'Climate Consensus' Data Need a More Careful Look [CO2 levels are below the optimum levels]
Wall St. Journal ^ | August 13, 2012

Posted on 08/14/2012 8:06:07 PM PDT by grundle

It is increasingly clear that doubling CO2 is unlikely to increase global temperature more than about one degree Celsius, not the much larger values touted by the global warming establishment. In fact, CO2 levels are below the optimum levels for most plants, and there are persuasive arguments that the mild warming and increased agricultural yields from doubling CO2 will be an overall benefit for humanity. Let us debate and deal with serious, real problems facing our society, not elaborately orchestrated, phony ones, like the trumped-up need to drastically curtail CO2 emissions.

Data doesn’t matter to these thjeives- and that’s exactly what they are- just as the law means nothign to a real life theif, data means nothjign to ‘man-caused’ global warmign theives- these people ARE goign to fine us for being alive- period! End of story- and they WILL use the environment as their excuse and ‘reason’ for getting laws passed to fine/punish us for existing- These peopel aqren’t capable of making a living for themselves, so they are goign to go after your hard earned money any way they can, and since the environment is a sacred religious entity to them, they will it to justify punishing you and will accuse you of not caring for the earth should you fail to pay said fines-

[[In fact, CO2 levels are below the optimum levels for most plants, and there are persuasive arguments that the mild warming and increased agricultural yields from doubling CO2 will be an overall benefit for humanity.]]

And- this article was NOT researched for facts very well- the amount of CO2 i nthe atosphere does NOT raise temperatures- Tempuratuire rises occure first- then CO2 rises LATER- much later as warming temps increase ice melt which releases trapped C02- this is proven out by the same data showing very clear temp rises and then much later C02 rises and from ice core samples showing ht trapped C02 which shopws the exact same thing- another inconvenient truth for the ‘man-caused’ global warmign THIEVES which they simply ignore and which the media FAILS to report on

Not to mention that the curve can be spiked by other events, such as volcanoes. There are many other sources of CO2 that are part of the natural system, and can cause changes locally.

The system is ever-changing and non-repeating and very self-regulated. We are not given any special ‘deal’ on this planet. You either adapt or die. We ‘may’ be able to ‘modify’ weather, slightly, but we cannot control it, and the changes lead to unexpected results.

Here in the US, roads and parking lots make great heat sinks, and have caused ‘local’ temperatures to slightly rise. Actually, concrete relects light during the day, while asphalt absorbs more heat. So, there’s a plus and a minus. Large city buildings have altered local weather ever since they were built. But no one wants to ask for money to get rid of skyscrapers, roads, and parking lots.

We have no more ability to alter the planetary averages to our desire, than we do to move the stars to suit our view.

That’s why farmers add CO2 to their greenhouses - to increase yields.

Of course this simple fact seems to be lost on the greenie weenies.

“In fact, CO2 levels are below the optimum levels for most plants,”

The REAL agenda of the commie/greenies!
Destroy all life on earth because we are unworthy!
