TheGreatAndPowerfulOzAny proof to that?
Insects Take A Bigger Bite Out Of Plants In A Higher Carbon Dioxide World -- ScienceDaily[^]
TheGreatAndPowerfulOzThat'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.

Which means evolution will occur until those plants with the proper genetic makeup will be the majority surviving. Talk about "little faith".

It's not faith. It's science and facts.

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.

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 ?

Quite often I do, but not because of an increase in CO2.

Thats the best you can do, a weak stab at a side story? What has this got to do with a climate scientist criticising NOAA for using bad data? Nothing of course. You merely display your desperation. (and then compound it by pretending that the contents of the emails are only comprehensible to 'climate scientists' :laugh: )
You asked me for one fact that was wrong in the article. I gave you one fact that was wrong in the article. What's your problem? And if you'd read the article, you'd see that he didn't criticize them for using "bad" data; merely for using "preliminary" data, which hadn't been completely verified. There's a difference, but you probably won't be able to see it. Since the data hasn't been verified yet, we don't know whether it's bad or good. Come back to the story when the data has been verified, and we know whether it's a load of BS, or yet more evidence of CAGW.

Well, they're clearly NOT comprehensible to tabloid journalists or climate-change deniers. Unless you're saying that the contents were deliberately misrepresented to back up your own point of view? :rolleyes:

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.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data. There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

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.
Mate - you're going to need a bigger wooden spoon to stir the pot up a little more. Don't you have something fresh to anti-conspire about?

You didnt provide a wrong fact. The emails clearly suggested data had been modified to fit the story. The Mil was 100% correct to state that. Yeah, 'Mikes Nature trick to hide the decline' was so self explanatory if you examine Manns chart you can see where he cut off the decline.

Nope, just the CAGW scam. :)

pollution is simply something - introduced by man - that damages an environment. if the environment depends on the absence of water to be useful (a desert), water could certainly be a pollutant.
