Let’s do what if.
Internet search engines are your friends.
Or perhaps you have something you want to say?
One doesn’t need search engines to be aware of basic records of ancient geology and past climate averages.
Q 1. What’s so bad about a warmer earth? A. Going from prior geological records, nothing, unless one is arguing boiling seas levels of heat, and that isn’t likely to happen for about 4bn years.
The Cambrian period and other prior periods were way, way warmer than it is today, and some had large amounts of ppm Co2 and life was abundant & earth greened.(however high co2 and earth temp has little to no correlation over geological time frames)
The Roman and both medical warm periods also brought advances in civilisations because it’s easier to flourish in warmer climates than it is colder. The medieval warm period was warmer than it is today.
Q.2 what’s so bad about the ice caps melting? a. Nothing terrible. They melted and weren’t formed for long geological periods with no harm, it’s patently common sense that artic animals would prefer and thrive in a warmer ice free continent than a brutally cold one.
Some of the richest varied fish and coral life is found in the hottest waters. Coral loves warmer water and warmer is better for many species of ocean life.
Q3. What’s so bad about rising co2 levels? To say 2000ppm? a. Nothing. It’s been higher than that in the past, in fact, the current level, 400ppm is close to the ‘death zone’ of plants being viable.
We need more co2, not less. Co2 is the gas of life- it makes plants flourish. If co2 was “toxic” or a “pollutant” commercial greenhouses wouldn’t pump the gas into their greenhouses to thousands of ppm. (Natural gas burners basically)Even then you need at least 10,000ppm for co2 to start to have an effect on humans.
Even the miniscule rise in co2 levels has done wonders for some areas of the planet.
I’m any case. Even if mankind tried to burn all the fuels economically viable to extract as quickly as possible, there wouldn’t be enough fuel in the ground to raise it another 400ppm or so (conservatively) or 2600ppm at the top end to get to the 12c the IPCC claims to be at the top end of their predictions.
End of the day, there’s a simple answer to power generation that removes the co2 hysteria completely. Nuclear Power.
