Kant, people spend a lot of money on anthropogenic heat for their houses. They do that because it is highly beneficial. They also buy anthropogenic heat to make glass houses warmer. That is highly profitable. <Now the "expert" weighs in tha AGW is "beneficial". What rot. You don't have a clue, bub. > CO2 in the air is a good thing. Contrary to the EPA ideas, CO2 is not a pollutant. Before the ecosphere stripped the CO2 from the atmosphere and buried it permanently in limestone and other carbon graveyards, there was 2000 parts per million. In the great tragedy of the commons in which plants fought each other for the last vestiges of carbon, they got right down to 280 parts per million. Luckily for them, and us, people learned how to recover coal and hydrocarbons and burn them to release the carbon back into the ecosphere. Now Gaia has more CO2 and reglaciation might [if the Global Warming Alarmists are right] be kept at bay. Gaia acts to preserve herself. She has produced humans who do that by recycling in a sustainable way the carbon which had been buried. This is a difficult concept to grasp, so you will have to read it several times and cogitate.
