"That said, there are no f*cking ways to read the CO2 contents or what's more important here the CO2 dx/dt from back then million years ago. "

Well, I grant you that you are able to invent novel physical and chemical properties to feed your positions. Personally, I'd rather believe that such processes are similar to what we have now instead of assuming that they operated differently in the past like you have to for your thesis to work.

The fact of the matter is that to explain certain deposits, CO2 levels had to fall in certain ranges. Likewise temperature. To posit otherwise, you have to take as an assumption that chemistry was operating differently than it does now. Which means you have to make unnecessary assumptions. Sir Occam wouldn't like that.

But, let's ignore that for the moment. For your theories to work, you have to assume that the vast majority of climate scientists have been colluding together to push these ideas for the past decades for reasons that aren't really clear. To the point where they change and/or make up data that is self-consistent and have managed to subvert the peer review process and block everyone else. All without any leaks or even hints of what is going on.

And that is nuts.
