Nobody knows. Computer models don't even agree. Al Gore, of course, picks
the absolutely worst outcome and touts it as gospel, while the majority of
the models show the average increase in temperature following a very
steady and moderate rate. Personally, I'm in favor of a slight increase in
global temperature, and the benefits that will bring.

None so blind as those who will not see. What part of there being 3X as
much CO2 in the atmosphere as there ever has been in 650,000 years are you
not getting? You can stick your head back in the sand now.

The claim that there is "3X as much CO2 in the atmosphere as there
ever has been in 650,000 years" is wrong at best and a lie at the
worst.

"180 YEARS OF ATMOSPHERIC CO2 GAS ANALYSIS BY CHEMICAL METHODS"

"More than 90,000 accurate chemical analyses of CO2 in air since
1812 are summarised. The historic chemical data reveal that changes
in CO2 track changes in temperature, and therefore climate in
contrast to the simple, monotonically increasing CO2 trend depicted
in the post-1990 literature on climate-change.

Since 1812, the CO2 concentration in northern hemispheric air has
fluctuated exhibiting three high level maxima around 1825, 1857 and
1942 the latter showing more than 400 ppm. Between 1857 and 1958,
the Pettenkofer process was the standard analytical method for
determining atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and usually achieved
an accuracy better than 3%. These determinations were made by
several scientists of Nobel Prize level distinction.

Following Callendar (1938), modern climatologists have generally
ignored the historic determinations of CO2, despite the techniques
being standard text book procedures in several different
disciplines. Chemical methods were discredited as unreliable,
choosing only few which fit the assumption of a climate CO2
connection."
