Fine Hawaii!

I like it fine...until I have to mow the yard in 90% humidity and 95 degrees. LOL

Historical data shows human civilization flourished during periods of relative warmth.
So regardless of the link with CO₂ we need not be afraid of warming.

Ping.

CO2 is plant food.
Without it we all die.

If everyone who believes CO2 is a dangerous pollutant stops emitting it personally we could solve this problem overnight.

CO2 and warming are bad because they helps plants to grow, which in turn helps to feed people, but the Evnviro-weenies and the elites want to kill off a large part of mankind.

Can’t have people thriving.

Think I'll go out to the garage and start up my '58 Impala with a big block V8, and let it idle for an hour. Later, I'll take it for a ride and open it up on a nearby rural road. The exhaust Co2 will be good for life on planet Earth. Plus, I'll blow out the carbon build up on the pistons from idling so long. It will cost me some gas, but it's the least I can do to pay back the rock that supports me.

For you millenials who don't know a piston from a steering wheel, ask your fathers. Oh wait, many of you don't have fathers or too metro to understand an internal combustion motor. Either way, your welcome for me adding to your food supply.

Atmospheric CO2 concentration is a LAGGING INDICATOR of climactic temperature.

When I was a kid, I read an illustrated version of Jules Verne’s novella “Dr. Ox’s Experiment”, which I found to be very entertaining, even if, as I knew then, technically inaccurate.

People lived in a windless valley, that had over time built up an overabundance of CO2, leading it to become a very relaxed, peaceful place. A Dr. Ox and his assistant arrive with the promise of free gas lighting via hydrogen produced through electrolysis, with the extra oxygen just released into the air. He has ulterior motives, but the end result is some light comedy.

The only error was that Verne assumed that more oxygen would make plants grow better.

The liberals will next ban oxygen as it is a far more potent greenhouse gas then carbon dioxide....

My hypothesis is that they were right in the 70s (impending Ice Age), but for the wrong reasons.

The solar minimum is upon us, the irony being that without industrialization we might have been a couple volcanic events or other minor cosmic event away from ice-sheet city.

I believe that when certain events coincide with the solar minimum - terrestrial or otherwise - the planet dips into a deep freeze until another set of events trigger its release.

We may never know what brought about the end of the last ice age for certain, as I believe that the whole “ice core gas sampling” thing is defective in premise, an associative argument for global warming no different than fat was to the lipid hypothesis.

Small minds...
