Cold iron; how dare you, present FACTS in a debate about THEORY?
Actually, the oxygen level is "thought" to have been on the decline for the past million years or so.
Data from the same ice cores that "prove" changes in CO2 levels seem to "indicate"(?) a reduction in oxygen levels.
As oxygen levels drop, so does the density of the atmosphere, resulting in more solar radiation reaching the surface.
Scientists tell us that the mechanisims regulating the CO2/oxygen balance are not yet "fully" understood.
Back in the dark ages, we were taught that there is a symbiotic relationship between plant and animal life.
Animal life used to covert oxygen to CO2, plant life used to consume CO2 and produce oxygen, thus
maintaining a balance that allowed both to flourish.
Science now seems to have outgrown that "primitive superstition".
Never mind the fact that the human population incresed by 5,000,000,000 "units" in the last century.
Never mind the fact that man destroyed 50% of the worlds tropical forests during the 20th century.
Now we simply need to dispense with dissention of those who remain stuck in the past, like the following!
βThe effects of tropical deforestation on climate go well beyond carbon,β says Professor Deborah Lawrence, β[it] causes warming locally, regionally, and globally, and it changes rainfall by altering the movement of heat and water.β

Semper Fi.

Can anyone tell me what the percentage of CO2 is? Do you know its 0.03 percent, oxygen is 21%. It's low because every time it rains it gets removed from the air. The sad part is co2 is not a very good heat holder, but methane is 10 times better, so you should turn off your stove and furnace. Eat raw and put on a big coat, show me your tough...
Back when Barney the dinosaur lived it was WAY,WAY, HOTTER then today, and Barney lived for 150 million years until a big rock hit earth. Now understand, Barney did not drive a car or fly a plane! So, tell me where did all that heat come from? C*****e c****e is a sad joke.
