SnP, You are correct that co2 levels have been higher than current levels in the past. They've been high enough to be incompatible with sentient life at times. The rate of change in co2 is unprecedented however, suggesting that the natural carbon sinks are not adapting as quickly as they need to. Rising ocean levels will eventually inundate low lying coastal plains. This will sink carbon into reefs and lower co2, but that takes time. We will also eventually run out or stop using carbon based sources of energy, but not quickly. Part of the debate is how willing are we to let these processes happen? Relocating Houston into a drought stricken Texas (both predicted by climate models) to make room for new coral reefs will cause a huge financial problem. But not for me, and not likely for my children. Like the national debt, we can just pass these issues on. Let the good times roll! http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/co2/sio-mlo.html ncdc.noaa.gov
