Members MsGuy Posted October 12, 2009 Members Posted October 12, 2009 Frankly I find it hard to take computer generated predictions of climate change too seriously when my weatherman still can't tell me whether it's going to rain next week. Evidence from the geological record is a lot more convincing. Turns out that the last time atmospheric CO2 hit 400 ppm, the earth shed it's ice caps, ocean levels were 80 to 130 feet higher than today & average temps 5 to 11F higher. Since we are due to hit 400 ppm sometime in the next decade and spike to over 500 ppm (before declining) even with substantial world wide anti-carbon measures, younger members of this board might want to consider buying their retirement property in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
