Based on what I have read that is actually backward. I have read that co2 cjanges tend to follow after the temperarure change. There is a correlation, but the historical pattern based on ice core samples seems to indicate tjat when temperatures rise co2 levels follow and begin to rise and when temperatures begin to cool co2 levels also begin to go down.

In the 1800s tjere was a major volcanic erruption that led to a couple years of much cooler than normal temperatures. The eruption released a large quantity of co2, which then diminished as temperatures fell. Based on the hisorical pattern that does not appear to be unusial.

The more interesting question is why is anyone afraid of the earths temperature raisinf by a defree or two celcius. The earth has been warmer before.

You go right ahead and clean up after yourself if makes you feel better. I don't mind. I appreciate you're not dumping trash and sewage. Nor do I. But, I'm not falling for junk science, either.

Humans have existed, including in most primitive forms, for only 300,000 years. But the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. What the climate change hysterics fail to address is what caused the earth to go through long, repeated cycles of getting hotter, then colder, for 4.5 billion years! And it has gone through these global warming and cooling cycles when there were no human activities to influence it. No cars, no coal mines, no oil production, factories, no excessive burning of anything! The CO2 narrative falls flat when examined against this long-term science.

What we do know is that the sun goes through long periodic cycles of changes in solar eruptions that affect life on Earth. And the Earth's orbit around the sun is not circular, but elliptical. And the Earth's inclination is changing over time, as is the movement of the magnetic poles, which appear to be trending towards reversing again. Who's looking at these natural cycles?

Notably also, when the Earth gets warmer, vegetation increases. When vegetation increases, plants absorb more CO2 and emit more oxygen--which is very good for humans and all other living creatures. I look forward to a warmer Earth, and only worry about a colder Earth. I can adapt to warmth but cannot survive freezing, particularly in the absence of fuel.

Scientists should be spending more time studying the natural cycles of the sun and Earth instead of jumping to a fixation on CO2 produced by humans. But, since political decisions drive granting money only to studies that support the CO2 narrative, we will wind up chasing our tails until we bankrupt ourselves and have to revert to primitive living conditions.

The percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is currently 0.04%. Should the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere ever drop below 0.03%, life on Earth would become extinct due to the demise of plant life. By the way, the largest source of CO2 in the atmosphere comes from the oceans (there are quite a few organisms living in them).

Water vapor in the air is a far larger contributor to elevated temperatures for as the energy rays pass into the atmosphere, they strike the moisture causing it to warm. Because the specific heat of air is 0.244 and the specific heat of liquid water is 1.0 (0.47 for water vapor with 970.2 Btuh per pound to change state from liquid to vapor), the moisture in the air contains much more heat energy than the air alone.

But, hey....there are no fortunes to be made on "water vapor cap and trade" as there is in "carbon cap and trade" in which investors can buy and sell carbon credits as an industry will need to purchase when they need more credits for their production from other industries that may have a surplus. This is why Wall Street is heavily investing in political contributions and lobbying.
