[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gurgeh: [QB] Fo2: I'm glad to see you keep an open mind, I know it's not easy to alter one's opinion like that. The whole issue is admittedly rather complicated, with a huge amount of factors playing a part, humans, volcanoes, forests, oceans, and animals. This should highlight the fact that Earth's biosphere is extremely complex and we should not shirk our duty in protecting it and minimizing our effect on the natural balances that exist, and have existed for hundreds of millions of years. Although the increase in CO2 caused by humans is accepted even by those against the Kyoto agreement ( [URL=http://www.sitewave.net/PPROJECT/pproject.htm]http://www.sitewave.net/PPROJECT/pproject.htm[/URL] ), the effect of this rise in CO2 levels is still in dispute. Many claim that all we are doing is reintroducing CO2 back to the atmosphere and that this is beneficial to the environment in that it has beneficial effects on plant growth rates. Indeed there are data that indicate that increased levels of CO2 do benefit plants. However, such a radical increase, ~30% in 150 years, is bad news in my opinion, considering the timescales over which the natural balances in the environment have developed. Coupled with the deforestation and pollution of the seas (and consequent loss of algae), which affect the biosphere's capacity to absorb CO2, we are looking at severe environmental disruption here.
