I wonder how much methane a planetful of dinosaurs could make? Did they cause their own extinction via global warming?

Scripps must not be very good in that math stuff. Water vapor is about 95-97% of all greenhouse gases. CO2 cannot be THE major greenhouse gas.

No smoking hot spot 1. The greenhouse signature is missing. We have been looking and measuring for years, and cannot find it.
Each possible cause of global warming has a different pattern of where in the planet the warming occurs first and the most. The signature of an increased greenhouse effect is a hot spot about 10km up in the atmosphere over the tropics. We have been measuring the atmosphere for decades using radiosondes: weather balloons with thermometers that radio back the temperature as the balloon ascends through the atmosphere. They show no hot spot. Whatsoever.
If there is no hot spot then an increased greenhouse effect is not the cause of global warming. So we know for sure that carbon emissions are not a significant cause of the global warming. If we had found the greenhouse signature then I would be an alarmist again.

It is quite common for greenhouses to inject additional CO2 to maintain around 1000 ppm. If you search around, it is easy to find suppliers of such systems.
Clearly the CO2 Warmists hate poor people and want to starve them.

levels of the gas exceeded 400 parts per million for the first time...during that 50 year span, which does not include prior periods when it was ten or more times that high, and life thrived.

I remember when they said this concentration would be a global disaster.
I remember protesters caring 400 signs.

"saturated with carbon dioxide"
A person who writes words for a living ought to learn the meaning of the words they use, instead of trying to terrorize others with false claims like this.
Not just "saturated" but "INCREASINGLY saturated." That's a much higher order of ignoramce.
To: NormsRevenge
Carbon Dioxide is not the major greenhouse gas, water vapor is. The diagram is wrong.
Considering CO2 is a trailing indicator, it would stand to reason that it would continue to rise even after the temperature leveled off.
So, wait for it.
If there really is a problem, we can always panic later.

To be as scientifically imprecise as the moonbats, since it takes carbon content to make ordinary iron into steel, maybe we need to mine more iron to sequester carbon in by making steel, and then build things with the steel...

Is this the reading they got from the top of Mauna Loa, a freakin' active volcano? Same measurement has been made worldwide although a little lower and less annual wiggle in the southern hemisphere.

An Icelandic Volcano that erupted recently, produced more CO2 in four days than all the supposed reductions by man in CO2 for the last 40 years. True. But while natural CO2 lags warming, manmade made CO2 is far higher than what we would get from warming after the Little Ice Age. With about a 1C naturak rise in temperature we should see 5-10 ppm rise in CO2. Instead there is a 120 ppm rise so far.

In fact paleo-climate experts seem in agreement that elevated CO2 levels occur on average about 800 years *after* warming spikes That is true. But the rise in CO2 is about 5-10 ppm per 1C rise in temperature. So we can say that 5-10ppm of the current is natural, the rest is almost certainly manmade. There's a tiny bit of wiggle room for outgassing we are not aware of and smooothing of ice cores, but not much.

a single large volcano eruption would be enough to trigger an ice age Possible in the cold direction. But volcanoes don't put out much CO2 compared to humans so not in the warm direction. Your greater point is valid though, there is a lot of thermal inertia and negative feedback that would prevent any such catastrophe.
