No cushy UN job for YOU!
These "scientists" confine themselves to particular chemical compositions....discounting a billion other parts of the universe.
Seems always that way. Two of the biggest poisons alone, when combined together are used every day by humans and animals, it is called salt.
Waaah... up CO2 to 1000 ppm ... studies have shown in China and at Cornell (Algoria north) have shown increasing CO2 increases Crop Yields up to 400%. Slight increases of CO2 in same studies increase crop yields by 20%.
BRING IT ON...
Yes, they play off the reality that CO2 IS in fact a greenhouse gas but 'conveniently' ignore that there is no historical evidence that supports it being a problem at levels even close to what we are capable of producing. Perhaps, in a few 10s of thousands of years it might build up enough to be a problem. But by then we will almost certainly be onto to some new and more efficient means of energy.
LONG before then I should have said.
Um, it seems ManBearPig ate my data.

The first chart with the red and blue seems to show that CO2 levels are substantially higher now than at any time in the last 400K years. I’m not sure what you mean by being within 10-15 times the levels they are now? Are you referring to millions of years ago?
Repeat after me students: Correlation DOES NOT = Causation!
How can plant food in the form of 0.04% of the atmosphere be a creditable source of climate change? If one realizes how small of an amount of carbon dioxide is in the earth’s atmosphere, even the unwashed can use common sense and know more than the “educated” scientists.
Its not about climate, that was just the excuse they seized upon in order to redistribute income from wealthy nations into the pockets of a few people like Al Gore, Georgie Soros, and the UN.
I hope they all burn in a hell of their own making.
Even there the CO2 spike didn't precede the temp spike. ie, rising temps came first.
Especially when it's a *reverse* correlation! (rising temps preceding rising CO2 levels).
Precisely. CO2 is toxic to animals. It is nutrition to plants. As most hobbyists who have maintained aquariums know, CO2 is vital to the health of an ecosystem. The higher the CO2 level the better the plant growth.
The assumption that a species can imbalance the global biological system is based not on science but on atheism. Only in a godless universe would it be possible for a species to assume godlike proportions and dominate creation.
If we were to burn ALL oil, wouldn’t we simply return the atmosphere to the state it was in millions of years ago? Seems like life survived just fine back then.
The red and blue graph actually shows something I have been saying for years... CO2 levels increase in response to temperature increases, not the other way around. Why? Because God is such a good designer that He gave the Earth self-regulating processes. The increasing CO2 levels help to cool a heating planet. Besides... IT’S PLANT FOOD! Only the insane would consider it pollution.
Plants NEED CO2 in order for photosynthesis to work. With a higher CO2 level, plants won't have to work as hard to get the CO2 they need.
