#1 At some point CO2 blocks all the wavelengths it's going to block, and more CO2 does nothing - except make plants grow better.

#2 Memo to scientifically ignorant media, HUMANS exhale CO2, as does every living mammal, reptile and amphibian. PLANTS like CO2 and convert it to oxygen and nutrients for you vegans to eat.

Just goes to show you what being stoned all the way through high school and college does for our journalist/door stop/rock.

#3 danggit, that's the third time this morning I've bonked my head.

Wait a second....I'm supposed to sell the farm and family because of the read-out of a station located on a volcano? Which way is the wind blowing today?

#4 ...because of the read-out of a station located on a volcano?

Wonder what the sulfur emissions were that day...

#5 Speaking of sulfur dioxide emissions...Mt. Agustine, a relatively small volcano in Cook Inlet in Alaska emits SO2. When it is steaming, it emits 500 tons a day. When it is erupting, it emitted 6500 tons a day. Where was the EPA then?

#6 Not to mention that during the Jurassic CO2 was 20% higher than now. All life sure didn't die out, that's for sure!

#7 20% higher is nothing.... it's run much higher than that - but that doesn't count since it was during an ice age.

#8 Was a news report that the Vog (volcanic fog) was acting up again on the Big Island... wonder if their equipment is picking up on that.

#10 We're all doomed, says experts.

#11 Our neighbor runs his greenhouse at ~1,000 PPM CO2. Has a nifty little generator and everything. On the weekends, he and his wife will work in there all day with seemingly no issues.

He has nice looking flowers and a great crop of vegetables in there, too.

#12 PLEASE somebody change CO@ to CO2 in the headline!

I gotta remember to look at the headline, too, in "Preview"!

#13 OK Mr Climate Expert Guy I have one question, Exactly what temperature should it be?

Posted by BrerRabbit 2013-05-11 16:13|| 2013-05-11 16:13|| Front Page Top

#14 Richard, I don't think the scientists are saying that the CO2 is toxic - it would have to be 20-30 times to even make people feel drowsy. Their claim is that this will immediately cause the temperature to skyrocket, all the ice to melt, the seas to inundate Denver, etc. etc. etc. So we should all give them more money to do studies. And completely eviscerating the economy to prevent this.

What they can't seem to explain is why global temperatures haven't actually risen in the last 10 years.

#15 All you Bastard chilrun of Gaia are guilty of breathing, the original sin and copulating like there's ain't no tomorrow, which leads to more breathing and consuming and dancin and finger-snapping, driving SUV and eating too damn much for your own good, not to mention buying guns, killin Bambi and going on VACATION and more breathing.

Bottom line, if most of you fuckers would just kill yourself I'd have more shit and wymens.

Preview is, indeed, good. Fixed, Bobby dear.
