Carbon dioxide emissions rise to 2.4 million pounds per second | |
JUST HERE User ID: 25610447  United States12/02/2012 05:20 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WASHINGTON The amount of heat-trapping pollution the world spewed rose again last year by 3 percent. So scientists say it's now unlikely that global warming can be limited to a couple of degrees, which is an international goal. The overwhelming majority of the increase was from China, the world's biggest carbon dioxide polluter. Of the planet's top 10 polluters, the United States and Germany were the only countries that reduced their carbon dioxide emissions. Last year, all the world's nations combined pumped nearly 38.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil, according to new international calculations on global emissions published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change. That's about a billion tons more than the previous year. [link to www.cbsnews.com]    |

Plants like food plants require sun, water and CO2 to grow, and the more CO2 the better they grow, conversely the less there is the poorer they grow There is 4 parts CO2 to ten thousand parts of atmosphere, so, if effect it's importance in heat retention is miniscule |

With grow zones already changing, and weather patterns changing from worldwide climate changes due to the carbon in the atmosphere it doesn't matter how much plant food there is if the seeds don't germinate or the plants bake to death in the fields. |

Why are the noninhabited planets also warming? C02 is a free form of currency created by the ptb to sell to fools convinced that the sky is falling, nothing more. |

Far more likely that water vapor made by man has more effect as water vapor is the greatest greenhouse gas, and co2 is essentially the least important both chemically and by proportion |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 25390958 United States12/02/2012 05:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That's true. The largest portion of it comes from the oceans. As they are (ever so slightly) heated up, they release much much more CO2. We are only responsible for a small fraction of CO2 emissions. Quoting: CyberCyrus WHEN THINGS WARM, PLANT GROWTH INCREASES AND LOCKS UP the increased CO2 INTO CARBOHYDRATES. this is a feedback system that lends itself to homeostasis, the only real variable is the fuking sun dumping more or less energy as it pulses over time, creating, incidentally periodic ice ages and interglacial periods at fairly regular intervals. Go ahead, and have a campfire, guilt free. everything you burn was once co2 and it eventually will be again |
