    Then how do you know the CO2 concentration volumes from the Jurassic period?

    And definitely not if the world had to make that change over the course of 100 years as opposed to 65 MILLION.

    Which is better than having most of the Earth covered in ice like a Snowball...

    I ... guess? I mean, either scenario means mass extinction, so at that point there won't be really anyone left to care.

    Have you ever heard of the logical fallacy known as "false choice?"

    No one is saying that we have to choose between Jurassic Period or Ice Age.

    You said climatologists. Not climatologists, but Paleontologist, Geologist and Paleoclimatologists.

    And climatologists do not have access to the data from Paleontologists, Geologists, and Paleoclimatologists?

    Mass extinction? But the Jurassic period was just the opposite. Plants and animals flourished.

    But during the Jurassic period, plants and animals flourished. Snowball Earth? Not so much.

    ... You realize that I don't really care about the plants and animals, right? The whole point of this is to make sure the 'Human's' who live here, can continue to live here.

    Yeah? How many?

    Also, there were no polar ice caps in the Jurassic. Where do you think all that water is going ot go?

    Recent weather anomalies show very little scientific correlation and no cause and effect with global warming.

    That ecosystem of the Jurassic period doesn't exist at this point. We got the ecosystem we got now and it's dying.

    Stupid question. It would have to be supplied by a paleontologist. Climatologists do not study CO2 levels during the Jurassic.

    The natural state? The natural state is for it to fluctuate.

    I am not suggesting that the information from his statement is unknown.

    I am suggesting that the information from his statement is known and available to the climatologists who continue to warn us about the threat from the current climate change.
