I agree with you there but the CO2 trend actually goes back 8000 years
and tracks population growth as closely as any other metric.

As I say, the upcoming thermonuclear war when the western economies
fail will fix all of that.
It will be damned cold here for a few hundred years. We may even have
glaciers coming down across Canada and Western Europe again.

How do you expect that nuclear war to start? Do you expect us to
attack China, or China to attack us? Or will Europe come after us? Or
will it be a country like Pakistan?

I think we are going to be so economically stressed that we will have
to cut back on our foreign military adventures and stop being the
middle east policeman.
A war will start over there that will quickly go nuclear, the rest of
the world will be sucked in to try and stop it and there you go.
Where does it start?
There are already 3 known nuclear powers in that area and perhaps a
couple more knocking on the door. Who know if there are any Soviet
weapons on the market that could pop up anywhere. .
Take your pick.


In real life, it won't take many "nuclear volcanos" to turn back the
global warming clock. Compared to even the most crude devices we have
now, Nagasaki was just a firecracker. We also knew enough to do air
bursts in Japan. I wouldn't count on the current bunch of up and
coming nuclear powers to be that sophisticated. Ground bursts are a
whole lot dirtier.



The only way to prevent a nuclear war among other countries, such as Pak.
and India is to be involved. We don't need to be the policeman, but we do
need to be a fair arbiter of the truth.
