CO2 levels HAD to have been higher than they are now. It’s just common sense. Think about the era of the king lizards–the dinosaurs. During that era, the temperature was generally warmer, but guess what happened? Instead of mass extinctions and deserts planetwide, there was a flourishing of creatures not seen before or since. And then, at the end of the Cretaceous, CO2 levels had to have skyrocketed with the asteroid impact, which would have triggered volcanic eruptions–which would pour the gas into the atmosphere. It was during this period that mammals–pre-pre-humans, came into the fore. So, heh, I gues you would say that to say GW is bad would be to put a blot on our own birth, so to speak. This isn’t scientific, it’s speculation, but to me at least, it makes sense.
Toponga: Thank you for your report…I appreciate it. Now, as for the CO2, I didn’t know quite so many factors influenced global temp and climate–and apparently, neither do a lot of the alarmists I talk to, seeing as how all they do is harp about the CO2…and that’s also really the only one we can do much about to change…as far as I know, no one has developed terraforming or true total weather control–and water vapor is essential for life, so we’d better not mess with that…
Eash: you don’t make any sense. The Ice Age occurred AFTER the dinosaurs went extinct, not before…
