Sorry I just wasn’t sure why you posted it. Are you assuming carbon dioxide levels haven’t risen? I’m trying to be a “good baysean”.

I think CO2 is up, but deforestation of continents is a bigger factor than industrial emissions.

Cumulative CO2 in the atmosphere is a tiny delta between two huge numbers that represent sources and sinks of CO2. Natura sources and sinks are vastly larger scale than anthropogenic sources and sinks.

Our damage of natural CO2 sinks (much of which predates the scientific method) is a far bigger contributor to cumulative CO2 than anthropogenic emissions.

Thats the first big misnomer in the climate debate, the other big misnomer is the scale of the consequences.

Why are people still exaggerating the consequences long after the argument is won? It’s makes no sense, all it does now is lower the credibility of the theory.
