The unchecked use of fossil fuels will produce a climate not seen since the Triassic period about 200 million years ago, researchers warn in a new report.
The culprit for this unprecedented warming is atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), suggest researchers led by the University of Southampton in the UK, which by the year 2250 could reach levels equivalent to those of the “age of reptiles,” when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
In their research, the researchers admit that CO2 levels are “much lower now” than they have been at other, hotter points in the earth’s history, yet they warn that levels are rising rapidly.
During hotter periods in the planet’s history, the concentration of CO2 has climbed as high as 3,000 parts per million (ppm), whereas in 2016, the concentration was only 400 ppm.

So why should we give a damn about something that might happen in 2250?
Especially if by then the robots will have taken over.
Are they concerned that our robot overlords will be more likely to rust in a more humid atmosphere?
How thoughtful.
Why don’t they remove all the CO2 from the atmosphere, that would solve the problem. They need to get the atmosphere to at least 75% O2. That would make all of them happy.
CO2 will cause time travel now?

Cool! I’ve always wanted to ride a Triceratops.
Great observation. Science for sale...
Predictions about things that will happen after the predictor dies usually involve the word "will."
I predict that LA could have a major snowstorm next winter. I guarantee LA will have a major snowstorm in the next 100 years.
Cool! I’ll bring the beer
The unchecked use of fossil fuels will produce a climate not seen since the Triassic period about 200 million years ago, what caused the the Triassic period? HAHAHA Humans? Morons..
1. What is wrong with being warm?
2. The dinosaurs were big because of more cO2. I wouldn’t mind being taller.
3. How do more taxes solve the planet warming up?
CO2 levels have been MUCH higher than today at many times in earth’s history. This fear-mongering is getting out of hand.

I assume “tri-assic” refers to a horrible dark period controlled by a commie POTUS, gutless Congress, and idiot activist leftist judiciary. If so, we are actually just emerging from such a hideous epoch, so I don’t know why this Chicken Little is so alarmed about one NOW.
