“An increase in low cloud cover of only about 1% could largely compensate for the doubling of CO2.” – van Wijngaarden & Happer, 2025

Its not CO2
Its the sun, its variable magnetic field and solar wind modulating cosmic rays, which modulates cloud cover, abracadabra, climate.

This is all unpredictable stuff. I don’t believe anyones predictions. But clearly CO2 has been much higher (double or more) in the recent geological history. Its not incompatible with human life.

Not only is it not incompatible with life, it is necessary for life.
It's plant food. Plants consume it.
Do you know how greenhouse operators increase their yield of flowers, strawberries, tomatoes or whatever?
They pump extra CO2 Into their structures.
It's basic 10th grade biology.
Dammit, people are so gullible and stupid.

I wouldn’t rely on the idea that significantly changing the earths atmosphere will be innocuous or beneficial. But Im aware of all those things.

Yep, and in non-recent history, over 100 million years ago, the Earth had a far higher concentration of CO2 than anything we can achieve due to higher degrees of volcanism, there still wasn't a run away green house effect.

You have just been fined $100 for using .00000000001 watts for posting that.

it was proven decades ago that CO2 can only increase air temperature up to about 2-3 degrees C. After that the atmosphere is saturated and dumping more into it has no effect on temperature. this was the basis of the "runaway greenhouse effect" that launched the entire man-made made global warming concept to begin with. This was clear in data since 1998.
