It’s official: July was Earth’s hottest month on record

What's needed to cool the earth is less sun, so subscribe to MS Cloud, the more people on cloud, the more shade.
This will alleviate the problem of cutting down trees in Amazon.

No, clouds trap heat emanating from the earth's surface. We need no clouds.
 
Tell us,

Are you suggesting that increases in greenhouse gases, in a closed system, will not lead to greenhouse warming?

Or put another way,

Do you believe that increases in greenhouse gases, in a closed system, will not lead to greenhouse warming?
Are you suggesting that you have read up on the subject and think you have evidence of the relative importance of greenhouse gasses in the overall heating of the Entire Solar System? Are you serious right now?

I simply asked you a question. You responded with a question to me.
I renew my question.
 
CO2 is bad, very bad. We must get CO2 emissions to zero, so we kill all greenery on the planet and destroy all O2 production.

Because when we kill all the trees by getting CO2 to zero, the planet will stop making oxygen. That will eventually kill all humans, which apparently is the cause of the CO2 problem.

CO2 gone? Then O2 gone. O2 gone? Then people gone.

Earth is saved for the spotted owl!
If we can get our science right and avoid Science by Public Consensus. We'll be OK.
 
In addition to what @piezoe says:

Imagine if you had a pimple, and later that day, were told you were dying of cancer.

Would you be worrying about that pimple?
holy shit is that what people actually believe? lol i have once again over estimated the average IQ.
 
Well, CO2 is not a pollutant, it's an essential component of the atmosphere.

eh, arguable. Pollutants, like poison, is all in the dosage. I wouldn't want to be in a c02 filled garage for long. Just the same, we wouldn't want greenhouse gases in the upper atmosphere in concentrations greater than necessary to sustain life on earth.
 
Well, CO2 is not a pollutant, it's an essential component of the atmosphere. The other components a few of which we call pollutants are present at very small concentration compared to CO2, and CO2 itself is only a trace component of the air. We must take concentration into account . For an interesting alternative view see physicist Nir Shaviv's work.
The SCOTUS ruled that greenhouse gases are pollutants and can be regulated by the EPA. Ergo, Co2 is a pollutant.

Environmentalists hail Supreme Court ruling on carbon

:rolleyes:

Don't be silly. Read Massachusetts v EPA. The Supreme Court did no such thing. Even ex-Circuit Court Judges know that the only CO2 you can regulate is what is voluntarily produced by man. and that one CO2 molecule is indistinguishable from another, and that CO2 is a natural and essential component of the atmosphere if life on the planet it to supported. The ruled in Massachusetts v EPA that the EPA could regulate human emissions of CO2. It was the NRDC that interpreted the Court ruling incorrectly as having ruled that CO2 is "a pollutant" . The Court always rules narrowly on only the question brought before it.
 
The blanket statement that "CO2 is a pollutant" is incorrect. That was my only point. So we ought not to think of it as such. Your characterization was correct. Now Arnie has caused me to make an additional point, viz., The Court has ruled that CO2 emissions can be regulated by the EPA. They did not rule that CO2 is a pollutant. That incorrect use of the term "pollutant" to characterize CO2 in the atmosphere is due to the NRDC (National Resources Defense Council).
