Because trees are carbon neutral? They suck up carbon dioxide to make sugars, and then respire carbon dioxide when they consume oxygen during darkness. It only becomes a source of carbon dioxide when you stress the physiology of the trees.
Right, but I thought that'd be too obvious to mention.

Funny but we're still here. :lol::lol::lol: I think you obviously under rate Mother Nature. She'll destroy us (if we don't smarten up ) before very much happens to the planet.
Nature won't have to. We can decimate ourselves.

CO2 causes testicular cancer

CO2 causes homosexuality

C02 causes magic fairies to appear and dance around creating climate change hoaxes to sell documentaries to the naive and silly.




You carbon monsters killed this bird



it is covered with carbon and died from CO2 poisoning
How very grown up of you two. Your sandbox is beckoning for you.

Based on this brief literature survey, we may conclude that volcanic CO2 emissions are much higher than previously estimated, and as volcanic CO2 is isotopically identical to industrially emitted CO2, we cannot glibly assume that the increase of atmospheric CO2 is exclusively anthropogenic.
No-one is claiming that all the CO² emissions are anthropogenic.

Not enough evidence of what? Volcanic eruptions causing CO² emissions?

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


better think a little harder about it Anna... The oil of today were organic materials millions of years ago that were inventoried out of the supply for that time. Leaving that "carbon" where it was would represent a carbon deficiency.I told you that this would be splitting hairs, however, people seem to have an ideal version of what they want the Earth to be without regard for reality.

Only if the acidification rates are higher next to active volcanoes. Nobody has found evidence of that. And we know the increasing atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide should be driving down the pH of the ocean.

It's pretty basic science. The partial pressure of the gas in the atmosphere above the water grows. More gas dissolves into the liquid. All the more telling, considering that the oceans are warming, which means the solubility of the gas is reduced, gas should be escaping back to the atmosphere, however. The magnitude of the change in partial pressure is greater than the magnitude in change of solubility, so the water absorbs more gas.

So we have this, carbon dioxide plus water gives you carbonic acid:
CO2 + H2O ⇌ H2CO3

The carbonic acid also exists in a equilibrium, with the protons freely dissociating from the carbonic acid molecule to yield a proton and a molecule of bicarbonate:
H2CO3 ⇌ HCO3− + H+

That H+ means the pH goes down.

According to Batiza (1982), Pacific mid-plate seamounts number between 22,000 and 55,000, of which 2,000 are active volcanoes. However, none of the more than 2,000 active submarine volcanoes have been discussed in Kerrick (2001). Furthermore, Kerrick (2001) justifies the omission of mid oceanic ridge emissions by claiming that mid oceanic ridges discharge less CO2 than is consumed by mid oceanic ridge hydrothermal carbonate systems. In point of fact, CO2 escapes carbonate formation in these hydrothermal vent systems in such quantities that, under special conditions, it accumulates in submarine lakes of liquid CO2 (Sakai, 1990; Lupton et al., 2006; Inagaki et al., 2006). Although these lakes are prevented from escaping directly to the surface or into solution in the ocean, there is nothing to prevent superheated CO2 that fails to condense from dissolving into the seawater or otherwise making its way to the surface. It is a fact that a significant amount of mid oceanic ridge emissions are not sequestered by hydrothermal processes; a fact which is neglected by Kerrick (2001), who contends that mid oceanic ridges may be a net sink for CO2. This may well sound reasonable except for the rather small detail that seawater in the vicinity of hydrothermal vent systems is saturated with CO22, it stands to reason that this saturation is sourced to the hydrothermal vent system. (Sakai, 1990) and as seawater elsewhere is not saturated with CO If the vent system consumed more CO2 than it emitted, the seawater in the vicinity of hydrothermal vent systems would be CO2 depleted.Volcanic Carbon Dioxide

It has no organic signature. It is preposterous to believe that oil is crushed forests complete with millions of tyranosauros rexi.

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.

Oil spews out of the ground all over the planet naturally, it even spews into the sea all by itsownself. The place where I live was on fire when the white horde came ashore.
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.

Shale oil was processed in Nova Scotia at least as early as the mid eighteen hundreds. All over the world hydro carbon products such as pitch and lamp oil have long histories. How about tar pits.

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.
