Hey guize, I have a question about the CO2 global warming. So, ok, the Earh is getting warmer because we releasing a whole fuckton of CO2 in the air, and that traps heat. And the CO2 is being released from burning fossil fuels. And the fossil fuels are from decayed organic matter. But then, if they're decased organic matter, doesn't that mean that they used CO2 that was in the atmosphere before?
Like, all the coal is just very old trees. And the trees grew by taking CO2 out of the air. And all the oil is dead organism, that also received the carbon in their structure from somewhere and they couldn't have received it from anywhere else.
So, why wasn't CO2 a problem back then, when it was in the atmospehere, but CO2 is a problem now when we're returning it into the atmosphere?
I don't think you understand. If the fossil fuel CO2 used to be in the atmosphere, why is it a problem to put it back there?
Matthew Brown
A lot of it has to due with food production.
Ryan Richardson
If shit was in your gut before it came out, what's the problem with putting it back there?
Liam Peterson
>>So, why wasn't CO2 a problem back then Because we weren't around. You really, really wouldn't want eocene climate today.
Brandon Foster
THAT'S IT!??!?!?!?
A FEW DEGREES?!?!?!?
NIGGER, I'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT ANOTHER PLANET VENUS. NIGGER, ACID RAINS, NO LIFE EVER AGAIN, NO MORE SURFACE WATER, METING METAL, SHIT LIKE THAT!
Science! What the absolute fuck?

Did human civilization exist hundreds of millions of years ago? Did a population over 7 billion people and growing, with resource scarcity looming in the near future exist back then too? Did this same civilization that 70%+ of which lives within 100 miles of a coastline exist back then too?
You're extremely ignorant if you cannot see the implications of global warming on human civilization, not to mention the other organisms on this planet that have adapted to the conditions that have prevailed relatively stable over the past few hundred thousand / million years. We are inducing rapid climate changes on an unprecedented scale and it will have large ramifications on not only human civilization, but many ecosystems as well, which leads to positive feedbacks exacerbating the changes and causing more damage.

The Venus shit is hyperbole to scare brainlet into being more climate conscious. The real problems will come when certain types of microbes die off, oh and deserts where we used to have farms. Oh and some of the most dense population centers being flooded causing massive migration, wars over that, and wars over arable land. It will bad, not extinction level, but very bad. Society may regress over 200 years.
