So I guess the computer must be wrong. I'm pretty sure you can find other computer models that show that the Earth is warming so who's correct? Follow the money and you will know who has the most to lose. But to say for sure either way would be a crap shoot. Regardless, we should do our best to preserve and protect, within reason.
Models built with the intent of satisfying a political agenda are not likely to be correct.

Isnt it obvious?

The constant and repetitive posting of clearly debunked BS in here points to it being deliberate and trollish.

The Jurassic epoch lasted about 56 million years, and CO2 levels varied within. Most Jurassic life was in the oceans. There were dinosaurs and a lot of plant life at times during the Jurassic - but mostly the early parts of the Jurassic - when temperatures were quite warm.
Instead of just thinking about what the CO2 levels were, consider what a change in CO2 levels does. The following chart correlates changes in CO2 levels with major extinction events. While there was plenty of life during the Jurassic, it was not the same life that existed in previous epochs. New forms of life supplanted the old.
There is a pretty good argument that all of the major extinction events are associated with changes in atmospheric CO2, even the KT extinction event. The causes of the changes in CO2 levels may differ. For example, flood basalt events are likely candidates for causing the levels to rise during the Permian Extinction event, and a giant meteor is believed to have caused the KT extinction event.
To many, including myself, there is no question that fossil-fuel usage had led to an increase in atmospheric CO2 in our own time, and that our climate is changing as a result. In a time when the climate should be cooling, it gets hotter every year. That, coupled with habitat encroachment, is causing a new holocene extinction event.

That's cute, you're trying to appeal to nutter reason and logic. That's how we lost the last election.

I know you are right. There are some posters whom I have blocked, so I rarely see their posts and I almost never respond to them. They don't respond to fact or logic. In this case though, I responded to Espola. I don't think he and I are politically sympatico, but I don't think he is a jackass, at least in response to my prior posts. Plus, he and I seem to share an interest in military history.

Rest assured, Co2 will come down as the earth cools, and the earth will cool again,....not that it matters that much.

You and espola are politically "sympatico".
You can take that to the bank.
Looks like the number of extinction events have gone down as the earth's C02 levels have dropped. (according to this chart)
