>>btw there is probably no way any scientist is ever going to figure out exactly how much oxegen production we need...<<

Bull. What does "exactly" mean? Happily waiting for the third decimal in the error bar of some measurement ("These science yoyos...")? and in the mean time ignoring...

1. a major reduction in the mass of alpine glaciers in almost all parts of the world
2. an increase in permafrost thawing at high latitudes
3. ditto at high altitudes
4. a reduction in extent and thickness of Arctic sea-ice
5. later freeze-up and earlier break-up dates of ice on rivers and lakes
6. and an increase in the calving rate of Antarctic ice shelves
7. no evidence to think that these systems have a lag response to warming of 50 years or more - iow tightly coupled response to human-induced warming.
8. shifts in the distribution of of plant and animal species both latitudinally and longitudinally - count in humans
9. changes in phenomenology of plant leafing and flowering
10. storage of significant quantities of heat in the near-surface ocean
11 an overall rise in sea-level driven by both continental ice melting and a steric change due to the increase in overall ocean temperature (remember, water expands when heated)
12 remarkable increases in ground temperatures over the last millenium
