Pay no attention to the sputnik troll; he has no credible evidence to support his FUD.

Here's the NRDC web site and the peer-reviewed research that supports this video:

@sputnik

"Jurassic period ... 7X the CO2 as today"

WIkipedia is not a credible source. Even if your information is correct, what's your point?

"trivial 1% change"

Source?

Source... google SPPI Acid Test.
I know wiki isn't credible... there is plenty of geological evidence for more CO2 than today.

Anything can be poisonous in large quantities. You deliberately removed context. It would take 2500 years to reach levels OSHA considers hazardous according to that uigi site.

The point is increased CO2 may not be the cause of the recent decreased pH (in enough amount) and a major coming disaster like the video infers.

"CO2 is not a poison."

Not necessarily:
uigi. com/MSDS_gaseous_CO2.html

Furthermore, doubling the amount in the atmosphere would trigger catastrophic climate changes.

But the political economic system structure and it's effects on population due to it being a pyramid model is not on the agenda.

How can you have a debate about the environment without population being addressed?

You debate by NOT having an all or nothing approach. Just because we cant fly to mars doesn't mean we shouldn't try for the moon. Over-pop may bring the end of all species but does that mean we shouldnt try to do what we can in the meantime? How would we fix over-pop?

The variables of (a), (b) and (c) in this instance do not matter as they are all operating within the parameters of "P" = "political economic pyramid model.

(a-b-c) = P

P = Z

This is the problem, no one has built a complete model of the existing, everyone is working in their own little project. Time to call a ceasefire and collate ALL the data. The UN is trying, and as much as you do not like that, somebody has to.

Over-pop and the political model are defiantly a problem in current conditions. There are also cultural influences that maintain the system. I would like to be optimistic and say changes could be made, but I dont see any possible way to bring about changes; do you?

I do not have a problem with the UN compiling data? The summary and inference that all 2500 contributors endorse the summary is what I have problems with, 'cause they dont. Many of the contributors are political figures.
