[QUOTE="Roller, post: 2214649, member: 507942"] Carbon dioxide is an inert gas. Yes. And there is more of it in the Earths atmosphere than at any time over some millions of years, before man arrived on the planet. The CO2 we are putting into the atmosphere was deposited many millions of years ago as another form of carbon, over the course of millions of years. This is not really disputable. Man has consumed half of that accumulation almost in the “blink of an eye”. Given that it is an awful lot of carbon that we are talking about, that’s a lot of CO2 that we have pumped into the atmosphere. To get our heads around that we have to appreciate the deep time ( many millions ) involved in the original accumulation and then compare with the relatively short time (100 or so years) that we have blown it away into the atmosphere. We know when the carbon was accumulated, how long it took to accumulate and how long it has been sitting around under the ground,until unleashed by man. It is common knowledge in scientific circles.
