BREAKING NEWS CO2 levels at 4.5 million year high


...just in time for Sleepy Joe to declare an emergency.

What were they at 4.6 million years ago? And did the people back then carpool or switch to electric cars to bring the levels down?

Right wing extremists don't accept the premise that the earth is that old.

reply

I'm just wondering if they've ever been higher.

reply

Probably during a period of time when the earth was uninhabitable except, perhaps, by microbial life.

reply

did we have billions of humans 4.6 million years? with societies and economies that are so interconnected and soo fragile a slight gas price rise and inflation can be crippling ?

what do you think massive climate change will be? a walk in the park for our economies and societies? when massive amounts of crops get wiped out. and extreme weather patterns increase.

Im sure it'll be fine. my city tended to have a fairly normal summer climate. Pretty damn hot, a decent amount of humidity but nothing crazy, and a fair amount of rain.

this year our city got hit by a tornado. which has never ever happened. just got hit by one. last summer we got a month straight of 80%+ humidity and insane heat. the year before. a drought. the year before? intense rain, so much so the locks were overran and the river flooded. the army had to come in to help.

both years the normally 9 foot tall corn feilds barely made it to 5 feet. this is what massive lower crop yields on a global scale will look like.

this is all totally normal right? This isnt just happening here its GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE

Leo makes light of the gas prices because it's safe for him down in mom's basement.

Plants eat C02....why don't they plant more trees? This is not an emergency.

reply

Trees get in the way of windmills and solar panel.The only solution is population control.

reply

I think digital tracking and a social credits system is the obvious solution.

reply

Fag boy democrats will want to waste time with that.

reply

"The only solution is population control."



THAT IS THE SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING.

"The only solution is population control."
I agree , but with the right all up for banning birth control , like religious crazies , hows that gonna happen?

reply

I've made that point many times. If they are really worried as much as they claim they would all be planting trees and trying to find ways to extract CO2 from the atmosphere.

And they would be spinning wheels in reverse about catering to and doing so much business with China. China is by far the main CO2 culprit currently.

reply

Because it's not really about the environment...

China needs to be shut down, and Americans have to go back to paying more for shit that doesn't break, and lasts a long time.

reply

Liberals have always been advocating for that, but clear cutting the rain forests continues.

reply

With all those college degrees you'd think they'd have taken over these evil corporations, and stopped the cutting.

reply

are you really this dumb? plants dont "eat" CO2 and make it disappear.. and the carbon gets released once the tree dies. it gets temporarily stored in the trees

reply

Who measured these levels 4.5 million years ago??

reply

"Beyond a million years, we don’t have any direct measurements of the composition of ancient atmospheres, but we can use several methods to estimate past levels of carbon dioxide. One method uses the relationship between plant pores, known as stomata, that regulate gas exchange in and out of the plant."

If you weren't so busy stuffing your face, you might know this.

reply

And were they as agenda driven as todays so-called “climate experts” and “objective media”?

reply

Ancient dinosaur scientists. Like Barney but smarter.

reply

Clean up the US so the pollution in China will collapse over to here and they will have a cleaner country.

reply

Well, most developed nations have done things to address climate change. It's time to put pressure on China. I know its a crazy idea because living in oppression and working in sweatshops in trendy in 2022, but maybe it should be done.

Until then, toss these article in the garbage.

reply

We can’t do that, the NBA and Nike might lose a few bucks in sneaker sales to people on government assistance.
