The world as we know it will be destroyed! ! ! ! !
Well, that's what a lot of people are saying. If that's true, why are efforts to create global anti-climate change agreements so unserious? Plus, why are some so quick to dismiss sensible arguments that undermine the Earth-is-about-to-be-destroyed warning?
This article, which points to the lack of serious intent regarding climate change agreement talks, is followed by some interesting reader comments. Such as . . .
Atmospheric CO2 is the basic building block of plant life, from which plants extract the carbon they need to grow. But at just 0.04% of the atmosphere, CO2 is in chronically short supply in the atmosphere. That's why commercial greenhouse operators customarily boost CO2 levels to about three times that level, because it dramatically improves plant growth. Scientific American called anthropogenic CO2 the "precious air fertilizer."
============================================================================================
The scientific evidence for climate alarmism is so weak that even the Obama Administration has trouble finding reliable climate alarmists to promote The Cause. That should tell you something. Dr. Steven Koonin was President Obama's Undersecretary for Science in the Energy Department during Obama's first term. He's a liberal, through-and-through, of course. But after he left that position, he finally felt at liberty to tell the inconvenient truth. He said, “Even though the human influence on climate was much smaller in the past, the models do not account for the fact that the rate of global sea-level rise 70 years ago was as large as what we observe today.”
