Perspective
This graph spans some 450k yrs. Shouldn't we be much more concerned about adaptation as opposed to control? I am not saying that we should ignore our part in the equation but that we should realize that it is likely not the most important part.
I mean shouldn't we be building desalination plants and water pipelines instead of refineries and oil pipelines? There just doesn't seem to be much effort at all with regard to adapting to climate change.

We can prove that there is an increase, and we can prove that the increase is due entirely to anthropogenic use of fossil fuels.
From the graph in Message 40 it looks like the spike in CO2 levels is almost routine. Every hundred thousand yrs or so.

Indisputable
So we know that the increase is due to fossil fuels.
My point is that the co2 levels were rising consistently for the last 15k yrs
or so without our help.
