the earth is a system of checks and balances that pretty much keeps everything in equilibrium.
Remember that liberal thinking on global warming is the same static reasoning that concludes if you raise taxes to 100% you get even more revenue.

Enhanced biological carbon consumption in a high CO2 ocean

We're d@mned if we do, and we're d@mned if we don't. Some more particulars are described in the abstract, IMHO.

Algore converts oxygen to CO2, but he is a plant.

ROFL!

The IPCC reports detail the deficiencies in the earlier models (i.e. the ones that led to Kyoto) in great detail. They also show the wide range of “predictions” made by current models. So much for a “scientific consensus”.

Of course, these deficiencies all gets glossed over synopsis reports & is totally ignored by the MSM.

Look here for more:

Commercial greenhouses pump in CO2 at twice the atmospheric rate so they can get better growth and production. Stands to reason the response in the wild will be the same.

Wow. How completely unexpected. Who would have thought that organisms that eat CO2 would breed and increase when there was more of it....

“marine organisms known as plankton increase their carbon uptake in response to increased concentrations of dissolved CO2”

Gluttonous little ones! They’re going to get a tummy ache.

The next person to mention global warming, global cooling, greenhous gas or any phoney scientific term should be taken out and shot down like the dog he is. (courtesy of the movie Jesse James)!
