There was already a period in the history of the Earth when the CO2 content was almost 20 times higher than the present one. It was a Cambrian. And in Devon, the CO2 content was 12 times higher. As we know, the planet didn't boil then, and life didn't die. Exactly the opposite, it was a time when it bloomed.
The biosphere was tremendous. The biomass on Earth was many times larger. It was in the Devonian period that trees began to grow on land. Unfortunately, there were no tree-destroying xylotrophs in Devon yet, whose enzymes can break down lignin. In other words, trees have not rotted yet. Instead, they turned into coal and oil by removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Now we bring back the CO2 that was taken from the atmosphere at the beginning of the biosphere back into the atmosphere, and this has a positive effect on climate.

Over the past three decades, as CO2 increases, three-quarters of the planet has become greener. The so-called GPP, Gross Primary Production, an indicator that measures the daily productivity of the biosphere, has increased by 6.2% in 20 years by 2008 and continues to do so.
We cannot bring back into the atmosphere all the CO2 that was in it early in life. The fact is that, since CO2 is the basis of life, it was not only used by trees. Many marine organisms have learned to construct from CO2 dissolved in water and calcium their shells and shells, and as these shells were deposited at the bottom of the ocean as they died, this CO2 was taken out of circulation.

When you're told that CO2 is a poison, a pollutant and a toxic substance, that's not true. It is an essential substance for the biosphere, which was in dire straits because the biosphere nearly killed itself. And after man began to return this substance to the biosphere, what Matt Ridley fortunately put forth is not Global Warming, but Global Greening.

that doesn't mean anything. nature has always been chaotic and it was pretty normal back then for half of all life to die. the concern about global warming comes from the fact that there will be less farming and food because even the most developed countries rely solely on rain and sun and vast amount of land for food not to mention the long inefficient process it takes to turn farmed food into a product you buy from your local supermarket to eat.
glaciation will happen anyway and if we don't stop using 10 000 years old farming methods because they are cheaper, a lot of humans will die

The Earth's climate is a non-linear dynamic system that depends on many factors and is constantly changing. The only constant feature of the climate is its change. There were periods when the Earth was frozen, and there were periods when it was possible to grow tomatoes at the pole. Moreover, there were periods in the world history of humankind when it was warmer than it is now. These were the Golocene Climate Optimum (7-3 thousand years BC) and the Warm Roman Period (I century BC - III century AD). In the medieval Warm Period (IX-XIII centuries BC) was as or almost as warm as it is now.
All these warm periods were characterized by one detail that is often forgotten to remind us. Specifically, when it gets warmer on Earth, this warming concerns primarily the medium and high latitudes, and not summer but winter temperatures. That was very well articulated by Freeman Dyson. "It doesn't warm where it's warm, it warms where it's cold."

The problem with climate change isn't how the planet will become, it's how fast it will become that way. Yes, life can thrive with 20x as much CO2, but only if that change happens over millions of years so that species and populations get a change to adapt. If everything happens at once, which is what anthropological climate change is doing, there will be hell to pay. Most species will go extinct, tens or hundreds of millions of humans will die. Trillions of dollars will be lost and society may entirely collapse, as whole cities or even countries become uninhabitable and their entire populations turn refugees and flood the remaining areas. As some of those areas start shutting borders, World War 3 may start and nukes may come flying.

Back in the Cambrian the concentration of CO2 was saturating, so adding more CO2 didn't influence temperature. Whether or not it's saturating depends on the other bajillion things that influence the climate. With the way things are today the scientific consensus is that adding more CO2 in today's climate will have a large impact on the climate.

When the IPCC was created in 1991, it had to answer three questions.
First: Is the world temperature rising?
Second: is this increase predominantly anthropogenic, that is, caused by human activity?
And three: is it harmful?
The IPCC was becoming a powerful tool to regulate the world, and the scientists who supported it would only get unlimited access to grants if all three questions were answered positively.
If at least one of the answers was negative, both grants and impact would be over.

When she tells you the truth, she doesn't tell the whole truth.

The irony here is that you are the one leaving out pertinent information. Current sea level rise is more rapid than in the past and is accelerating. Sea level in the past rose and fell according to the cycle of glacial and interglacial periods, so according to that cycle sea level should be peaking and eventually falling, but instead it's rapidly rising above the peak. This is similar to the temperature itself, which should be slowly falling but is instead rapidly rising on top of interglacial warming from 10000 years ago. So your claim that this is something humanity has encountered before is simply false.

What you never seem to understand is that these periods took many thousands or millions of years to develop. So life was able to adapt. Current warming on the other hand is very rapid and that causes great harm to ecosystems. Rapid changes in climate are often accompanied by mass extinctions.

That's great but current warming warms the entire Earth during both winter and summer. The problem with extrapolating from the past is that you have to be sure the causative factors and effects are the same.

Al Gore predicted in 2000 that the world would reach a point of no return in ten years. Two years later, the same Gore said that five years later the ice at the North Pole would melt. The Prince Charles of Wales said in 2009 that we have "96 months to save the world". Columbia University Professor James Hansen said in 1988 that by 2000 the West Side Highway, which runs in Manhattan parallel to the Hudson, "will be under water" (the West Side Highway will be under water). And the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said in 2005 that the world would see 50 million climate refugees in 2010. They even published a detailed map showing exactly where the poor will run away from. In 2010, it turned out that the population in the areas to be depopulated had only increased, and the UN in Orwellian style erased the link.
The failure of these predictions did not stop anyone. We continue to predict droughts and floods, typhoons and hurricanes, we predict that by the end of the century 400 million people will be underwater, that the Sahara will expand and turn the Sahel into a desert adjacent to it, that frozen methane will be released from the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, and that the Earth will turn into Venus, that there will be a star Wormwood and riders in hyacinth armour on horses with snake tails, and that there will be an earthquake.

The only reliably observed effect of the increase in CO2 concentration at the moment is greening of the planet. Since 1981, three quarters of the planet has become much greener and yields have increased by 95 percent, making a clear contribution to the fight against hunger. As Beijing's Professor Zaichong Zhu notes, it is as if a new green continent, the size of two USA, had appeared on Earth.
I recommend you an article by Zhu himself in Nature, data from NASA or, for example, a recent article from 2019 in Nature Chen et al, which is written on a specific Newspeak of " warmers" and therefore called "Vegetation structural change since 1981 significantly enhanced the terrestrial carbon sink". IMHO, this is an absolutely beautiful name, because, think about it: in what parallel universe live people who can not write the word "trees" and call the greenery of the planet "significantly enhanced the terrestrial carbon sink".
One more time. When someone tells you that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere will increase, and we all boil like in a pressure cooker, ask the person who is speaking to explain how it happened that we all did not boil in this pressure cooker 500 million years ago in Cambria, when the CO2 in the air was 20 times higher.

The primary way to CO2 emissions is with a cap and trade system (see Kyoto protocol) or a carbon tax (see switzerland).

It is just a short term tax that automatically phases itself out. It will hurt during the transitioning period but as more people invest in reducing their CO2 output the amount of tax people pay will shrink over time. If you buy an electric car and drive 20000km per year in Germany you would save around 100€ per month. If you change your electricity provider to only use 100% renewables you can further reduce your bill.

The solution to energy storage requires temporary investments into natural gas power plants. Yes, all the coal worker can now switch to natural gas to keep their jobs until they retire. Renewable power follows a normal distribution. If you have an average of 30% renewables then your average day will have 50% renewables. Extremely low output say 10% may happen but the probability of that happening gets lower and lower the more extreme it is. That means that on around 10 days per year you may only have 20% renewable power output. The shortfall can be covered with natural gas which is load following unlike coal. This means 90% of the time renewables are enough and you may need natural gas during extreme events.

Why are natural gas plants more desirable than coal? They produce less emissions per kWh. They are less expensive to build. (remember they must stay idle most of the time so they can't be expensive). Coal plants can only throttle their output to 75% of their maximum production capacity. Natural gas plants can throttle arbitrarily. Finally the key ingredient. Natural gas is more expensive than renewables per kWh. This means if renewables are available they will be prioritized and natural gas plants will be shut down. Coal plants? They would keep running and clog the grid.

>Columbia University Professor James Hansen said in 1988 that by 2000 the West Side Highway, which runs in Manhattan parallel to the Hudson, "will be under water" (the West Side Highway will be under water).
Incorrect. He said that if CO2 doubled this would occur. CO2 will be doubled around 2030 if current trends continue.

>And the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said in 2005 that the world would see 50 million climate refugees in 2010.
They said 50 million environmental refugees, not climate refugees. Climate change is only one factor affecting environmental refugees. Here is the research this prediction was based on: https://www.osce.org/eea/14851

You just completely destroyed your credibility with an outrageous lie. Ocean acidification is reliably observable. Warming from CO2 emissions is reliably observable: http://asl.umbc.edu/pub/chepplew/journals/nature14240_v519_Feldman_CO2.pdf

>When someone tells you that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere will increase
This is also reliably observable. If increased vegetation creates a sink that makes up for increased emissions, why is CO2 concentration increasing? Hint: because the sink is too small to counter our emissions.

>ask the person who is speaking to explain how it happened that we all did not boil in this pressure cooker 500 million years ago in Cambria, when the CO2 in the air was 20 times higher.
Because we did not exist, you massive retard. 500 million years ago, all land was barren. Doesn't that sound great? What did exist was in the oceans and had millions of years to evolve in and adapt to their environment. How do you still not understand this?

>A schematic (non-quantitative) curve was used to represent temperature variations over the last 1000 years in chapter 7. The vertical temperature scale was labelled as "Temperature change (°C)" but no numerical labels were given; it could be taken to imply that temperature variations of the MWP and LIA were each of the order of 0.5 °C from the temperature around 1900. The section specifically states recent climate changes were in a range of probably less than 2 °C. The 1990 report noted that it was not clear 'whether all the fluctuations indicated were truly global. However, large regional changes in hydrological conditions have occurred, particularly in the tropics. Wetter conditions in the Sahara from 12 000 to 4,000 years BP enabled cultural groups to survive by hunting and fishing '(p 202). The graph 7.1 (p.202) picture is about global temperature in IPCC FAR; those publications have no explicit calibration against instrumental data, [and are] just Lamb’s qualitative judgement and interpretation of what he refers to as the ‘evidence’ [1]), and disappeared from the 1992 supplementary report.

The ocean has taken the majority of the impact when it comes to the addition of anthropogenic CO2 but out activities have caused its ability to uptake and transport CO2 into the deep ocean to be diminished.

Yes, especially considering we'd have several decades to do so, you underestimate how fast people can build infrastructure if they really want to.

But even if the timeframe was too short, you could first do it netherland style and build dams and water pumps to keep water outside of the harbor cities. As for greenhouses, many farms already build them just to extend their growing season. If that's not enough, most people can build their own climate controlled greenhouse in their own backyard to feed themselves just in case.

It's hilarious how all car designers are struggling with the front grille now that it's useless. I haven't seen a single electric car that handles it in a sensible way.

If you understood how stupid you just sounded, you wouldn't have said that.

Look at it in Kelvin. Temperature of the Earth is about 252 degrees Kelvin (which is about 15 degrees below 0*C). The other 30 degrees comes from trapping heat in the atmosphere for a total of about 283 degrees Kelvin. The rise in temperature has been only been about 1.5 degrees in the last century. When compared to the total solar output of 252 degrees K this is hardly anything at all. However this small amount of change will thaw icecaps and glaciers, increase desertification, and disrupt our way of life.

You prove again and again that you are uneducated. Why not listen to the experts instead of pushing your uneducated agenda?

0.00007mg of botox can kill a fully grown adult male you utter retard. "it's a small number compared to the overall amount" is absolutely not an argument against the negatives of CO2.
