My geophysics ecosphere model predicts that nothing much at all would happen up to 500 ppm other than plants feasting and growing like crazy, requiring less water to do so. My model is spot on for that [because that was easy to predict - it's well known how much plants like CO2 and what they do when they get more of it. I used to sell fuels to glass houses to burn to warm and enrich with CO2 the atmosphere the plants used]. My model hasn't been peer reviewed. It predicts Peak People and Peak CO2 output in 2037. With China building coal fired power stations like crazy, we have certainly not reached Peak CO2 output let alone content and won't do so for a few decades yet. New Zealand is fiddling around with some cap and trade nonsense. If NZ stopped all CO2 now it wouldn't make a measurable difference. Maybe you have some good links to some persuasive information about Hansen's theory [aka model]. A model is a theory. It would be interesting to see how well his unchanged theory has fitted actual data over the last couple of decades. I suspect that his theory is actually being updated on a regular basis so no predictions can be inspected for how well it has done. Mqurice
