It's not geologic, at all (except for some layers of volcamic ash). It is atmospheric, as gas bubbles are constantly being trapped in the freezing ice.

That's funny. The "risks" are identical to what they were in 1475 right before Global Cooling hit mankind hard.
Julius Caesar to wage a campaign on Britain in 45AD thanks to Global Warming but things weren't so great when things cooled 400 years later not warming again until post Dark Ages.
How old Is the "record" Mary Flossmas?

You mean besides paying for a bunch of nothing?
CO2 isn't an air pollutant.
After spending the past 13 months focused on international and national climate negotiations, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna will turn her attention in 2017 to the more prosaic work of implementation – ensuring that what was agreed to at high-profile political summits is acted upon.
The pan-Canadian climate agreement signed earlier this month by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and 11 provincial and territorial premiers includes a plan for Ottawa to impose a carbon price on provinces that refuse to adopt their own by 2018.
Ms. McKenna and her cabinet colleagues will have to figure out how to handle Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall’s opposition to any carbon tax in his province, and determine whether Manitoba’s vague commitment to put a price on greenhouse gas emissions meets Ottawa’s minimum threshold. The environment and climate change minister is charged with passing legislation on a federal carbon-price backstop over the course of the next year.
But carbon pricing is only the most controversial part of Canada’s wide-ranging policy to meet greenhouse-gas-emission reductions pledged under the United Nations accord reached in December in Paris.
In total, the federal-provincial-territorial agreement promises action on 54 specific items that include carbon pricing as well as a slew of regulations, tougher standards and spending measures. The policies are meant to reduce emissions, prepare Canada to adapt to the impacts of climate change and help the growing clean-technology sector take advantage of the opportunities – both domestic and in export markets – that will arise from the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Brilliant misinterpretation of my post. Or are you simply ignorant of the fact that it is pretty much impossible for any industrial process to create CO2 without filling the air full of all sorts of other unwanted filth?
