But.............nice attempt at a smokescreen.
You're right..............CO2 IS a chemical compound
CO2 is a trace gas.........im not worried either way. Evidently, a huge majority of the population isnt either.
Progressives though......they worry about everything. Somethngs gotta be angst in their life ALL THE FUCKING TIME!! Its called embracing the tragic view of life.
The only retards here are people who don't grasp 8th grade science enough to realize they are being hosed. Political cult? Brainwashing? Whatever are you talking about, fool? I know people who are Liberal, Conservative, Democrat, Republican, Independent, Libertarian, and Anarchist, who don't worship at the alter in the Church of Al Gore! Get real!p
The thing about your idiotic analogy is, if your house was the Earth, it makes perfect sense. If we knew our imminent demise was going to become a gradual cooling down, why would we want to halt warming up?

Why are you trying to pretend you're not part of the right-wing extremist fringe cult?
You propose we emit more CO2 _now_ and roast the earth _now_, to fix a problem a billion years away.
You, on the other hand, define him as a kind of all-powerful demon figure.
The article and the OP is absured. *The article ends with "By the point at which all life disappears from the planet, we're left with a nitrogen/carbon-dioxide atmosphere with methane being the only sign of active life"
Get that? *It is a bit unclear.
And, to the best of our understanding, eventually, the universe will expand into a vast expance of nothingingness. *If we don't drive ourselves into extinction, the sun will destroy the solar system anyways. *If mankind manages to exit this orb of death and desruction, finding refuge on some new world, or searching endlessly as some Battlestar Gallactica, the universe will eventually expand into a sea of cold nothingness.
Before that even comes to pass, each individual shuffles off*this mortal coil.
And so here we are, neither willing to simply stop eating and breathing, constantly struggling against the inevitable. *The only question is, as you do, are you going concern yourself with little more than your own well being? *Or do you consider the well being of others as well?
Because I am not part of a right-wing extremist fringe cult.
CO2 doesn't roast anything, that is your birdbrain alarmist theory which has been debunked.
Nope... Never have defined Gore as all-powerful anything, much less a demon. He's a charlatan, and someone who has made a small fortune on the stupidity of morons like you, that's all.
You're right..............plants DO use CO2 for their way of living. Only trouble is, we're giving off more CO2 than the plants can use, which is resulting in the earth warming up and weather doing really weird things.
Or......................do you think it's normal that Washington DC has snow at about the same time that Canada has to truck it in for the Olympics?
Might wanna check on the flooding here in the U.S., as well as the flooding happening over in other countries.
Oh yeah.................can we talk about the fact that a hurricane hit NYC and New Jersey for the first time in almost all the recorded history of this country?
Untrue. When CO2 levels get that high it gets sequestered in the oceans by the formation of limestone. You should take a geology class sometime. Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is formed in the deep ocean (when there's enough CO2 to do it) away from the shores where sand is compacted to form sandstone, and even further out from where the clays settle out to form mudstone which is then further metamorphosed to form slates and schists through the engine of subduction.
There has been no limestone made for at least 5 million years.......at least none that we can find...
Really? Limestone is formed in the deep ocean?
Like most other sedimentary rocks, most limestone is composed of grains. Most grains in limestone are skeletal fragments of marine organisms such as coral or foraminifera. Other carbonate grains comprising limestones are ooids, peloids, intraclasts, and extraclasts. These organisms secrete shells made of aragonite or calcite, and leave these shells behind after the organisms die.
Limestone often contains variable amounts of silica in the form of chert (chalcedony, flint, jasper, etc.) or siliceous skeletal fragment (sponge spicules, diatoms, radiolarians), and varying amounts of clay, silt and sand (terrestrial detritus) carried in by rivers.
Some limestones do not consist of grains at all, and are formed completely by the chemical precipitation of calcite or aragonite, i.e. travertine. Secondary calcite may be deposited by supersaturated meteoric waters (groundwater that precipitates the material in caves). This produces speleothems, such as stalagmites and stalactites. Another form taken by calcite is oolitic limestone, which can be recognized by its granular (oolite) appearance.
The primary source of the calcite in limestone is most commonly marine organisms. Some of these organisms can construct mounds of rock known as reefs, building upon past generations. Below about 3,000 meters, water pressure and temperature conditions cause the dissolution of calcite to increase nonlinearly, so limestone typically does not form in deeper waters (see lysocline). Limestones may also form in both lacustrine and evaporite depositional environments.[2][3]
Calcite can be either dissolved or precipitated by groundwater, depending on several factors, including the water temperature, pH, and dissolved ion concentrations. Calcite exhibits an unusual characteristic called retrograde solubility, in which it becomes less soluble in water as the temperature increases.
Because of impurities, such as clay, sand, organic remains, iron oxide and other materials, many limestones exhibit different colors, especially on weathered surfaces.
Limestone may be crystalline, clastic, granular, or massive, depending on the method of formation. Crystals of calcite, quartz, dolomite or barite may line small cavities in the rock. When conditions are right for precipitation, calcite forms mineral coatings that cement the existing rock grains together, or it can fill fractures.
Travertine is a banded, compact variety of limestone formed along streams, particularly where there are waterfalls, and around hot or cold springs. Calcium carbonate is deposited where evaporation of the water leaves a solution supersaturated with the chemical constituents of calcite. Tufa, a porous or cellular variety of travertine, is found near waterfalls. Coquina is a poorly consolidated limestone composed of pieces of coral or shells.
During regional metamorphism that occurs during the mountain building process (orogeny), limestone recrystallizes into marble.
Limestone is a parent material of Mollisol soil group.

Go bullshit someone else.
Try using a legitimate source next time dipshit...you know a GEOLOGIC website. You fucking idiots are all the same...lazy, too fucking lazy to do a little tiny bit of research...
"How Does Limestone Form?
Most carbonate rocks were deposited from seawater. These sedimentary carbonate rocks are common on every continent and have formed through most of geologic history; they are still forming today in the tropics as coral reefs and at the bottoms of shallow seas.
Marine limestone forms because seawater has high concentrations of two key dissolved chemicals-calcium (Ca++) and bicarbonate (HCO3-) ions. In the near-surface layer of most oceans, corals, clams, and other sea-dwelling creatures use these two chemicals to make protective shells by combining them to form calcite or "aragonite," which is the same chemical composition as calcite but has a different crystal form.

Because you originally said that limestone was formed in deep water. I showed you that it's not.
Evaporation of bodies of water also contributes to the formation of limestone.
It's not the deep ocean that does it dude.
The article and the OP is absured. *The article ends with "By the point at which all life disappears from the planet, we're left with a nitrogen/carbon-dioxide atmosphere with methane being the only sign of active life"

It's a bit unclear to you because you're stupid. You only read it to find things to pick apart and question. It's like attempting to have a reasonable conversation with a spoiled 7-year-old who doesn't want to take a nap. When the CO2 depletes to a certain level, photosynthesis can no longer occur, and plant life dies... followed closely by all other life. This is because the plant life produces oxygen, and without it, the other life can't live. Because CO2 is a natural byproduct of mammal decomposition, in the VERY end, there will be CO2... there will not be people. It's kind of like when someone bleeds to death, and yet, they still have some blood left in their body.
The only question is, as you do, are you going concern yourself with little more than your own well being? *Or do you consider the well being of others as well?
Why do you continue to pull at my heartstrings with your debunked theory? I consider the well-being of people who are trying to put food on the table and keep jobs, over and beyond the well-being of charlatans. I consider the well-being of corporations, businesses and taxpayers, over those who are running around like Chicken Little, screaming "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"

Of course I am reading it to pick it apart. I am also reading it to put it together. It is called critical thinking, you brainless numbnuts.
And it says what I quoted, not a decrease in CO2 but that eventually all it would be is nitrogen and CO2, with a little methane.
You are scanning things to find bullshit interpretations to support your own delusions. Try reading things for undertanding.
Because I am not part of a right-wing extremist fringe cult.
Yet you keep repeating all of their arguments verbatim. Kind of makes your claims of independence ring hollow. Did you actually think your "I'm such an independent!" charade was something we hadn't seen over and over?
CO2 doesn't roast anything, that is your birdbrain alarmist theory which has been debunked.
Your cult dogma says that, sure, but your cult dogma is ignored by everyone outside your cult. Denialism is now restricted to the right-wing extremist political cult in the USA/Canada/UK. Across the rest of planet earth, denialism is essentially dead and buried. Your little lunatic fringe is all that's left, and it's shrinking fast.
Nope... Never have defined Gore as all-powerful anything, much less a demon. He's a charlatan, and someone who has made a small fortune on the stupidity of morons like you, that's all.
Remember the "Gore Rule". Whoever brings up Al Gore first is a cultist. And it's always your side that brings up Gore.
Here on the rational side, we ignore Al Gore, since he's not a scientist. And we wonder where you get the insane ideas about how we follow Gore. Your cult brainwashing is quite thorough in that respect.
Yanno...................too much CO2 may help the plants, but if they can't overcome the amount, they will thrive, but everything else will die.
You DO realize that don't you? Higher forms of life require oxygen as well as other things, right?
Interestingly enough, the ones who said that global climate change didn't exist were those who were paid off by the oil companies.
Most of the world scientists state that there is something going on, and if we don't stop it, we're screwed.
But.....................keep thinking that climate change isn't going on....................especially when they have to truck snow into Calgary while Washington DC sees it's worst snow.
Oh yeah.....................Sandy was one of the few hurricanes to hit NYC and the Jersey shore.
