CLIMATE CHANGE TERMINATED 1 :Part 1. The Problem in a Nut Shell

[121antimony]

Mr. Ywomans needs to stick to soil.  A lot of what he says is quite correct, but I don't understand why he insists that CO2 is the only greehouse gas. H2O is the principal greenhouse gas and CO2 has varied widely over geologic time with little change in global temperature. The points that improved agriculture could recover CO2 is probably correct.

@121antimony He knows what he's doing. Anyone who criticises atmoshpheric CO2 orthodoxy will be attacked and shut down. Soil is the solution. Depleted, devegetated soil, exposed to the sun and wind, causes heating and drying - desertification. Reversing this, by modifying our agriculture, will cool the planet's surface. Soil carbon has drastically depleted in recent decades. It needs to be restored quickly. Soil carbon is the real problem. Atmospheric CO2 is more a symptom than a cause.

@Snurdgerbly I think the real problem is the way we are taking geological carbon, oil, coal and gas and adding it to the biosphere. Increasing soil fertility takes it from the air and into the soil. That only solves the problem provided no more carbon is dug from the deep earth and added to the biosphere.. The whole story is at my web site, Yeomans Concepts.

@121antimony Sure atmospheric water content is a huge factor. So you say the draft horse is more important than the driver. The area of the oceans is very constant the other gases control the air’s water content.

Sure CO2 has varied over geologic time but negligible throughout human existence. A few billion years ago air was nearly all CO2. So what? We weren’t there. And temperature changes took thousands of years, not months.
