Photosynthesis limits free carbon dioxide two 2ppm, the O levels rise in a natural ice age! This system is dynamic and reverts the fossil fuels to the active biology they were in the to the dinosaurs. Global warming and climate change are fiction by nuclear power and the terminally stupid. What are you?

@RedXlV June 30, 2012 at 3:55 am

Carbon dioxide was 392 ppm in Earth's atmosphere as of last year. Given your abject stupidity, you might not be able to do the math, but 392 ppm is a lot higher than 2 ppm.

@JonThm June 30, 2012 at 8:40 am

Daily global photosynthesis produces global carbon dioxide to 2ppm. The local level rises over cities are too minuscule, the global impact! They just increased local crop yields.

@JonThm June 30, 2012 at 8:42 am

There is no possible mechanism for carbon dioxide at a static two parts per million can affect the weather at all!

@sdkee July 1, 2012 at 9:53 am

Recent studies in Japanese data have shown both. The idea that neither was present was based on the same flawed data selection as the hockey stick.

> We are not "in an ice age

I have to disagree. Look at the recent geological history. If historical patterns persist then we are coming up for glaciers over NYC.

? from periods in which humans would not have been able to survive

On the contrary, the age of humans started at the end of the last glaciation. Humans do better warm.

@RedXlV July 1, 2012 at 1:51 pm

There was nothing flawed about the hockey stick data. And the fact that there will inevitably be another ice age in the distant future in no way implies that we're in an ice age NOW. Temperatures keep going up, and you claim we're in an ice age. That's just nuts.

@JonThm July 4, 2012 at 7:13 pm

Photosynthesis on land and in the seas has limited free carbon dioxide in the air to have free industrial two parts per million! Man made climate change is third rate fiction from nuclear power and its paid stooges! Aided by the stupid!

@sdkee July 5, 2012 at 8:08 am

> There was nothing flawed about the hockey stick data.

Except that if you take out one particular set of bristlecone pine data the hockey stick completely disappears. And that the reason that this particular set of data was weighed so heavily is that the program used to weigh the data was given urban-warming contaminated data to use as "calibration"?

And that using the same "calibration" random noise used as "data" generates the same hockey stick?

Other than that you mean?

@JonThm July 7, 2012 at 1:47 pm

I used a speech recognition program! AGW is the worst nuclear fiction!

@RedXlV July 8, 2012 at 6:14 am

There is no "urban-warming contaminated data". That's just yet another lie that science deniers put forth to pretend global warming isn't happening.

@RedXlV July 8, 2012 at 6:17 am

Saying it doesn't make it so, nutcase. Current CO2 levels are nearly 200 times what you claim they're "limited" to.

@JonThm July 8, 2012 at 8:27 am

High school biology teaches that plants metabolise all extra carbon dioxide to increased life on earth! Restoring life that died in the Jurassic! Global carbon dioxide levels are still at a free industrial two parts per million. How the stupid are you?

@JonThm July 9, 2012 at 7:46 am

Global photosynthesis limits free average global carbon dioxide to two parts per 1,000,000! Local date are shows every sign of totally fabricated. High school biology predicts that man can not increase global carbon dioxide levels! He increases life on earth instead!

@RedXlV July 9, 2012 at 9:26 am

Again, it's 400 parts per million. Not 2. 400. Get that through your thick skull.

@JonThm July 9, 2012 at 11:16 am

Every day global photosynthesis reduces free carbon dioxide in the global air down to two parts per 1,000,000! That is biological fact! It encompasses everything we now amassed 300 years about biology. Man made climate change is fiction on behalf of nuclear power-the most toxic industry on earth! Remember windscale ,3 mile island, Chernobyl and Fukushima the weather has been cooling for for teen years! Carbon dioxide has been static for 200. Go argue with high school biology!

@RedXlV July 11, 2012 at 8:22 pm

Then why does every actual measurement of CO2 show that it's at nearly 400 parts per million? THAT is the fact, your "2 parts per million" is fiction. And if it's been cooling for the last ten, years, why have the last ten years been the warmest on record?

And no, the nuclear industry is not "the most toxic industry on earth". That would be the coal industry. Coal produces more toxic and radioactive waste than nuclear power, and kills far more people.

@JonThm July 11, 2012 at 8:42 pm

It is biologically impossible for the average global carbon dioxide level of carbon dioxide to rise above two parts per million. All higher readings are produced by are paid nuclear stooges for the stupid to believe!

@RedXlV July 12, 2012 at 1:33 am

Never in all of human history has CO2 been as low as two parts per million.

@JonThm July 12, 2012 at 9:51 am

For the last 200 years global average carbon dioxide has been at two parts per 1,000,000: date are new scientist. In the Permian it fell to one part per million. And 90% of life on earth died!

@RedXlV July 13, 2012 at 4:14 am

No, nutcase, for the last 200 years global CO2 levels have never been below two HUNDRED parts per million. And now they're almost FOUR HUNDRED ppm. The last time CO2 levels were this high was over 15 million years ago.

Also, the Permian extinction wasn't caused by a drop in CO2. It was most likely caused by a massive RISE in CO2. At the time of the Permian mass extinction, CO2 had spiked to 1500 parts per million.

@JonThm July 13, 2012 at 8:03 am

According to high school biology, and confirmed by Harvard University 22 and, the global average carbon dioxide level in the air has been static for last two centuries at two parts per 1,000,000!

@RedXlV July 13, 2012 at 6:25 pm

Repeating the same lie will accomplish nothing, troll.

@JonThm July 13, 2012 at 8:18 pm

Basic high school biology teaches that photosynthesis meters static trace of carbon dioxide in the air outside a natural ice age= when levels rise! This is a self evident truth only idiots and capable of grasping! Carbon dioxide is static for two centuries. Troll right back out here!

@Hootowl54 July 16, 2012 at 11:59 pm

Gee, I wonder if 'they' are using HAARP to convince the public that global warming is real. I don't know. Do you? I'm only saying, I wouldn't put it past our gov't to do something like that. Also, many scientists have an agenda. Big oil scientists on one side and the IPCC scientists whose paychecks depend on global warming being real on the other side. Is it possible to find a scientist without an agenda? Anytime I hear a so-called professional opinion, I always wonder who is influencing them.

@georgebailey4997 July 18, 2012 at 11:47 pm

Here's a good question though. If all the scientists who doubt mmgw are paid off by the oil companies, then why don't the tobacco companies pay off scientists to dispute the link between smoking and cancer?

@Hootowl54 July 19, 2012 at 1:52 am

I would be interested to see the percentage breakdown between denier and alarmist scientists who have an agenda. We'll never know for sure. I think the percentage would be much greater with the alarmists. I think like Ron Paul. Sure, humans have some effect but not as much as the alarmists would have you believe. I worry about the possibility of HAARP weakening earth's magnetic field. They should make sure it will have no negative effect first. Soon there will be many more of them operating.

@Hootowl54 July 19, 2012 at 2:05 am

As far as tobacco, the cancer link evidence is now crystal clear to everyone, even the tobacco companies. But 50+ years ago, tobacco companies paid off doctors to advertise for them. Try searching 'More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette' or 'Cigarettes are good for you.' You'll get a laugh. πŸ™‚

@georgebailey4997 July 19, 2012 at 9:14 am

That's my point. Any scientist who disputed the link between cigarette smoking and cancer would be a laughingstock because the tobacco/cancer link is clear, unlike the global warming theory.

@sdkee July 21, 2012 at 10:55 am

> no "urban-warming contaminated data"

LOL. This may be the stupidest thing I've ever heart uttered in relation to climate.

Go sit on an asphalt surface in the summer. If it gets hot, do you stay there, or do you find a spot of grass to sit on?

@kamshaft111 July 21, 2012 at 3:39 pm

Will you substantiate your claim that there is no link between global warming and human activity (if that's what you meant)

@RedXlV July 22, 2012 at 11:25 am

That's not relevant, sdkee, because it has not resulted in any "contaminated data". Data collected from rural areas has shown EXACTLY THE SAME AMOUNT OF WARMING. But you'd rather throw out random irrelevancies than acknowledge the truth.

@350orbust August 13, 2012 at 1:31 pm

LOL "It's your theory, not mine." What about the drought – is that somebody else's problem, too? How about wildfires? Fish dying in rivers in the midwest bcz the water is too hot? Ocean acidification from absorbing so much of the CO2 we're pouring into the atmosphere? When does it bcm "your" problem, when it's in your backyard, and your fridge is empty bcz food is so expensive & it's too hot to grow corn in the midwest anymore? Wow. W/ this kind of thinking, we deserve what's coming.

@shaochiavang September 4, 2012 at 7:00 pm

Global warming isn't about the earth warming up and getting hotter, its about climate changes.

@peopleofthecircle November 5, 2012 at 7:24 am

Deniers are now also dening an increase to extreme weather – whats next? 3 frankenstorms have hit northern Eastern Seaboard in 2 years.

@peopleofthecircle November 9, 2012 at 1:59 pm

Weather tracks (think of storm tracks) are affected too. This year the weather of the Mexican deserts was 'pushed' into the mid-west.
Hurricanes reaching further north is another example.

@askquestionsplz March 4, 2013 at 10:09 pm

what about chemtrails?? i see them 24.7

@askquestionsplz March 4, 2013 at 10:13 pm

most the the "global warming" issues are coming from the sun and it's changing surface.. emitting more heat.. while we have had effect on pollution, the world has gone through massive changes before and will continue to do so (ie ice ages.. ) there are many causes but the same group that released these statements seeks a tax on carbon emissions making all of us responsible for the weather which is complete nonsense.. think about the major corps that have no regs or taxing! they wont have to pay

@AtomSmash3r March 4, 2013 at 11:41 pm

That's odd since total solar irradiance has fallen over the last several sunspot cycles, yet the earth's temperature has continued to increase. Yes, the worlds climate has undergone massive changes previously, but that occured over the course of 10's of thousands of years, whereas mans CO2 emissions will have warmed the planet so much that it will be warmer in the next 90 years than it has been for the last million years.

@PacificCircle1 June 9, 2015 at 6:28 am

Now it is the California drought. Little did we know here in CA, that our two slightly dry winters was going to be followed by more precipitation shortfall.

@theTOOLshed1 November 28, 2015 at 10:01 am

"And [Bristol Palin] says, '[the left] thinks the world's gonna end'. No, you guys think the world's gonna end. You're the ones who believe in armageddon, not us. So the whole thing is just one giant projection, as usual."
