But since there's not that much there right now, you don'g get far trying to cool by removing co2. Imagine you are setting up a cupboard and realize it doesn't fit in your room bc the ceiling is too low. Then cutting off part of its legs would help, but if the legs are already short, you don't gain much. So you'd say the legs are too short to sufficiently shorten the cupboard.But of course making them longer wouldn't help but the opposite...(January 18, 2017 at 2:04 pm)Anomalocaris Wrote: Adding co2 to the atmosphere won't help address the co2 depletion problem. The co2 depletion problem comes about because the sun is gradually heating up, and to avoid being baked we need to reduce the level of co2 in the atmosphere to reduce the greenhouse effect. There is already very little co2 in the atmophere now, compared to geological historic average. Simply put, there is not enough co2 available to reduce. When all the co2 are gone, 1, photosynthesis will stop. 2, earth will heat up because we rank out of insulation to shed.
Adding co2 with car tail pipes don't help. You need to reduce insulation, not add more.
If there is too little co2, why doesn't adding more help? And it's not just car emission but human and animal respiration adds to the co2 as well.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
