I like it fine...until I have to mow the yard in 90% humidity and 95 degrees. LOL

Historical data shows human civilization flourished during periods of relative warmth.
So regardless of the link with CO2 we need not be afraid of warming.

CO2 is plant food.
Without it we all die.

If everyone who believes CO2 is a dangerous pollutant stops emitting it personally we could solve this problem overnight.

CO2 and warming are bad because they helps plants to grow, which in turn helps to feed people, but the Evnviro-weenies and the elites want to kill off a large part of mankind.

Can’t have people thriving.

Think I'll go out to the garage and start up my '58 Impala with a big block V8, and let it idle for an hour. Later, I'll take it for a ride and open it up on a nearby rural road. The exhaust Co2 will be good for life on planet Earth. Plus, I'll blow out the carbon build up on the pistons from idling so long. It will cost me some gas, but it's the least I can do to pay back the rock that supports me.

For you millenials who don't know a piston from a steering wheel, ask your fathers. Oh wait, many of you don't have fathers or too metro to understand an internal combustion motor. Either way, your welcome for me adding to your food supply.

That’s what goats and sheep are for.

Or walkways and topiary.

Or concrete and gravel.

Mowing is a lifestyle choice.

A good way to do your part to reduce carbon dioxide is to stop breathing.

Atmospheric CO2 concentration is a LAGGING INDICATOR of climactic temperature.

LOL! Yeah, I know. But my neighborhood association would go “commie” if I brought in a herd to do that.

When I was a kid, I read an illustrated version of Jules Verne’s novella “Dr. Ox’s Experiment”, which I found to be very entertaining, even if, as I knew then, technically inaccurate.

People lived in a windless valley, that had over time built up an overabundance of CO2, leading it to become a very relaxed, peaceful place. A Dr. Ox and his assistant arrive with the promise of free gas lighting via hydrogen produced through electrolysis, with the extra oxygen just released into the air. He has ulterior motives, but the end result is some light comedy.

The only error was that Verne assumed that more oxygen would make plants grow better.

Based on research by Svensmark and Calder, CO2 has nothing to do with climate. Read “The Chilling Stars” to get the real story. We’re going into a period of global cooling thanks to our very quiet star.

:: CO2 has nothing to do with climate ::

Only that it an ^indicator^, as I said. CO2 has no active part, it reflects climate activity like a mirror.

My tagline (in case you missed it).

If we have moved into an area along the galactic rim of higher particle flux density then add in the weakening of the earth’s magnetic field. We could be really be screwed!

I wonder what the magnetic fields of Jupiter & Saturn are doing?

The liberals will next ban oxygen as it is a far more potent greenhouse gas then carbon dioxide....

Atmospheric CO2 concentration is a LAGGING INDICATOR of climactic temperature.

That's true, but doesn't change the fact that the current rise in CO2 is mostly manmade. The oceans did warm naturally maybe a degree or two over the last few centuries or so. That's enough to create a rise of 5-10 ppm in atmospheric CO2. The rest of the rise, including annual rises of 2-3 ppm are due to manmade CO2. Whether that manmade CO2 creates more warming is not reqlly in doubt, but the amount is probably small. The doomsters have to fudge the models with extra water vapor and weather pattern changes to get a lot of future warming.

Oxygen (O2) is not a greenhouse gas. The main reason is that vibration modes are very small compared to molecules like CO2 and H2O.
