@jochannan7379 I'm not the one to say "the science is settled". We haven't much needed to further investigate Newtonian Physics in over a century, that's settled
Climate IS NOT SETTLED. (note the If above) Climate simulations don't work, they can't predict 'The Little Ice Age' only half a millennia ago, nor even last century let alone the wild Younger Dryass swings just 14k Yrs ago, yesterday in geological time, climatology a derivative of geology.
Point: convince me it's settled and you've convinced me to stop paying for redundancy. Scientists might back away from that false claim, actually--"journalists" more than actual scientists.
No one seems confident that another glacial maximum is or isn't around the corner at any given CO2 level, models don't work yet and that's why we need the science but atmospheric CO2 would almost have to mitigate it to some significant degree, pun.
An absolute life necessity is labeled a pollutant? CO2 level is a existential problem but probably not on the high side at these NEAR all time lows. (studied this a fair amount the arguments from 'authorities', most of those reported at least, don't mesh with the actual science) The rate of change is concerning, not so much the magnitude. CO2 is an important component of climate but it's not THE driver Back that up relatively easily.
Panic won't help and pure economics have flipped the script--renewables are taking over as most cost effective option in a competitive market. Cars are going electric far faster naturally than government mandates require with or without subsidies.
Quite a coincidence that 280ppm is magically ideal for life and humanity, as tho Earth was made for us by a perfect god.
Reason to believe that 500ppm is better and safer. Not to suggest 1000 is OK but also not the arbitrary dangerously low 280ppm.
