The data doesn't exist so don't hold your breath, all I am saying is "it happened before so it can happen again" and the data on CO2 levels looks very familiar. I think we would be remiss to disregard the possibility just because the alarmists are crying that the sky is falling. Look as far as I am concerned there is no harm in trying to find better sources of energy, what I oppose is the big global government tax solutions they are trying to justify with scare tactics.
We seem to be in almost exact agreement, but I am not convinced that the increase in the CO2 levels can do what the warmers say it will do. My doubt is based primarily on the FACT that CO2 is not DOING what the warmers say it IS doing.
I'm not sure that the sudden rise of CO2 caused by the activities of Man will create a lasting condition on this planet. From what I've read in the links posted in this forum, the residency time of CO2 in the air seems to expire at about 100 years at the outside and must be constantly replaced or we turn into a snow ball.
The Egyptian saying that time laughs at man but the pyramids laugh at time seems appropriate here. In all areas, it seems, we give credit ourselves, the human race, with more power than nature has given us.
If we were to be robbed of our technology suddenly and had to live with only the tools available 2000 years ago, we'd be wiped out as a civilization almost immediately. There would be about 6.5 billion dead people rotting in the streets within a couple months. Our "footprint" would be fleeting and in a short time, gone.
Within 100 years, there will be a new energy source for humans to use and the use of Fossil fuels will define an "age" in our development, like Bronze and Iron.
The worry about atmospheric CO2 will be another of the curiosities that we carry forward with us. Another quaint superstition like Zeus, the Cyclops, dragons, vampires or the Kraken.
It will probably just be another Big Bad Wolf.
