"As I pointed out, the real question whether it matters that CO2 levels are now 100ppm higher than the historical highs." And the answer is 'yes'. As my links show. "There appears to be no consensus amongst scientists, although there clearly is amongst uninformed liberals." Looks like you have gotten Tenchu's dictionary. 'Consensus' does not mean 100%. Of scientists working in the field, a large majority are in agreement. "the likelihood of it harming the planet (which has, of course, survived a lot of bad stuff over the years) is pretty much nil." The planet will survive. It has survived having 99% of existing species being wiped out more than once. If you are a rock, no big deal. If you are an organism, well, the odds suck. Our output of CO2 is increasing at an exponential rate. Now, true, at some point you run out of fossil fuels and the problem solves itself. But, until then, exponential rates can cause big changes in a short period of time.
