So, what is missing in your comments above is that you assume an
open-loop system. Earth is not open-loop. Additional CO2 improves plant
health, increased plant health and density uses up more CO2, causing CO2 to
decrease in a closed-loop system that is far from understood.


Agriculture, silviculture and deforestation more than offset any
increase in growth rate of the surviving plants.


The impact
of the bodies of water covering over 3/4 of the earth's surface are also
not understood.


Increased turbidity decreases the ocean life that fixes carbon in the
oceans.


Are you suggesting that increased turbidity is caused by increased CO2
in the atmosphere?


No. It is caused by development. The same
development that reduces habitat available for
plant growth.


So, what we have is pure conjecture, whipped up into near hysteria over
predictions of cataclysmic events with little true evidence to back up
even the basic conjecture.


The law of conservation of energy is far from conjecture.


How, exactly, does that apply?


If the energy absorbed by a body, plus the energy
produced internally, equals the amount of energy
lost by that body, the temperature of that body remains
constant. Otherwise, it changes.
