Unfortunately, the recent rise in anthropogenic CO2 caused by burning of fossil fuels is quite unprecedented, so past CO2 changes give us little information. This hasn’t happened before, so we cannot know what the effects might be.

First of all, humans account for barely 3% of ALL CO2 being released into the atmosphere.

Second, CO2 is a PLANT FOOD, not a POLLUTANT!

Third, Algore and his "diciples" are pushing their "religion" of global warming by quoting "the science is settled" with the same athourity that Jesus stated "I am the way, the truth, and the light."

One of these 2 statements is a lie, and I KNOW it is NOT the second one....

First of all, humans account for barely 3% of ALL CO2 being released into the atmosphere.

Possibly true. I'm not sure of your numbers. But utterly irrelevant.

For all practical purposes the other 97% circulates in the ecosphere, being removed from the atmosphere by plant growth and released back into the air when the plants (and the animals who feed on the plants and each other) decay or burn.

The net increase in CO2 we have been seeing for about the last 100 years is just about 100% anthropogenic, a result of burning fossil fuels that had sequestered massive amounts of carbon for millions of years.

Whether and how destructive that is can and should be debated. But that we are significantly increasing CO2 is just a fact. As is the fact that this has never occurred before and nobody on either side of the debate should be too positive on what its effects might be.
