wow. you need to recognize how many assumptions you are making here.Sorry if i may of offened you that wasn't the intention. Im open minded. Im not saying it gonna happen, its a possibility you cant deny it. The main worry i think is if we kill off the ocean, when they die, we do. In reponse to plants getting bigger, the main souce of Oxygen comes from the oceans and mostly from algae which produces 330 Billion tons of Oxygen per year. So i dont think anything on land could help if the oceans become stagnant. This i do believe has happened before and has been the cause of mass extinction. Could what we're doing by not keeping emmision down affect the oceans? Maybe? I dont know. Is it a risk we want to take? It probably will happen no matter what we do but that time frame might be reduced significantly. It could be 100 years, 1000, or 10000 who knows. All im saying, why not reduce emmision, what harm will it do? and it won't effect us that much if at all. All you have to do is vote with your feet, mind we are controlled by the nanny state.
burning fossil fuels do NOTHING to the oceans. worse case scenerio, the frozen ice caps melt and raise water levels 20 centimeters. (that's from the I.P.C.C.) if that were the case, ocean life would be more plentiful. it is land mass that will have shrunk.
100 years? 1,000 or 10,000 years? this is quite a big margine of error. how can you seriously worry about what will happen hundreds or thousands of years in the future. ask yourself: could someone living in 1908 understand or be able to help us today? of course not. 100 years makes an enormous difference in technology and science.
once again, the ONLY thing of interest to us today is POLUTION. it is wrong to leave a planet to our children dirtier then we received it. so clean up polution and switch to cleaner energy solutions as they become economically sound.
no one argue this point. what most people fail to understand is: CO2 is not a polutant. it is a natural, NECESSARY gas on this planet. and there is NO EVIDENCE that raising CO2 levels on the planet is dangerous for life. the entire case against it as a catastrophic greenhouse gas is based on computer models. yes, it is a greenhouse gas. no, it alone cannot raise temperatures up to crisis levels.
