re: #330 groovimus

Wow, an abiotic oil freak. Who’d have guessed it. And someone who thinks Soviet scientists were really onto something. A fan of Lysenkoism as well?

Even if hydrocarbons were a renewable resource, it’s moot; AGW would still be occurring.

Please answer these very simple questions:

1. Does CO2 added to the atmosphere cause more heat to be trapped? So, starting with the atmosphere as it is right now, if you add CO2, will more heat be trapped?

2. Has mankind, mainly through the burning of hydrocarbons but also through other sources, added large amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere? Please note that the amounts of CO2 necessary to increase warning are not a large percentage of the total atmosphere.

3. It seems you’re denying that the earth has warmed at all. Given that all independent sources— every scientific body on earth that studies the climate, every nation, and every instrument and other temperature record— shows warming, can you please explain your denial? Do you seriously believe that there’s a conspiracy that involves 99.9% of all climatologists on earth, and every national government?
