    the greatest producer of oxygen is the oceans. The microscopic plants on the surface. Since they produce oxygen, obviously absorb CO2. The oceans are more resilient than the alarmist believe

    Nor do I live any form of ostentatious life style. My big goal these days is to get a retirement boat built and do eco tours up on the inside passage. I got plenty of years left so I can have some fun with it as well. Can't wait to actually get started. Deal is our world is changing so fast, our oceans are in big trouble.

    Oh well
    I'll make use of it eventually
    but until then I'm just a glorified carpenter trying to get published again.

    Anyway so whats the deal, obviously Hoyt didn't comprehend the reason recent temp doesn't show up in the ice core data.

    ah how could I have missed it, another change of subject, on the ropes again eh.

    classic, no wonder you hold such outlandish ideas, your never going to learn anything if you just run from ever admitting when someones made a perfectly valid point.

    you could be Hitler himself and as long as you don't believe in climate change and believe in the same god Hoyt does he'd be on your team.

    No! I'm not even angry at Boston, just dismayed he refuses to see the light.

    There you go again. The thread is 6 years old. It's been abandoned and revived several times. The poll is Do you believe humans responsible for global warming OR that its natural causes (and thrown in with it Not believe in global warming at all)
    I have admitted that we are still warming after last ice age. I see no data to indicate an alarmist stance is warranted or appropriate. I think those who are alarmists are dangerous. More dangrous than catastrophic warming if it existed.

    Co2 levels are high. Nobody knows why. Lots CLAIM they know why and bombard you with their propaganda.

    The scenario that heightened CO2 will cause high temperatures from green house effect is unsubstantiated. Laboratory experiments aren't realistic because they don't include the earths biosphere. Perhaps more CO2 will stimulate more plant growth. Then we'll have an oxygen rich crisis where everything will want to spontaneously combust.

    I'm a wait let's see guy. I admonish others to do likewise

    Boston,
    If you don't already have a thread for your retirement boat, why not start one? I have an unusual concept that may not have been tried before, but isn't outlandish looking. In fact could be as classy has you'd like.
    And not cost a fortune and be green to boot.

    ok. We agree on something. I have long believed that increased CO2 levels were primarily from burning off large tracts of timber. Both intentional land clearing burning, and forest fires. Like the droughty summer we just had, forest fires everywhere in the west. Millions of acres up in smoke.

    the folks burning off the rain forrests in south america, you can't stop them. It's a shame it's happening, but they're poor farming folk trying to make a subsistance living. They aren't going stop trying to survive for benefit of somebody in the future.
