But what if it is? You can "but what if", anything. For it to actually be a serious concern you have to show that its a serious concern, not meerly that you can think of it, or that there is some possibility however small, or even that once, under very different conditions, a very long time ago, it happened. What if there is only a 10% chance todays AGW is analogous. And what if its 100% chance (not matter what changes we make), or a 0.000000001% chance. It doesn't matter what causes the CO2 to increase It does if the factor that caused it to increase, also does other things. Different factors may not have those "other things" associated with them, or might happen under different conditions. 1) Volcanos raised CO2 levels which raised the temperature 5 degrees and caused mass extinction on land. That is going on right now No it isn't. Also frequently in the past temperatures have been higher than they are now, without any sign of mass extinctions, mass release of methane from the oceans, etc. as we see by the hockey stock. real-science.com cstpr.colorado.edu
