Maurice, I'll bite. The Earth's climate has changed without our intervention before. That's no reason not to worry that we are changing it now. Recent research suggests that the last ice age may have ended in just a few years. www4.nationalacademies.org . It's quite possible the warming we are inducing could take us back to another ice age. The Earth's climate seems to have multiple quasi-stable equilibria; who knows where we'll end up if we leave the quasi-equilibrium we've been in for 11 000 years? We're returning carbon to the biosphere that was sequestered millions of years ago. No one besides you, Maurice, claims to know the effect of this experiment. Perhaps you're right, and releasing the carbon will restore things to how they were. That might be worse than another ice age. We evolved after the carbon and hydrocarbons were laid down. Be careful what you wish.
