"There is none. Heat retention does not cause increases in atmospheric CO2. It causes decreases."

Wrong. See a previous post on the effect of temperature on the solubility of CO2 in water. This is ONE such effect. I'm sure there are others, probably some yet to be discovered. The atmosphere and the geo- and bio-chemical cycles governing its composition are VERY complex.

The point is that we simply do NOT have sufficient data on causes or effects to take drastic action. The CORRECT thing to do at this point in time is to keep studying the complex cycles, taking better measurements, and building better models--using REAL open science instead of the current politicized IPCC stuff.

See #65.

There's plaenty of good data. The effect is insignificant, until another ~80, or so years. In the mean time, there's plenty of time to install nukes.
