After watching that show and the effects of the weather, it seemed to me that within the parameters above 7 degrees above 4 degrees below we would be better off with the global warming then the global ice age. jdn
Yes, if they were predicting global cooling instead of warming, imagine how dire they would be - crop failures! starvation! running out of fuel! etc.
I find it strange that I rarely see discussed one obvious source of higher CO2 in the atmosphere - the shear numbers of mammals on the planet today. When you add up the 6 billion humans and all their assorted livestock - cows, sheep, pigs, horses, dogs, cats, poultry, etc. there must be more than 10 times the animals on the planet, compared to a hundred years ago, all of them breathing in oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide. And relatively less forest cover to use the CO2.
I read somewhere that carbon release due to burning fuels was estimated to account for only 7% of atmospheric CO2, while respiration was estimated at 20%. Surely that means that even if every country on the planet cut carbon emissions, it would make very little difference? |
