So far in 100 years, our puny activities have managed to increase the global atmospheric concentration of a trace gas by around 35%. Prior to that it had been in decline for about 500 miilion years.

How do you know?nobody has been bothering to measure for that long,and if taking a scientist word for please bare this in mind-fact a concept whose truth can be proved; "scientific hypotheses are not facts"
scientists are frustrated Artists, if they cant find the truth they make it up and most of the time they cant, so they do, and if they find a hole in the ground they decide that it must have once had a post in it, it then becomes a house, but really its just a hole in the ground maybe not even that!!
p.s its getting very windy here guys!! time to batten down the hatches,must be global warming.

The best argument for and against, is as follows:-
1) Global warming is a myth, and we do nothing.
Pats on the back all round, as we have spent nothing.
2) Global warming is a myth, and we spend billions on it.
We are all poorer, but the Planet is a lot cleaner.
3) Global warming is real, and we spend billions on it.
Congratulations You are poorer, but you have saved the Planet.
4) Global warming is real, and we do nothing.
The Planet will suffer, millions will die, our children will hate us for being so stupid and selfish.
Now make your choice.

tides coming in, I've stuck this little camera out my studio window, see if it works for you?

Blondini,
Increasing a trace gas by 35% still makes it a trace gas.
Also, CO2 is needed by plants to photosynthesise, a reduction of CO2 by 50% would kill every single plant on the planet.
Atmospheric water vapour has a colossal impact on planetary warming, why aren't you going on about cloud reduction?
Please, do a little research on the origins of the "Global Warming" scam, you'll find that they are all political, not environmental.

Agreed.
Agreed.
I think you're making that up.
Agreed. Did you know that increased temperature may enable the atmosphere to support more water vapour?
Please do a little research...
we'll still get a nice sunset
just had a power cut which knocked the camera off line so here a picture of sunset

Plants require require water, light and CO2 to photosynthesise.
The general formula for the process is:
CO2 + 2 H2O + photons → (CH2O)n + H2O + O2
(carbon dioxide + water + light energy → carbohydrate + oxygen + water)
If you remove, or significantly reduce any one of those items from the formula, the reaction doesn't happen.
Atmospheric levels of CO2 are generally between 360 and 390ppm.
Once levels drop below about 200ppm, plant growth is significantly stunted.
Depending on the type of plant, amount and wavelength of light, temperature and moisture levels, at 160ppm plants will not grow at all- i.e. die.
Industrial greenhouses (and serious gardeners) keep levels of CO2 at elevated levels, up to 1000ppm to accelerate plant growth. Even in vented greenhouses levels can drop below 200ppm during the day.
In this instance, the only research needed was O-Level Biology.

Therefore a reduction of 50% wouldn't kill every single plant on the planet.
