    and when the CO2 levels drop thanks to those argue blooms absorbing large amounts of CO2 the temperature drops the argue blooms decrease and the life that desapired caused by the blooms return and they cycle starts over again
    what you liberal don't understand because you are so narrow minded trapped in your little global warming bubble the earth eco systems operates in cycles and those cycles are self regulating
    the earth eco system has been self regulating its self for billions of years long before humans ever showed up it knows what it is doing

    Back in the day, Earth had like hella volcanoes going off in stuff, and it put a lot of co2 into the atmosphere. Then like, plants, absorbing the "c" got, like, hella big.

    And you know what they did?

    They released a **** ton of o2 into the atmosphere.

    And you'll never guess what that made possible....

    In the meantime the temperature of the planet went up. And there were mass extinctions

    They self regulate all right but history has also shown that there have been mass extinctions in the past

    When you see statement followed by a hyperlink, you are aware that you can click on it and check the support for the statement?

    And then there is your google search bar, you can even look things up yourself!

    The world just keeps getting better and better!

    these global warming alarmist believe that life on earth is fragile and delicate that life on earth will disappear from the slightest change and they couldn't be more wrong
    Life on earth has been here billions of years not because it is fragile and delicate but because of the opposite it is tough and resilient
    changes in or environment on earth is one of the largest contributing factor to evolution if the environment never changes there would have been very little need for evolution it wouldn't have happened as much
    life evolved so to adapt to an ever changing environment and made life more resilient to those changes
    we as humans are here thanks to the ever changing environment

    I see what happened, there was a flurry of posts and it dropped back a page.

    Here you go:

    Rising CO^2 levels, improved conservation awareness and earth's natural processes seems to be handling it nicely.

    Earth's forests grew 9% in a new satellite survey .

    A 9% bump in total global forest coverage is two-thirds the size of the entire Amazon.

    http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/05/earths-forests-grew-9-new-satellite-survey

    Europe and South America lost some ground, everywhere else gained, Africa and Asia especially, but also North America and Oceana.

    We need to keep after it!

    Mass extinctions associate with cooling or warming? I think cooling is much more associated with a decline in life on the planet than warming. Warming is strongly associate with a great increase in life. Well, unless there a comet strike or supervolcano or something like that.

    Go right ahead. Pay them $1000 a tree to not cut it down.

    And no. In no way, shape, or form is that carbon trading. You should read up on that and learn what it is before commenting on it.

    Asteroids/rocks have killed off far more then we have. We grew from the Earth, and we can shoot rocks. We ARE Earth.

    caused by forces we have no control over like a meteorite hit which no amount of global warming hysteria would ever prevent

    Only one maybe two were asteroids the rest were climate changes due to volcanoes, Milankovitch cycles etc

    One was when all the continents drifted together and created a huge ocean. It froze the planet.

    Why is this an either/or? Why aren't we doing both? In addition we need to be working on carbon trapping technologies. Also its going to be hard to regreen the planet with an expanding population that requires more and more living area and farmland. Thats why the Amazon rainforest is being chopped down.

    Go argue with NASA. I think that's right up your AGW alley.

    https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2436/co2-is-making-earth-greenerfor-now/

    Clearly, there has been no warming for the last 15 years.

    You may want to take another look at the Northeast. Yes it was clear cut 100 years ago but it has been regrown. There is much more forest in the NE today than there was 100 years ago.

    "
    Although the feat has yet to be certified by Guinness World Records, Indian officials have reported that volunteers planted a whopping 49.3 million tree saplings on July 11, blowing past the previous record for most trees planted in a single day.

    That record, a mere 847,275 trees, was set by Pakistan in 2013.

    A reported 800,000 volunteers from Uttar Pradesh worked for 24 hours planting 80 different species of trees along roads, railways, and on public land. The saplings were raised on local nurseries."

    The third world "gets it". They just feel disempowered often to do anything about it
