The real concern over greenhouse gasses is not what humans can dump into the atmosphere, it is pushing the balance to the point that the real carbon sinks start to give up their carbon to the atmosphere... If the methane (a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2 by a wide margin) tied up in the hydrates on the ocean floor were released, that could have enormous effects on the climate, possibly pushing the Earth to the point of unihabitability. And that stuff could be released by a small temperature change. I think there is some truth in what you say but if the balance was so easy to move so disastrously, then it would have been moved off balance and the disaster would have happened. Temperatures have varied greatly in earth's past, much more than any reasonably possible human caused global warming cause, without any runaway greenhouse effect or uninhabitable planet. Tim P. S and while we are debating global warming AMD is down to 67. Maybe we should change the subject... Tim
