Mother Nature wants to speak to you...http://news.yahoo.com/photos/underwa...337009918.html

Cool pics, Iffy!

Can you imagine flying over that when it goes bang?

Now ask yourself: how much CO2 did those blasts put into the atmosphere last year, compared to how much Man put in last year?

(And note well the one thing the AGW crowd refuses to tell you: Mother Nature recycles CO2.)

Dear Dumb Shits,

Mother Nature has to have enough territory to recycle CO2. At the rate civilization is destroying Mother Nature's ability to clean the air and water, we are rapidly reaching a tipping point for the planet. It will be a place from whence recovery is impossible.

Denying that the tipping point exists is a symptom of anxiety avoidance and stupidity.

Most of the CO2 recycling (translation: oxygen production) occurs in the open ocean, in the surface algae.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to find ways to protect the forests from urban incursion and "slash-and-burn" agriculture.

Alleging the existence of a "tipping point", at CO2 concentrations 10% higher than current, ignores the fossil records that indicate that CO2 concentrations have been MUCH, MUCH (as in several times, not several percent) higher in the past.

It also ignores the fact that Mother Nature responds to increased CO2 by growing more plants, both on land and in the water, which reduces the CO2 concentration. (The carbon cycle used to be taught in elementary school science, and again in junior high school life science, and yet again in high school biology. Unfortunately, someone apparently decided that teaching science was politically incorrect.)

The critical chemistry can be summarized (oversimplified) in one line:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O <---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + energy

C6H12O6 is carbohydrate (simple sugar). For the biochemistry-impaired: FOOD.
