Red, Back in my early days during the first ice age the CO2 levels were way too low and it was hard to grow anything to eat. Very few of us survived. Any idea how hard it is to dig a volcano?
We need the increased CO2 to enable growing enough to feed the increased population. If it doesn't increase we'll be forced to offer human sacrifices again and burn the corpses to appease the gods. We found this didn't work either as man can't make radical changes on the earth. It took massive volcanoes to actually affect weather as evidenced in the last little ice age. Now adding electric cars to the mix has helped create a lot more C02 than normal but less than needed. Not allowing goats and sheep eat the brush in forests has helped too by helping create larger forest fires. Any idea how many cars it takes to equal the good of one forest fire that burns off all the humus? Cities are doing their part by paving everything over so the natural release of C02 is harder. Now most of my response sounds paradoxical because it is and makes at least as much sense as your answer. |

OK but the freeze danger is over for now and its so much fun to see people boil over.
Question. Are we going to see a cold summer like last yr? My crops looked good until the cold snap we had in July last. |

But many of us are old and forget why we came into the room.
