Great News: CO2 Spike Is Actually ‘Good for Mankind!’

[...] OK READ THIS AND WATCH THE VIDEO AND SEE WHAT TRUTH YOU COME UP WITH [...]

The Holocene began 10,000 years ago according to wikipedia…CO2 levels are higher than at any time in the past 800,000 years, so he's already factually wrong on that count alone.

On top of that as you pointed out , if you go far back enough when CO2 *was* higher (not just-before-Holocene as he falsely claimed but say 40,000,000 years ago) then the world was not very human-friendly…little things like New Orleans and the southern half of Florida underwater, too, we might add.

On top of that, the RATE of change of CO2 is unprecedented. So when CO2 was higher, even though the places where many coastal cities are today were underwater, at least ocean acidify wasn't much worse because the CO2 changes were slow enough for natural systems to counterbalance. But now CO2 is increasing 50, 60, 75 times faster than at any time in the last million or so years:

“The “scary thing”, he added, was the rate of change now occurring in CO2 concentrations. In the core, the fastest increase seen was of the order of 30 parts per million (ppm) by volume over a period of roughly 1,000 years. “The last 30 ppm of increase has occurred in just 17 years. We really are in the situation where we don't have an analogue in our records”

Do that math. It was increasing about 60 times faster than the previous record fastest-ever in the previous 800,000 years, and that was 2006. In 2008 CO2 increased by 2.3 or so ppm, even faster rate. …which means the oceans won't adjust as they had in the past (http://www.realclimate.org/index.php?p=169 ) so we get ocean acidification.. for example see

Aside from the 40-foot snakes, do you really want to live in a tropical world?

“I don’t think the laws of nature or physics and chemistry has changed in 80 million years. 80 million years ago the Earth was a very prosperous palace and there is no reason to suddenly think it will become bad now.”

No question that the laws of physics and chemistry have not changed in 80 million years.
But the quote is is irrelevant for us humans. We were not around 80 million years ago so we know nothing about whether we could have survived in that environment.
Worse, it tell us nothing whether the current environment (us, plus all the species living with us at this time) would survive in a rapidly changing environment.
Chances are very high that many species would not make it; successful species are those who take the maximum advantage of its surrounding environment. When that environment changes their advantage disappears and the most successful before become unsuccessful and become extinct.

I cannot believe a scientist can ignore such subtleties that are central to the point he is trying to make. The earth will outlive us without any question; whether WE would be here (and if so, under what conditions) is what matters.
This is probably the product of an “(un)intentionally” (your choice) quotation to make a certain point.

80 million years ago dinosaurs ruled the earth; 80 million years ago mammals (our ancestors as WE ARE MAMMALS) were little bigger than rats. Over time, dinosaurs were gone although a few “survived” by morphing into birds, mammals became bigger and bigger, with several iterations of mammals appearing and becoming extinct in the process. Very late in that 80 million year period we showed up in the earth's landscape.

Thanks for you share the article.Good!

Thank you for your sharing.I'm very interested in it.

I like this article

Organic chemistry is a branch within chemistry which deals with the study of chemical compounds containing carbon; their formation, their processes, properties, reactions and structure. Formerly, it was popular belief that it was very difficult to artificially synthesize compounds from living organisms. When it was realized later, that even those compounds could be treated in ways similar to the inorganic ones, in laboratories and through artificial processes, organic chemistry gained momentum.

u r nice.
