The reason the IPCC was set up back in the 80s was that CO2 levels were clearly going up, and the planet seemed to be warming Sigh my @ss!! Show me where the IPCC EVER considered that depleted phytoplankton levels MIGHT be causing elevated CO2 levels!! All they state is that rising CO2 might harm the oceans and acidify it. They don't acknowledge the fact that phytoplankton depletion MIGHT BE THE CAUSE. Believe me, with the plethora of phytoplankton types out there, I'm sure there are varieties that can exist in almost any kind of CO2 environment, given sufficient nutrients to grow. Look.. the paleo-climatic record shows that CO2 levels were MUCH HIGHER than today. Which means that SINCE THEN all of that CO2 has been sequestered by various means, either via floral absorption, or chemical interaction yielding carbonates and hydrocarbons. We also have STRONG evidence that the majority of hydrocarbon deposits derived from algal sediments. So it just stretches credulity when they don't recognize that phytoplankton depletion levels of up to 30% might not be the actual driver of elevated CO2 levels. Again.. when you're going to diagnose the patient, one should attempt to figure out what has happened that prevents the patient from warding off the infection. If CO2 is the "infection", then could it be because the planet's "immune" system has malfunctioned?? AND IT CERTAINLY HELPS TO REVIEW THE PATIENTS LONG TERM "MEDICAL HISTORY" WITH REGARD TO PREVIOUS INCIDENCES OF THE OBSERVED SYMPTOMS. And btw, the IPCC is hardly credible. It's admitted that many of it's models have been flawed, and there are THOUSANDS of experienced scientific minds who have contested it's findings. Hawk
