Reducing CO2 is surely something good. The problem is that Kyoto suggests a wrong path.
"Reducing CO2 is surely something good."
Increasing CO2 is good for plants. Plants are what we eat.
Don't you like plants?
I have often wondered if socking away carbon in oil and coal deposits is what is responsible for the demise of Mega-Fauna (dinosaurs, giant sloths, stc, etc). Maybe the bio-available carbon got below some critical threshold where they could not survive. Maybe our digging that stuff up and releasing the carbon back to the biosphere will result in a new explosion of life on this planet. What the hey, it makes sense to me.
Why is reducing CO2 a good thing?
You're obviously not a vegetarian. Or for that matter a meat eater (since many animals eat plants), or for that matter a thinker...
Reducing CO2 is surely something good.
Why would you want to do that? We are near the lowest CO2 levels in the history of the planet.
Based on what criterion? This assumes that the current levels of CO2 are optimal or higher than optimal. Optimal for whom? By what measure? If solar emmissions are decreasing and cooler temperatures are undesirable, a person living in Moscow might quite reasonably disagree.
Turn off nature???
Shut down the carbon cycle now.
