Carbon Dioxide
Not by Fire but by Ice THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW! |
Carbon dioxide
If today's rising carbon dioxide are caused by humans, then what caused the dramatic rise
in
CO2 levels at the dinosaur extinction?
Research
shows that there was "a sudden and dramatic rise" in carbon
dioxide in the Earth's
atmosphere at the dinosaur extinction of 65
million years ago. A recent report attributes the rise
in CO2 levels
to an asteroid impact.

I
disagree. I think today's rise in CO2 levels can be attributed to our
warming oceans. After all,
the oceans are known as a carbon dioxide
"sink," especially when the water is cold.
But
as the water warms up, it releases CO2 into the atmosphere. This
happens in much the
same way that a warm bottle of home-brewed root
beer will release CO2. And if you give
that CO2 no way to escape, the
bottle will explode.
We've got it backwards. We've got cause and effect in reverse.
The
CO2 is not causing global warming. Instead, our warming oceans are
releasing CO2
into the atmosphere.
It's not global warming, it's ocean warming, and it's leading us into an ice age.
