CO2 - why does every little bit count

[***super_nova***]

It really is very simple.  There is CO2 in the atmosphere but the amount is normally static; there is an equilibrium.  But since the start of industrial revolution it has been steadily increasing.  Why does as little as few percent make difference?

Imagine you have a large tub almost full of water.  There is a tap running 100 litres per day into it, and on the bottom is a drain that takes away 100litres.  Therefore the level stays the same.  If you increase the water coming in by only 1%, it will add 101 litre per day, if the output stays the same, the water will slowly start rising, and one day it will overflow.

not another thread about climate change is it.

just a simple explanation why every little bit counts for people who still do not get it 🙂

some will never 'get it' as they wear the conservative blindfold of convenience (it dates from the cone of silence era )

First thing that has to be established without any doubt is that CO2 causes an increase in temperature, that has not been proven. The next thing that has to be proven that a minuscule variation in temperature is causing a disruption to the highly volatile and variable changes in the Earth's Climate patterns.

Neither of those things have been proven.

Reliance on computer modeling as proof is about as reliable as building a skyscraper on a foundation of quicksand

this is really simple too

If you want to be worried about something, and I mean really, really, really  worried, try Fukushima, and the ongoing issues there.

Just because our media ignores this unfolding tragedy, does not mean it has gone away.

This WILL be significant for mankind, very very significant.

Research the dead zones that are now appearing across the Pacific and off the coast of California.

actually for people not in the region of the reactor carbon pollution is a bigger problem. surprising , but correct.

The amount is normally static?........lol......That is completely incorrect......

Carbon dioxide levels have always changed.......it's cyclic........*sigh*.......,and natural......

  confirmed , established ,proven ..

its you that needs to prove the best and brightest wrong, good luck with that

The passage of time will do that LL.

Don't worry there will always be a crisis threatening mankind and the planet that will be created to replace past threats to us all that the powers that be will attempt to ram down the sheepies throats to fleece them of their hard earned cash
