uhh.. oh wait.. what was it long before man ever showed up?
Ooooooh, We are doomed!
Remember when Ted Danson gave earth tens year till Dooms Day? What’s it been now, 15 years?
Our planet has built-in balancing systems. For example, if a species in a region becomes over populated some natural calamity will come along to re-balance it. If one hemisphere becomes heavier than the other, the globe will naturally rotate and what was north will become south. Australia will no longer be down under. And all our drains will reverse.
1st qtr, 2014 U.S. economic growth was at .01% indicating that the economic degrowth goal of “Sustainable Development/Agenda 21” as adopted by the U.S. has largely been met. This also fulfills the machevellian wish of Maurice Strong, UN Chairman of UNCED aka The Rio Earth Summit where in 1992 he articulated the veiled intentions of the “Plan for the 21st Century - Sustainable Development/Agenda 21” by saying this in regard to our “unsustainable” high consumption of natural resources which is, according to them destroying the Earth; “...isen’t it our responsibility to bring about the collapse of the industrialized countries?” Now, to become truly as “Sustainable” as perhaps Bangladesh, more vital work is quickly needed to further collapse and “Degrow” the American economy. This will be accomplished by more draconian restrictions on business and energy use which will be mandated by arbitrary regulations spawned by the bogus hype to save the planet from the dread effects of antropogenic Global Warming aka Climate Change aka Climate Disruption.
Oh No what will the plants do?
Oh yeah, they will thrive. LOL

dramatic statements, and little mention of any doubts one might

effective and being honest.”
In the movie This Is It, Michael Jackson said we had four years left before environmental destruction would be irreversible. He’s been dead five years, so I have to assume we’re already totally screwed.
Right. Rocketing up to 0.04%. I can hardly breathe.
These phony figures are based off a monitoring station in Hawaii right next to an active volcano that corrupts all the data. Google “Hawaii vog” and you will see the vog (volcanic smog) has been exceptionally bad this year because of extended periods of no trade winds. That’s how you get phony CO2 readings supposedly increasing.
Where are we now? Is he still really, really, really concerned or has he moved on to really, really, really, really concerned?
Wanna bet by this summer and fall we will hear nothing of obummercare, the VA, unemployment or Beghazi, only how only obummer can save the planet?
Ambient atmosphere contains roughly 76& Nitrogen and roughly 20% Oxygen, depending on the weather, and other variables.
That leaves roughly 4% of what we breathe to be all other gases, including CO2.
When we purged a room we would add pure Nitrogen. Within a matter of hours, length of time depending on the size of the room, the room would be at 5% or less Oxygen. Most of the other gases and Oxygen were displaced by the Nitrogen.
The Oxygen levee was then allowed to drift down to 1 to 1.5%. The CO2 level would be .2 to .3%. It was kept there by either mechanical CO2 scrubbers or lots of bags of lime.. The apples could then be kept for 9 to 10 months before packing and selling.
And yet this is a HIGHER level than the Medieval Warming period and the world is substantially cooler now than then. Oh, yeah, and there’s been no actual warming increase in almost 20 years now.
Time to panic? Only if you’re a cohort of third world dictators trying to dupe the U.S. into forking over trillions of free money to them because somehow third world countries will be more affected by the warming that hasn’t been happening .
I could throw in a /sarc, but that probably isn't really necessary.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
We are ok on this one. Just wanted to let everyone know that I have 2 containers on my deck with really healthy spinach. It is providing me with awesome fresh greens; and helping to drive down that CO2 level for the planet.
Everyone can back away from from the ledge now; its going to be ok.
400PPM.
That means that 4/100 of one percent of the atmosphere is CO2.
Or, to put it another way, 99.96% of the atmosphere is NOT CO2.
If the time is running out, screw it. Party like it’s 2999.
.... Of course it is!! The increased amount of volcanic activity is releasing more CO2 as magma rises from the depths of the Earth then belching it into the atmosphere.
