Creationists vs. the Global Warming crowd - arguing science!

This should be even more interesting & educational than midget mud wrestling!

A few days ago the guys over at Powerline alerted readers to the new website “Minnesotans for Global Warming”. It’s worth looking at if only for their theme song! It’s a hoot!

Why are you publishing pro-global warming articles?

“The greenhouse effect of the very much higher carbon dioxide levels (15 times current) probably contributed to a warm, relatively uniform climate over the whole earth, just as the fossils show.”

Your pro-global warming article ignores continental drift!

This lasted 1,656 years,

Wasn't it 1,857 years?

“Some secular geoscientists are aware of the higher CO2 levels in the past, but they are not generally speaking out against the prevailing “politically correct” policies, which are trying to limit carbon dioxide emissions to prevent global warming. Part of their silence may be due to fear of the science establishment, but it may also stem from lack of understanding of why the world of the fossils had so much more carbon dioxide than today’s world. To the secular scientist, it is a mystery.”

—What in incredibly bizarre paragraph, and a poor attempt at mind reading. The danger (according to those that believe it’s a danger) of the increasing levels of CO2 is not that CO2 levels are reaching some dangerous level per se - it’s that the change is occurring so fast. If the change were occurring much more slowly, it probably wouldn’t be seen as a danger at all. After all, at times in the past with 10x the CO2 levels life did just fine. However, they had a biosphere that was adapted for such an environment. If we had a biosphere adapted for CO2 levels 10x what they are now, it would be viewed as just as dangerous to have the CO2 levels suddenly drop to current levels. Thus it’s the *rapid change* that’s viewed as the danger.

Also, it is known why CO2 levels were higher at various times in the past. At times it was due to volcanic eruptions, at other times due to changes in the biosphere. When CO2 levels were at their highest point in the past 60 million years, it was due to India crashing into Asia which crushed large amounts of limestone into marble which releases CO2 (estimated at several hundred million tons of CO2 a year – a small fraction of what humans are releasing each year).
