Re: Climate Change - The "tipping point"

Its all rhetoric - everyone seems to be a sensationalist nowadays -especially when there is money involved.
It is certain that earths climate is changing - it has always changed and always will - there are cycles that our planet goes through and there are cycles that the solar system imposes on earth and affects the weather systems.

What I cannot understand is why people cannot apply simple logic to a fundamental misconception regarding the role of CO2 and anthropogenic causality.

Our atmosphere contains approx 0.035% CO2
of that we contribute roughly 1-2%
Using 2% contribution from humans - the other 98% of co2 production is natural!
This equates to 0.00007% of total atmospheric CO2 attributed to humans.
if we reduce anthropogenic co2 by 20% then the total would be reduced by 0.000014%.
Just looking at these figures prompts questions like is our reducing co2 emissions really going to have any effect at all especially when the oceans which act like a gigantic buffer alters the co2 content of the atmosphere continually irrespective of whether a volcano erupts or we all rev our 4x4 engines in unison worldwide.

Natural variance of co2 alone negates any human impact whatsoever - just observe levels of CO2 throughout the earths history.

What industry should be actively doing is protecting the environment from real industrial waste pollutants damaging sea and irreversibly effecting its flora and fauna so as not to impair the way the sea performs as a buffer.
The rainforest's need protecting from deforestation that feeds our demand for timber and intensively farmed crops and livestock.

If that is not enough then what about the role of water in our atmosphere!
Water is totally unpredictable and is often not included in climate models simply because of the infinite complexity that it brings to the model.
water vapour and suspension (clouds) perform differently - clouds reflect the suns rays back out to space, they also reflect heat back towards the earth they also emit IR radiation in all directions. Water vapour emits IR also and in hugely greater amounts than CO2.
Atmospheric concentrations vary wildly and can change almost instantly.
Atmospheric water vapour acts as a greenhouse gas and when considering the the meagre affects that are exerted by co2 in comparison it could justifiably be asserted that the effects of anthropogenic CO2 can certainly be negated.
Indeed the whole impact of CO2 could be justifiably be negated when the effects of water on our atmosphere are taken into account.

Instead we have to listen to the sensationalised media babble that manipulates and controls us through fear.

CO2 is simply necessary for life.
