I'd rather lick a rabid wolverine's nut sack. :lol:

Then it's all back to man as the source of your mickey mouse molecule theory? Isn't one of almarmists biggest fears Pleistocene mega flora sourced CH4 trapped below the permafrost in the Arctic tundra taking global warming to the next level? Yes/no?

Klien should realise that any effort to curb production of C02 is futile.


It's way to late to stop it, we are heading down that path, so it's best now to get ready for adapting to changes coming in the next 200 years.

I'm not an alarmist. I'm a proponent of anthropogenic global warming. CO2 emissions have pushed up atmospheric CO2 levels resulting in more heat around the surface. It doesn't go much further than that for me. Predictions of a forcing to a complex ecosystem are difficult.

Soil is a living ecosystem inarguably waking up from a thousands of year nap in the northern hemisphere. The bacteria and mycologicals that fed the Late Pleistocene Mega flora and fauna are masters of creating gasses.

If change is truly going to bring higher temperatures to upper latitudes there is no doubt that those incredibly rich soils are going to create a massive boom in growth on the millions and millions of sq km of tundra and Arctic Ocean feeding massive plankton blooms as rain wash them to sea at an alarming rate.

NWT and Nunavut will have some amazing farmland on their hands if there is any truth to the modelled scenarios and palaeontological evidence.

You might find this interesting (if you haven't already seen it).

The question isn't the shift in plant life. The question is, if plant life is increasing, why is CO2 going up?

You're like the Keystone Kops of 'science', aren't you?

Just because your handlers tell you (on a faith basis) that CO2 is a 'greenhouse gas' and is magically identified as 'bad' does not make it fact.

As an aside, are you aware that life on Earth being carbon-based?

Lastly, how many years (notice I didn't indicate decades or centuries) have they been monitoring CO2 concentrations?..... Such a thin correlation to the millenia of natural cyclical swings and as we have seen, the models and predictions by the ecotards has consistently not supported their hysterical theories.... You might as well attach blame for global warming (sorry, climate change) to the Detroit Red Wings for making the playoffs a record number of consecutive years

PS - How did you enjoy the first ice free North back in 2013?



In geological time or ____?

Don't confuse him Petros.... He's having enough trouble answering for all the failed predictions... Adding in a temporal variable will only push him to deeper depression when the realization that anthro CO2 can't explain previous episodes of warming/cooling.
