If you run a laboratory experiment for 800,000 years, and keep getting the same data - - that CO2 at 180 ppm leads to glaciation and low ocean levels… and 280 ppm leads to de-glaciation and high ocean levels… 8 different times…
… and if current CO2 levels are now at 400 ppm, which the Earth hasn’t seen for 3 million years… I think that pretty much tells the whole story.
Whatever you think is a steaming pile of nonsense must not be too important… because it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with history or reality.
CO2 levels don’t have to go up a single additional point for the following to continue to happen:
- heat infiltration into the coldest regions of the oceans will cause ocean levels to continue to rise;
- glaciers will continue to melt until only the regionally exceptional climates allow any to remain;
- food production will be affected because regions with good soil will become too hot, and colder regions that will become warm enough for good farming are characterized by poor soils;
- and the need to invest in technology for improved sequestration of carbon will become increasingly crucial.
We all need to hope and pray that the oceans don’t become so warm that the myriad tons of frozen methane off the continental shelves around the Earth do not become destabilized by an ocean that has become too warm - - releasing unprecedented levels of carbon into the environment … creating further climate shifts that lead to massive species kills not seen since the asteroid hit 65 million years ago…
Nick, your credibility has taken a huge hit in my eyes.
