You think.

You do not know, that is the difference


except I do know,

the geologic records across the planet proves the last time the earth was at 400 ppm where we are currently...and rising mind you, I thinks its around 405 now...the oceans of the planet were 5 mtrs to 40 mtrs higher.

that rise in sea level is going to happen. Its only a matter of time now. there is no stopping it.

now you people bitch and moan about carbon credits and redistribution of wealth....

the resulting displacement and loss of economies (ie New York, New Orleans, most of the Carribean, most of SE Asia...all gone) is something you should be concerned about.

Making specious correlations is not very scientific. Was there anything else going on during that time period?

I have a question for you. Could you show the research that breaks out the Earth's temperature rise associated with CO2 versus other greenhouse gases, urban heating effects, and solar activity? I believe all are factors, no?

There was never any chance man could stop it, or make it happen either. At some point it will happen, and no one knows if this another warming spike like the Minoan warming or not.

I'm guessing you stopped before you got to the Ordovician/Silurian periods where co2 levels were 4000ppm, not 400. One of the most severe glacial cooling/warming periods in history. 4000ppm very cold kills your theory. Lest you think it was just once, look at the Jurassic cooling period also.

It will take thousands of years in a worst case scenario for your dire prediction to happen. Thousands of years to adjust, by which time with any luck man is off this rock.

Fools like you are so afraid of things you can't control and shouldn't try to. Man is a very recent development on this planet, she'll manage just fine in spite of us.
