>> None of those things are in dispute by rational people.
Your idea of rational and mine are different things. We know that.
>> CO2 concentrations have gone from about 280ppm to about 400ppm.
Well, you really can't make such a statement without referencing a period of time. 400ppm is, historically, pretty close to a record low. Of course, you're talking about between now and the pre-industrial time frame, but you can't even pin THAT on our CO2 output without a lot of very wild-assed-guesses and squeezing figures.
Our plant life has, over millions of years, managed to suck huge amounts of CO2 out of our atmosphere. 400 million years ago CO2 levels were 10x what they are now, yet, somehow, plant life managed to draw it down. As Robert Carter has stated, you could take 4x the preindustrial levels of CO2 and the planet would still be Oxygen starved. More CO2, in these ranges, just results in a greener planet.
It is funny that you guys have politically determined to worry about the resilience of a planet that has outlived a lot of stuff.
>> There is no debate or dispute.
Right. Because like all religion, there is no debate. |
