A little more info: the average gas-powered vehicle emits about 640 g of carbon per liter of gas and diesel about 734 g/l. If the crude had been left as it was, that carbon would not have been released into the atmosphere and we wouldn't have disasters like Exxon Valdez and BP/GoM. There are...

Geological records. ocean studies, etc. It all points to the fact that before gumans came along the planet was chugging along quite well. We showed up and after a while we loaded up the atmosphere with crap that never occurred naturally, loaded up the oceans with similar crap, and spread a lot...

Like I said, there were places that oil (and its relatives) existed around, but not to the extent it is now and that is simply because we transport it to places it never existed before. You're being intentionally obtuse; knock it off and quit being such a troll, rodent.

You are deliberately being misleading. Oil was not all over North America to begin with, it was in a few places; mostly the plains and around the Gulf of Mexico.

Baloney. The Earth got along quite well for millions of years with the oil being where it was to begin with. Since humans piped it out and spread it around, not so good.

Well, your thought is wrong then.

No-one is claiming that all the CO² emissions are anthropogenic. Not enough evidence of what? Volcanic eruptions causing CO² emissions?

How very grown up of you two. Your sandbox is beckoning for you.

So does living.

Nature won't have to. We can decimate ourselves.

If it was left where it should be, I agree.

Right, but I thought that'd be too obvious to mention.

Yup.

You sure can be obtuse sometimes. You see no difference between a tree's natural life processes and a human's driving down to the corner store for a pack of smokes? Yup, because it is irrelevant. In your POV, perhaps. But it's irrelevant to the topic so I cannot see why you want to keep harping...

So far, trees are of a lot more benefit to the planet than humans are so that would be perfectly typical for a human to do. I pointed out that your question is not very relative to the comment I made. I guess you missed the concept again. Yeah, giving and offering are pretty closely related.

Yeah, there is a direct link between CO² and ocean acidification. What is ocean acidification? Global Scientists Draw Attention To Threat Of Ocean Acidification Ocean acidification intensifying, says committee | TG Daily PMEL Ocean Acidification Home Page

It'd be enough to notice the changes in your physiology. If you could drink a bbl, I'd give you that much if you like. Nope. I am not claiming anything about oxygen. You seem to be claiming that carbon dioxide is ok in any amount in the atmosphere. Big difference. You, as a guest, would be...

And on the other hand, as you say, a lot of stuff on the planet contains carbon, so therefore it can't be a pollutant. Can I buy you a pint or a sandwich? of crude Would you like it if I filled your computer room with carbon dioxide? How about give you a swim in the pool of toluene?

Dead wrong. It is a class II toxin. look it up.
