@AdamBladeTaylor Not really..
Our atmosphere has supported this kind of life for some millions of years. It was not drastically different during the Jurassic period, onward when dinosaurs flourished according to the rock records which show it was hot and humid but Oxygen and CO2 were comparable. There was a true greenhouse effect then. Ferns grew like trees do today actually greater with the slightly higher CO2., and accordingly this accelerated flora growth then reduced the levels of CO2 and stored it in hydrocarbons such as coal , oil, and gas, along with great energy from the sun locked up in those chemical bonds. Today whenever we break those bonds we do to release that energy for civilization.
There is a CO2 cycle where excess CO2 is absorbed by plant material. The place where most CO2 is absorbed is in locations called "sinks". They are huge algae colonies in our oceans that grow robustly when CO2 is plentiful. Although some believe trees are the great absorber of CO2; they are fine to have but they are not the prime absorber. It is the one celled algae in earths 2/3 Ocean coverage. This proliferation of agal sinks is a negative feedback system that responds to excess CO2, and strives to come back to balance ...such as when you eat excess sugar , your pancreas eventually releases insulin to remove that sugar to the acceptable level.
So we haven't destroyed the environment in 100 years and changed current climate. Thats just not true. Mankind has built roads and developed cities where there were once woods , I have to agree. What would you have done here. It sounds like go backward. How would you do this? Move all populations to the equator so they can live in a tropical climate with less clothes , housing , needs and de- inhabit cold areas like Europe and N America where keeping warm is a necessity. No I think man is a part of this biosphere as any other animal and has a right to live here and be kind to the place in which we live but to live.
Did you know there are 45 volcanos around earth that right now are venting particulates and noxious gases into the atmosphere having a great effect on the equilibrium. There is a cycle of sunspot activity that sheds more and the less heat on earth.These matter. There are too many factors to just look out the window on a given day in a millisecond of time(200 years) and say.."Hey ... things are changing .. It must be us" . Thats what some did. Often cited are so many thousands of scientists who agree AND of course there are as many thousand scientists who dont. The factor that sways a leaning here is that Universities with research facilities doing this work are funded by government. Government must be valid and relevant. Its very important to lean toward the answer these governments are pleased with. These funded studies are not independent.
As I said .. I am all for doing things with the least damage to the places we live and America has improved its air and water quality immensely .. the past four years America has reduced its CO2 emissions down by nearly 12 %. . Thats good. China builds a Coal powered elect plant at the rate of 1 per month. India too and Russia , N korea and many more.
I am not being condescending in saying to you to pick up a college text on Historical Geology.... IT will have little to do with the political point of climate change BUT you will see what has unfolded over the 4.5 billion years earth has existed.
Thank you , if you read this rather long reply, and thank you for your reply.
