“””But CO2 does play a role in climate as a greenhouse gas, and it makes sense to keep track of it and see what possible effects it may have so we can adapt to any possible changes.”””
One could write all day, every day about the horsepuckey of C02 and Globull Warming. C02 is Plant Food. It is true that with more C02, the planet is more green, since the green things (plants) have more food. I have mentioned previously that it would be great to have C02 production awards. More C02 means more life. Most EVERY lifeform on the planet is carbon-based.
Also, I have enlightened a few liberals with the fact that not very long ago, New York and Chicago were under a mile of ice; and will be again. There is nothing we can do to stop the coming cold. We can adapt. There will be little, short Ice Ages, and then long, long periods of cold. We used to questimate that the short periods of warmth between the long periods of cold were about 10,000 to 15,000 years long. We are overdue for some significant cold. I would love to move into the future, when much of the northern US is under ice, and visit the future Comedy Channel, with replays of AlGore and all the other flimfan creeps.
One of the things that the ADW (or climate change) clowns fail to acknowledge is that CO2 is a trace element in the atmosphere. Without CO2, life doesn’t exist. If I remember correctly, CO2 is 0.04 % of the atmosphere. I have heard that if it drops to 0.02 percent, the planet starts to die.
