Hi Lindy. Normally, disrupting natural systems is a bad thing. But the CO2 doomsters assume that ALL disruptions are a bad thing. They probably don't even run away from a pack of wolves or gang of lions since.

Yes, pouring lead and mercury into cities, food and water is a very bad thing, even if it does kill bacteria. I prefer my water natural. It's nice to have clean air to breathe.

But there is no reason to think Gaia knows what it's doing and is doing it for our benefit. There is a LOT of evidence that Earth is on a one way trip to a crystallized snowball. Consider Earth at 10 million year intervals from 5 billion years ago until now.

Make a time-lapse micro movie with snapshots. The 500 images would show a hot ball turning into an ice-age wet planet with ice becoming normal.

CO2 doomsters like to look back just 1000 years and think they are really going back in time when they go back 600,000 years.

PS: I was rooting for you. I hope you are recovering nicely.
