The real threat is dangerously low levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The Earth has been in a glacial period for the last 3 million years, including some sixty separate glacial advances and retreats. The current Holocene interglacial period might last up to another 3,000 years before the Earth plunges into another glaciation. Carbon dioxide is a gas highly soluble in water, and its solubility is highly temperature dependent. The colder the planet is, the more carbon dioxide the oceans absorb. During glaciations the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere has fallen to as low at 180 parts per million. It needs to be stressed that plant life shuts down at 150 parts per million, as plants are unable to operate with the partial pressure differential of carbon dioxide between their cells and the atmosphere. Several times during the last 3 million years, life above sea level was within 30 parts per million of being extinguished by a lack of carbon dioxide. The flowering plants we rely upon in our diet evolved 100 million years ago when the carbon dioxide level was four times the current concentration. For plant life, the current amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is near starvation levels
Yeah I would love to see the tree production and natural forest growths that equal our economic advancements and bring that to balance, carbon is one , pollution is another story,
Thanks for that!
Your welcome.
Man made global warming / climate change has been thoroughly proven false. We need more carbon dioxide. It is not a pollutant but essential to life. The Jurassic period had 5 times more CO2 than today and life flourished.
1000 scientists say man made global warming / climate change is a fraud.

Yes I agree, some of the arguments are compelling and indeed the whole thing sounds like a fraud.
clobal warming caused by mankind is a scam to get power over the people ;-)
