Once again, let me point out that only about 30 years ago or so, when they were predicting another Ice Age, there was a serious proposal to cover the polar ice caps with lamp black!I just don’t have the data basis to have a founded opinion on global warming and CO2 efflugence caused by humans other than to say that that proposed models seem to make more sense as an explanation than mammoth flatulence, for example.
We are living inescapably in the lab in which we are performing the experiment and may pay dearly (and fatally) if our assumptions are incorrect. There is no absolute proof that smoking causes cancer or that snake venom will kill me but I am unwilling to experiment with either on my own body in presumption of a negative finding.
Developing technology to mitigate the massive CO2 emissions currently being produced seems to me from my limited perspective not without merit.
Aren’t you glad we didn’t rush into that, but waited until we had better information?
