Aside from the expected protests of Al Gore and Leonard Di Caprio, the public didn’t seem to raise its CO2 anguish much above the Russians-election frenzy the media already had going. Statistician Bjorn Lomborg has already pointed out that the Paris CO2 emissions cuts would make only a 0.05 degree C difference in earth’s 2100 AD temperature. And that’s in the unlikely event that all parties actually kept their pledges.
During the last Ice Age, however, too little CO2 in the air almost eradicated mankind. That’s when the much-colder water in the oceans sucked most of the CO2 from the air. There were only about 180 parts per million in the atmosphere, compared to today’s 400 ppm.
The Ice Age’s combined horrors—intense cold, permanent drought, and CO2 starvation—killed most of the plants on earth. Only a few trees survived, in the mildest climates.Much of the planet’s grass turned to tundra, which is much less nourishing to the herbivores we depended on for food and fur. Cambridge University’s recent studies say that, worldwide, only about 100,00 humans were left alive when the current Interglacial warming mercifully began.

AlGore looked like a brainwashed LUNATIC! I NEVER watch those shows, but I couldn’t look away. What a car wreck he is.
Shouldn’t say that ,they want to keep plants part in CO2 secret ,LOL they want to build machines to remove CO2 and all they need are plants
FR is the Mother of All Triggers to those clowns - the Unsafest of all Unsafe Spaces.
CO2 = Vegans Delight! Lots more vigorous yummy plants!
Excerpt from this article from Natural News: The Paris Climate Accord is GENOCIDE against plants, forests and all life on our planet
“....all plants depend on CO2 for their very survival. It’s the “oxygen” for plants, and right now trees, grasses and food crops are starving for CO2 because it sits at nearly the lowest level it has ever been in the history of the Earth (barely above 400 ppm now, when it used to be over 7,000 ppm in the past).
Humans attempting to eliminate CO2 from the atmosphere is equivalent to some evil, fictional “plant demon” attempting to eliminate oxygen from the atmosphere, causing the mass asphyxiation of the entire human race. Just as eliminating oxygen is genocide against humans, eliminating carbon dioxide is genocide against plants.”
CO2 is actually a poison too, but only in amounts around a few percent or more. This is what a lot of people think made the air unbreathable in the movie Avatar. We don’t exactly have to worry about that, though.
They have
And the result of their simplification and lies is MORE MONEY AND POWER.
CO2 is not “a poison”...or people would die whenever a fire extinguisher was discharged, or dry ice was present. It’s the issue of using up all the O2 in a sealed space that kills people.
Carbon monoxide, on the other hand, will definitely kill you.
Oxygen comes from one place and one place only in nature: It comes from CO2. The liberals want to take our oxygen away so we all die and all the animals die. They are trying to murder the planet. Without humans to create all that CO2, all the plants will die. Please create as much CO2 as possible so that we will all live, along with our precious pets and pretty flowers!!!!
"you can keep your doctor......."...President Obama on Thursday flatly denied that a $400 million pallet of cash delivered to the Iranian government in January, on the same day that four American citizens who had been detained by Iran were released, was a ransom payment....(Obama Calls Climate Change, Not Terrorism, Our Greatest Threat)..Those and a list of lies from this 'most transparent' ex-president....plus why would anyone believe a man who felt wearing an American Flag lapel pin or put his hand over his heart whenever the 'colors were passing' or our National Anthem was played (because it has become a substitute for "true patriotism" since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.),,,ya think it was because of the Islamic terrorist he was protecting?????
If heat alone, all by itself, was going to kill off the plant life of the earth and starve the animal life and humanity, the biggest rain forests would not be in the “warmest” climate belt on the earth - the tropics.
Additionally, while it is true that even if higher temperatures may cause more melting & evaporation of sea ice, it will likely also increase evaporation of ocean waters. But it is scientific calculation error to assume the increased ice melting and the increased evaporation & increased precipitation from it will result in a massive sea level rise everywhere. What is under calculated is how much additional precipitation will go into additional living green plants as well as into ground/underground water reserves, land-bound lakes & ponds, as well as human-created water reserves.
When one looks at the predictions of gloom and doom about higher temperatures, and then observes the abundant life of the rain forests (plenty of heat & moisture with a constant & high level of CO2 recycling), it is clear that the alarmist predictions are unfounded.
You will be getting your scarlet “D” in the mail soon. Wear it proudly. Welcome the Deniers Club International. LOL!
Let's bump up average global surface temps by 2o and try to get the CO2 to about 1500 ppm, so we can open up all that prime agricultural land in northern Canada and Eurasia, feed about 7 billion more people, and have valuable tropical beachfront property in Newfoundland and Labrador.
What say ye?
I want to know how much "ice melting" in Antarctica (where the average temperature is -58 degrees Fahrenheit) can be attributed to warmer air temperature.
There is also volcanic activity, both as visible eruptions, and hidden underneath the ice.
Of course talk of any of the volcanic activity is hidden by the AGW-freaks.
I worry about all those ecological tourists with all that gear and their ships pulling into pristine waters in the Antarctic not to mention the invasion of heretofore up close and in your face tourists viewing those (penguins) left undisturbed for thousands of years....(Galápagos Tourism Backfires) worrisome - the human foot print is deadly over time.
CO2 levels were 180ppm in the last Ice Age, are around 400ppm to day, and were 7000ppm in the Cambrian Period... and at every level, life on planet earth continued. Hell, the Libs would likely be overjoyed if the levels were the ruin of mankind, as long as the rest of Mother Gaia continued on (as she most certainly will, in any case).
I vote yea.
I am not justifying predictions of any degree of arctic or antarctic ice melting - not at all.
I am saying that what is predicted to happen due to any predicted ice melting is not likely to happen as predicted.
If the alarmist fears of ice melting were true, then when the during period that saw the Vikings settle in Greenland, huge amounts of coastal Europe would have been lost due to sea level rise. It didn’t happen.
As far as sea level rise itself, it has been occurring naturally since the end of the last ice age.
If my math is correct, the partial pressure of CO2 on Mars is more than 10 times greater than that of Earth.
