Default Re: Is CO2 Really Good for US?

There is no doubt the the planet is a bit warmer, and polar ice is melting.
So What!? BFD! The planet goes through these NATURAL cycles WITHOUT human input. In the days of the Dinosaurs, the earth was 2.5 degrees warmer, and there were no humans burning fossil fuels. Anyone ever hear of ICE AGES? Does anyone think we'd be better off with glaciers down to Texas? Where are we going to grow food then?

I say, warmer, the better. Wyoming and South Dakota used to be tropical paradises, long before humans took over the earth. Anyone see Wyoming lately?

Pollution = bad.
Global warming = not bad.

Carbon Dioxide is 0.04% of the atmosphere. Go ahead.... double that amount ( jeepers creepers! ) which is actually impossible, and we'll all end up living with 0.08% carbon dioxide. Wow. Not very impressive.

And one very real possibility is, more CO2 = more clouds = cooler temperatures at the surface of the Earth. The earth is a living thing. It's very good at compensating, and self-regulating. I used to be worried. Then I studied up on the subject. No longer worried.
