#1 Affirmative action + collegiality = "scientists" with zero ability and zero intellectual integrity.

#4 The threat has been "mostly overlooked" by climate scientists

You mean the alarmists hadn't thought this stuff up yet?

#5 If there hasn't been a justification before to eliminate the oxygen sucking political ruling caste before, they give you one now. Do it for the children!

#8 We'e all fallen victim to the assertions and studies made by anonymous people. No one questions the sources or motives, we are all guilty of just nodding our heads and saying "that sounds right."

#9 Just cancel all the conferences. That'll prevent a lot of hot air getting into the atmosphere.

#11 I think they must have overlooked the fact that with that much CO2, the plants would be growing so fast, and putting out so much O2, there'd be no room left for people. Maybe Petrovskii can do that up for his next "study".

#13 We will run out of air if we don't cut air?

#14 Bullshit alert, we are NOT "Running out of air', trees make air (Oxygen) and we're not short of trees.

Oceans make air, we're short on oceans?

#15 Someone needs to inform the phytoplankton about this because they seem to be doing rather well: Plankton Are Multiplying Like Crazy Due to Warming

Interesting that they mention coccoliths which are known for their intricate shells make of calcium CARBONate. Along with Inspector Renault, I am shocked to learn that plants are thriving a in warm environment rich in CO2.

#16 Even if the 1 degree in a hundred years screws with the plankton I suspect planketon will start appearing farther from the tropics where the water is suddenly the right temperature and where the seeds couldn't find root before.

This guys a scaremongering idiot.

#17 Um... considering that 75% of the oxygen is produced by plankton in the oceans... and they thrive on CO2... I think the reasoning should be there will be more oxygen.

Can I just shoot this idiot now please?

#18 The releaseof this "report" at the same time as the hot air conference... Surely a mere coincidence. I mean they wouldnt be wanting media to report dire warnings (tm) to push their agenda? No - unimaginable! Only liars and cheats would do that....

#19 The Carboniferous Period had 32.5% O2 and 800 ppm of CO2. When lightning started fires they really burned.
