BWAHAHAHA! So you think CO2 is a pollutant?

:laugh: wtf nonsense is this?
You are that unaware of the science? You know Co2 is plant food and makes plants drought resistant? Didnt you do biology at school? You know that warming below 2C will be beneficial? CO2 has a low effect on temperature, at the bottom of the IPCC range. You have heard of the IPCC I take it?

There's one for a start. The fact that the tabloid press didn't understand the content of the leaked emails doesn't mean they get to make up their own meaning. Now, feel free to point out which part of the article marks the end for "Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming". I assume that's what you're referring to, and not "Citizens Against Government Waste", or "Cultural Alliance of Greater Washington".

pollution is in the eye, nose, mouth, bloodstream of the beholder. whether or not C02 is a pollutant depends on the context. if you're a plant (are you a plant?) more C02 isn't necessarily bad - though only up to a certain point; too much CO2 harms plants. if you're a person, more CO2 can be fatal. the dosage makes the poison.

If it is plant food, then to plants no, it isnt. Obviously. And no, the currently anomaly is about 0.8 C, a long way from 2C still.

Well that's the problem. There are facts to discuss, but people treat the whole concept like religion, on both sides. Every time this shady crap comes up it calls the whole concept into question. On the other hand, supporters will believe literally anything without proper vetting. I could claim that jerking off caused climate change, with a pretty graph, and half the population would freak out about the masturbation issue, and the other half would exhaust themselves just to prove it false (well, not "just").

The ones who believe, don't need any explanation The ones who not believe, don't want any explanation The theory of evolution can not be proved true, so it has to be false. God's existance can not be proved false, so it must be true. I could continue... but I think I have proved your point :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

The level of CO2 in a meeting room can reach a couple of thousand ppm. Do you feel polluted in meetings? Thats the context. Its not toxic to man till much higher levels, at the levels we are looking at reaching it is not a pollutant at all. Surely you understand that 12/100 is very much higher than 400/1,000,000 ?

Depends. If you shit in my swimming pool, then you would be polluting it, and there would be a serious affect on your health.

Certainly, but not at the levels we're talking about (approximately 0.04%). The atmosphere contains only about 21% oxygen. The O2 percentage would have to decrease to about 6% (that is CO2 increasing to about 15%) in order for it to be fatal to humans. That's an increase of CO2 levels of about 37,500% which is next to impossible for human activity to do.

oh ye of little faith! but if simple respiratory toxicity was all there was to worry about with CO2, we could certainly get away with more of it.

But the whistleblower, Dr John Bates, a top NOAA scientist with an impeccable reputation, has shown The Mail on Sunday irrefutable evidence that the paper was based on misleading, ‘unverified’ data.[^] So now he can't be sacked by NOAA, because Trump put his own man in charge, he is now free to speak out about data corruption and scientific fraud. This is end for the CAGW bullshit thats mis-formed govt policy for decades and cost the taxpayer billions, because a lot of it has come from US scientists. Personally I think Trump shouldn't try to muzzle scientists, he should just put funding on the table for them to prove CO2 is safe. Nothing will undo CAGW quicker than a volte-face by its former adherents.
A different simpleton (or rather, group of them) said the same thing about acid rain. The formation of pristine clear lakes - totally lifeless - surrounded by dying forests was ignored. UNTIL . . . the acid rain began to erode the finish on their pickup - that's when they realized that they couldn't pretend it wasn't there any more. It wasn't there forests or their lakes - but when it was their damn paint; well, that was something different. So - you and your cult of deniers? You've been around before.

No, we have to stop wasting time and money pretending we are and do something about the impact of any warming if it is in any way negative. So, we build dams, flood protection, etc etc etc in those countries that might be affected. And this would cost a tiny fraction of the $60 billion already wasted on junk science like this garbage from NOAA. And the left overs we can spend on tackling REAL pollutants, like electronics recycling in China, Ship recycling in Bangladesh, and the millions of tonnes of plastics we are dumping into the ocean every day, that very soon is about to end up in OUR food chain.

And where did you get your figures? Have you any real idea what it would cost to build sea-walls along all of the US Coastline where it will be necessary? Your brilliant strategy is parallel (100%) to not fixing a leaky pipe - but just buying more and more bigger buckets to catch the drip.

it's probably not. Like formation of carbonic acid in the oceans (and maybe acid rain) might be something to worry about once levels get high enough (probably above 1% or more than 25 times more than there is now). But even that is highly unlikely to be detrimental since...

Over the past 250 years, ocean acidity has increased by 30 percent as oceans absorbed around 530 billion tons of carbon dioxide.
