[Terrapreta] CO2 rising

[Sean K. Barry]

Hi David, et. al.,

The ever increasing rate of increase is what is called an "exponential growth curve".  Exponential growth curves are very common in natural systems.

  not only is CO2 rising, but the rate of increase is increasing.  the CO2 graph is an upturning curve, not a flat line.  and we have entered the phase when the vertical component of the curve exceeds the horizontal -- the "knee" of the curve.

  also, as i have it, the first accurate scientific measurements of CO2 in earth's atmosphere were in 1898 (more or less?), taken in hawaii at a research station on the summit of mauna loa.

    Dance on me some more?

    Atmospheric CO2 levels are rising.  Does this need repeating?  I say, "Atmospheric levels are rising!".  Many , many people measure this and say the same thing.  I also say that it cannot be true that plants are taking up the excess CO2 in the atmosphere and at the same time "ATMOSPHERIC CO2 LEVELS ARE RISING!"

    Arrrrgh!   When you drink that much Koolaid kid, you are going to be pissing in the pool.
