Here's the truth about CO2... Carbon dioxide is colourless, tasteless and above all, NON-TOXIC... The current average atmospheric amount 400 ppm. (Parts Per MILLION)... So that’s ; 400 in every 1,000,000. 40 in every 100.000 4 in every 10,000 2 in every 5,000 1 in every 2,500.... ONE molecule in every two thousand five hundred PARTS. Now, try to imagine a science-fiction story where they invent a molecule that can hold extreme "endothermic" heat (absorbing heat) and then mix it in with 2,500 other molecules that don't... how hot would that overall MIX of 2,501 molecules be? In that wild science FICTION scenario, if Boyle's Second Law of Thermodynamics was applied, that single molecule would need to be 2,500 DEGREES Celsius to raise every other molecule just 1 degree Celsius. Global warming BECAUSE of CO2? Really?!

Global warming BECAUSE of CO2? Really?! Exactly correct Lin. What started out as Global Warming morfed into Climate Change and then into Climate Crisis. This has moved away from science and into politics. People on the left (Democrats in the USA) accept it as undeniable truth. They want carbon credits, switch to solar and wind based power sources, the end of oil and gas as a fuel (read: electric cars. trucks, and busses). This is now a religion with them. If you argue a different point of view they'll just dismiss you as uninformed. They've ingested the Kool-Aid and accepted it as fact. True enough, the planet is warming. I'll give them that. We've had relatively mild winters the last few years where I live. Glaciers are melting. What they choose to ignore is the fact that the earth's climate has been changing for millions of years. Remember the ice age when most of Europe looked like Greenland. Those oil deposits are in Saudi Arabia because that area was once a jungle crowded with plant life. Those plants were there for a long time because the oil was created by organic material (decaying plants). Their most questionable position is their presumption that the policies they propose might actually change the climate. I don't think so. We're shutting down coal plants while China is building new ones at the same time. In fact, China should be the focus of discussions about curbing climate change by limiting CO2 emissions, carbon credits, etc. Any plan that omits huge populations like China and India is bound to fail.

That is spot on, As you say this is Nothing New, But its Not Just China, But Australia also is A Big Polluter with Coal Mining still going on in a big way, And they still have Coal Fired Power Points, The last I heard Trump just thought Climate change was a Joke, Its Not, Its Real, And has as you rightly posted DAS been going on for Millions of Years, But still its Us who need to Change, both in how we handle & perhaps slow down the rate of Change, Or Adapt our way of Life to Cope with Climate Change
