cooking fires in India, Africa, South America and the rest of the planet.
Are we talking about threshold effects where the addition of one more unit of co2 sudden shifts temperature increases upwards, or a dose dependent phenomenon where each unit of co2 corresponds to a unit increase in temperature?
Nonsense! CO2 cannot be seen! Soot can be seen.
The population has exploded since then and we need more to sustain plant life for food...and that includes food for critters. The universe is self balancing.
Are we talking about threshold effects where the addition of one more unit of co2 sudden shifts temperature increases upwards, or a dose dependent phenomenon where each unit of co2 corresponds to a unit increase in temperature?
Either way:
“Back when the dinosaurs were alive, carbon dioxide levels in the air were five times as high as they are today. The world did not come to an end.”
“Back when the dinosaurs were alive, global temperatures were so high that there were no polar ice caps. The world did not come to an end.”
And so what if it is?
Is there any evidence that a warmer Earth is going to be catastrophic? Are we supposed to return to a Dark Ages standard of living to keep this from happening?
Anyways, I'd rather have a warmer Earth than a colder one.
I live in northern Kentucky. 15,000 years ago a massive, continental glacier was 50 miles from my house. Before man had burned the first lump of coal that glacier had receded to northern Canada. Man made, my big toe.
Just like that, all the volcanoes presently jave no effect on the earth’s atmosphere???
You mean for the last million years?
Man is the only one who can measure the earth’s temperature... why shouldn’t we affect it... buwahahaha
Any civilized society is dependent on some source of energy.
How do you create energy without producing CO2?
About to go into another one, contrary to the liberal belief system.
Plus, correlation isn’t the same as cause.
Are these the same folks that were predicting we were entering n ice age back in the 70s?
Technically we are still in an Ice Age - the Quatenary. A period of geologic time characterized by cyclic continental glaciation. For the last 10,000 - 20,000 years we’ve been in a warming lull with some ups and downs. If you look at the past cycles it looks like we could be headed into a major glaciation. No one knows if it’s soon a few years, 100 years or 1000 years. Nothing man did to cause it, nothing man can do to stop it. It’s a natural event. There have been many Ice Ages.
I do not dispute that the earth has been and is getting warmer , as it ought to considering the effects of the industrial age and wars, but that the benefits of this outweigh negatives, and that God over-engineered the earth to adjust to variables as man-induced warming or cooling, but with the latter being more problematic.
However, my forecast does not include Divine Judgment which will come, and as with Covid, both the disease and the cure (over-reactionary) were and are judgments. More to come.
Meanwhile the Left warns (as in the 70s):
World population too big to feed by 2050 The world population could be too big to feed itself by 2050. By then, there will be almost 10 billion people on the planet and food demand will have increased by 70 percent compared to 2017. Scientists put the limit on how many people Earth can feed at 10 billion - max!
While on the other hand
World Food Supply is Increasing Faster Than Population Growth for a Better World The world population is growing at about 1.1% each year and world food production is increasing at a faster rate.Thank God. January 25, 2020 by Brian Wang
The food supply is increasing more ??? make no sense...people are staring all over the world.
OIL is ORGANIC...God allowed us to discover this naturally occuring carbon in many forms. Eventually God will allow us to have another source on HIS timetable and not a second sooner. When those that promote ideas when not believers I suggest that their is influence from the king of lies.
