Everything in nature seeks balance.
That includes us – or one would hope!

What the balance is for the earth at any one particular time in its continual state of flux will always be unknown. cosmic winds and solar winds are also a vast variable that are in constant states of flux.
Water vapour – a massive variable and funnily enough never mentioned !

Half the time the experts get the weekly weather wrong!
Saying that .035% CO2 (never mind that we only contribute 1-2% of that) is adversely effecting the weather is like saying that 1000 people pissing in the Mediterranean will cause it to go toxic.

What an utter complete load of crap!

First, I do not believe the earth is 10000 years old. Neither do many Republicans. Second, what does the fact that most of us don’t live in antarctic have to do with anything? If your so ignorant that you do not understand that to reasonably predict the future climate changes you need to know what happened in the past then your beyond help. But most FA readers have known that for some time based on your comments.

First the bible says that the earth is less than 10,000 years old don’t want to lose that base by going past that now do we ?
Second we as humans aren’t too concerned about what happens south of the equator. Few of us live there.
And humans are more interested in what is going to happen in the next 100 years compared to what might happen in say a billion years.

The problem with the ‘man mad global warming’ crowd and carbon dioxide, is that they haven’t bothered to study any long range examinations of carbon dioxide against average planetary temperature. Recorded history is the last second on a clock on the last day of the year on the last month of the year, with the year starting 4.5 billion years ago.

Turn back a couple of months and you can find times when planetary temperatures were far higher, and yet would never exceed +14 C above present. Those times had lovely features: low plate movement, continents riding far lower than they do today, vast shallow seas over continents acting has heat reservoirs, no continents at either pole. During most of the pangaea times, this would be true, save for the time that supercontinent wandered into the south pole… then the planet became a snowball for a few million years. During the hundreds of millions of years when the average planetary temperature was that high, and stable, carbon dioxide amounts wandered all over the place and only getting back to the carboniferous do you see that level zoom up to over 20 times its current level (over 7,000ppm vs ~312ppm today) and more methane and water vapor, too… all ‘greenhouse gases’. Life had lots of time to remove that carbon dioxide, and put it into deposits we see today: coal, oil, methane, and calcium carbonate (along with other carbonate rocks). Most of it went into rocks that you can’t burn or do much with to get the carbon out of them.

You want global warming? Get that damned continent out of the south pole as it is a giant heat sink for the planet, then slow down the continents and volcanic activity, then let the continents subside and water flow over them to get those lovely days of Jurrasic and Cretaceous back so the planetary climate is like the Bahamas.

As it is, the outlook for the next few million years is chilly with long glacial periods punctuated by short warming periods marked by erratic temperature swings. Check back in 5 million years for an updated forecast.
