Higher temperatures cause an increase in CO2.

Warmer air can hold both more CO2 and water vapor. Now, there is something to the arguments regarding CO2 forcing, feedback loop, etc., but it has largely been exaggerated for fear porn/control reasons. Human activity is a factor in warming, but a rather lowly one, perhaps adding a few tenths of a degree centigrade over the Industrial Revolution. The climate, particularly the mean surface temperature, is largely cyclical and due to many, many factors outside human control.

The laser-like focus on CO2 has always been because it is a proxy for energy production/consumption.

Much like COVID, this has always, ever and only been about control.

Natural CO2 Emissions are About 20 Times Human Emissions, but nature is believed to absorb CO2 at about the same rate it is produced. You can think of the reservoir of atmospheric CO2 as being like a giant container of water, with nature pumping in a steady stream into the bottom of the container (atmosphere) in some places, sucking out about the same amount in other places, and then humans causing a steady drip-drip-drip into the container. Significantly, about 50% of what we produce is sucked out of the atmosphere by nature, mostly through photosynthesis. Nature loves the stuff. CO2 is the elixir of life on Earth. Imagine the howls of protest there would be if we were destroying atmospheric CO2, rather than creating more of it.

Since you seem to already know, give me one study. Just one.

Like this one?

quote:

---

There are 94 million cows in the US, which equates to around one cow for every three people. This is approximately the same as it was ten years ago, but considerably fewer than the 104 million cows in the country in 1996.

Here's another snippet you may find interesting.

quote:

---

it may not be that surprising to learn that of the billion cows in the world, 94 million cattle reside in the US. What’s more surprising is that this means the US only ranks fourth in the list of countries with the most cattle population. More than half of the world’s cattle population lives in India and Brazil.

) Nothing factual about the statement that CO2 remains constant and does not increase or decrease.

Blame apple for the contraction

However, I blame you for your ignorant misstatements

I never said what is written above. What I said is that there is an exact finite amount of CO2 on earth. The amount has not increased or decreased since before humans

That cannot be disputed

Whether it is above the ground or below the ground changes over time but the total amount can never change

You know it's not that cows fart that's the problem, right?

It's that there are way, way, way too many of them.

---

So by saying this, i'm assuming you can tell me how many cows there are on the planet, and how many there are supposed to be, right?
