Elevated CO2 from fossil carbon stores (coal/oil etc) is evil. That isn't the same as C02 already in the biosphere.


Lets be precise here: The CO2 from fossil carbon stores is chemically speaking exactly like other C02.

That said, increasing the concentration might not be smart anyways, -I don't know, at this point I'm not really sure. (I used to be very skeptic, now I'm starting to think it might be correct and the proponents just don't get PR.)


>> Lets be precise here:

Do you or do you not believe in the link between the burning of fossil fuels and climate change? If you do not, I am not going to get into a theological debate with a believer.

?

It matters nothing for the chemical properties of CO2.

I am very much a believer, and for technical stuff I believe in experiments, measurements etc : )
