Climate Science

Climate is always changing and there is currently no "global" (the earth is flat) warming, it is actually cooling by a few degrees, in the cycle of 30 years, that is then followed by the warming 30 years cycle, as the temperature records indicate, from 1910 to 1940 warming, 1940 to 1970 cooling, 1970 to 2000 warming, 2000 to 2030 cooling, and again warming from 2030 to 2060, etc.

The Carbon dioxide gas is only 0.02% trace element of total air mass and as such does not and cannot effect the earth's temperatures, the water vapor does, it is called clouds and precipitation off the ocean surface, which is most of the world.

Carbon dioxide CO2 is the building block of life on earth and is required for the healthy plant and animal life, human including. The poisonous to hemoglobic human and animal life Carbon monoxide CO version, car exhaust for example, is the unstable molecule with the short lifespan, which rapidly gets oxidized in the air to become either stable dioxide used by the plants in photosynthesis, or breaks down in the environment into the constituents Carbon and Oxygen.

While maintaining the clean environment is necessary for the healthy biosphere and ecosystem, crucial for the human wellbeing and prosperity, the Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are only indicative of the Carbon-based lifeforms, for whom it is the source of energy and also serves as the molecular framework for complex molecules, such as the DNA and RNA, and not indicative in any meaningful sense of the overall earth's temperature fluctuations.

One volcano eruption can spew out more Carbon gas than all of human history, never mind the fact that the current levels of Carbon gas in the atmosphere are the lowest it is been in 600 million years, according to some estimates. The ratio of Carbon gas in the air is directly proportional to the magnitude and verity of life on earth.
