@NatureChasing ... I'm sorry to tell you that I have a BSc in Biochemistry and worked as a chemical engineer for waste water treatment for many years after that. I was an ecomentalist member of greenpeace. Our judgements judge us, you reveal you are not willing to educate yourself with an open mind; the brainwashing is your own. I am not here to educate you. I am challenging people to question how these 'facts' have been arrived at. When I did so I found politics, not scientific objectivity. Ty.

@david222444 Lol see thats what you don't get, the planet will survive WITHOUT humans, you won't survive without the planet. You're an absolute fool, debating with no facts, other than those which belong to conspiracies. Go get an education, then we'll talk

[david222444]

@NatureChasing Humans are part of the environment whatever they do. That is a simple fact that cannot be denied. We are a part of nature not nature's controllers. The Planet will survive with or without humans. You are the one who is brainwashed.

@david222444 But the one you just explained is... You're beating around the cause trying to say that humans aren't doing any damage, when you can just about go anywhere and see the damage that humans have done. Like I said, get off the CO2 idea and look at something else... Look at nuclear energy and how successful that is, oh but humans don't cause any damage to our environment. YOU sir, are in fact, brainwashed. And in that blissful sleep which you reside in, you fail to see the massive damage

@NatureChasing Coral is a symbiotic relationship between photosyntheic algae (which needs carbon dioxide to produce energy)and the coral polyp. Without algae the animal polyp will appear clear. Carbon dioxide is vital to coral. This animal/plant is sensetive to pollution and carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Cycles of life and death and succession occur naturally and not every single event is the fault of man.

@david222444 Blame it on the sun, blame it on whatever you'd like, look at the data with your own eyes. Go scuba diving on a reef and look at all the bleached corals that didn't used to look like that.

@NatureChasing Dont be silly 70% of the Planet is ocean miles deep. The co2 content of the atmodphere is 0.038% and you say that this will acidify the oceans lol. The Troposphere is cooling, the Sun is entering a Grand Minimum, the Pacific has entered a cold PDO,the Atlantic has just entered and cold AMO. Carbon dioxide, a gas vital to food production is insignificant to the climate. Abrupt cooling is much more likely. YOU are brainwashed.

[david222444]

The truth is that we have Global Cooling.

@harrytuttletoo Unfortunately you are severely mislead. I'm going to go off the top of my head and say that you have little to no knowledge of planetary, biological, or climatological science. Stop making outlandish claims, with NO proof to back them up. I can easily show you how CO2 ruins ecosystems, in a relatively simple experiment. Blow air into a straw in a sealed cup, with a pH meter, and you'll see the water becomes more acidic. The more acidic water = less life. You're brainwashed...

[harrytuttletoo]

No, this man is a fraud. CO2 is NOT a climate driver and its not our welfare that drives this man. Please be suspicious of any 'scientist' who substitutes fear and alarmism for scientific debate. This is NOT the scientific way. PLEASE check his 'science'. We are not a disease on this planet, we are nature's human beings.
