Even with people staying in, carbon dioxide is breaking records [since record-keeping began at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii way back in 1958]

During the Jurassic era the CO2 levels were 400 times higher than they are today. There were lush jungles that could sustain 100-ton dinosaurs. The biomass of the planet was at a record high. The Earth was never more alive than it was then. CO2 levels today are about 0.04% (400 parts per million), which is just enough for plants to survive. If it drops to 150 PPM or lower plants will starve and die worldwide and render 90% of all species extinct (which has also happened before). More CO2 improves crop yield, increases forestation, and has many other benefits.

Hey, I am still waiting to plant Tomatoes here in Zone 6!

Didn’t Krakatoa just explode and launch major particulates into the earths atmosphere? Gosh. Think that may effect CO2 levels?

Not that I know of. But people may be drinking more soda.

So this just proves increased carbon dioxide levels aren’t necessarily the fault of man.

I don’t know, it has been really cold where I live since the pandemic took hold. I’m sure it’s because of the reduced traffic.

No, The record-breaking cold weather was from a southward plunge of the jet stream in place to the east of the Rockies. That allowed a pipeline of cold air to dive southward from Canada into parts of the central and eastern United States. (https://weather.com/forecast/regional/news/2020-05-07-mothers-day-weekend-record-cold-snow-bombogenesis-extreme-pattern)

Yeah, but that would have never been able to happen it the car traffic had not been reduced.

That is up to you to prove.

It is too short a time to "prove" this, but they cannot say that CV restrictions powered CO2

Now i am going to get some sleep.

Almost like these climate alarmists are a bunch of liars and scammers, isn’t it?

For months, it has been eerily quiet here. Cars rarely drive by, and even fewer planes. Much of the world has seemingly shut down for weeks, yet they say CO2 is rising... Then they are wrong about their remedies for the supposed human-caused climate change.

Refusal to do so manifests that you do not want to be with Him who is perfect

Failing to be convinced by specious arguments or scanty evidence does not indicate any such thing.

"Wanting" something to be true should not influence your reasoning faculties.

I never argued "wanting something to be true" but that of a desire for what/who is supremely Good versus the opposite.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. (John 3:19-21)
