Climate change will knock one-third off world economy, study shows

Umm chuck, hate to be a science denier and all that, but if emissions are caused by burning oil and oil is derived from decayed plant matter from millions of years ago and plants absorb CO2 through their leaves and branches, wasnt all that CO2 already in the atmosphere back then.

And wasn't there an explosion of life to take advantage of the beneficial levels of co2? Everything grew bigger and better and with more variety, and inhabited more of the Earth.

So Crop, you have heard of the natural causes of climate change?

Just give cc. time to think about what he would tax us on to handle natural causes of climate change.

Huh?

Slow natural climate change is not a risk compared to relatively rapid and unprecedented human caused climate change that could send us into uncontrollable irreversible climate change.

And there is no evidence of a return to the glaciers anytime in the next several thousands of years unless an asteroid or super volcano erupts.

And if that happens you will have bigger things to worry about!

You and I will be long dead.

Chuck, you really should study some climate history before making a fool of yourself in public. The pace of natural climate change throughout geological history has been breathtaking at times. Our current climate is so stable and benign compared to much of History that our ancestors wouldn't recognize how good we have it.
Check out the book by Michael Fagan about the little ice age. He is a hardcore climate change supporter just like you, so you won't be offended when you read it.

More human caused climate change denial?

More CO2 will be good for us?

Have you considered responding to my actual post?

And then the rains return in the natural 20 year cycle across the prairies , from drought to rains as the natural changes occur in the La Niña to El Niño…

Subsoil moisture levels being replenished in all areas in western Canada , except far NW Alberta and NE BC for now
although some areas very wet now , most areas the crop is in or will get in the next two weeks as a drier pattern will set up now after the full moon .
will be a struggle for some areas for sure as they are very wet now .
Drought crop insurance payments won’t be even mentioned by fall and the high crop insurance payments will be added to provincial general coffers with not a word .
life will carry on

Weather is still going to vary from year to year. And its great there is more moisture this year.

But climate is measured over 30 year periods. And we have an ongoing decline in precipitation in many areas for several years along with often higher temperatures and more drying.

A few weeks won't change or make up for the past moisture deficit.
