By Jenny Goldie, published 7/10/2013

Yet, as Professor Paul Ehrlich will note at a conference in Canberra next week, the more people there are, the more you need to expand food production.

"The C02 and AGW hypotheses are more than sufficiently supported, and we must begin decarbonizing to limit warming to 2 degree by 2100."

Typical argument by pronouncement; and regrettably comes from someone who otherwise seems reasonably sensible and well informed.

As part of your re-education research Ozymandias and King Knut as exemplars of the arrogance of humans who think they are important and powerful enough to control the weather.

You actually do believe this rubbish about that poor harmless plant food CO2 causing dangerous global warming don't you Luci?

Here is a suggestion. Write an explanation of why you believe it. Don't defer to authority, but try to understand & explain the theory.

If you put enough effort into trying to explain how CO2 can cause dangerous global warming, you will find you can't, & will ultimately understand it just can't happen.

Hell even the IPCC has backed away from all their fear mongering, & admitted there will be no dangerous warming this century. This is the first step in then getting the hell out of a dying cause, & looking for another scare they can use to rip off the west, to fund the dysfunctional societies of the world

I've already given up on the other climate thread trying to educate Hasbeen, who insists carbon dioxide is plant food, and who thinks he has a grasp of the IPCC technical report he obviously hasn't read.

Luciferase" It is hard to understand why Hasbeen and ilk, cannot or perhaps more likely, will not grasp AGW.
The reason has to be either because he ( and they) are getting a stipend from vested interests or they are genuinely unable to face the devastating facts of the ultimate results.
They continue to ignore the facts as they happen around the world and finish up with the ridiculous theory of a conspiracy of thousands of scientists from all over in a well crafted and choreographed performance to what end?
get more grants to add to their ill gotten gains?
This is so far fetched that the normal thinking person cannot understand what brings them to do it.
One day the penny will drop that they are out in fairy land and it is all in their minds.

We know CO2 is used in greenhouses to replenish levels depleted by photosythesizing plants. But what about plant growth out in the field? http://news.stanford.edu/news/2002/december11/jasperplots-124.html

dear oh dear most obviously are not old enough to remember the global cooling scare, the ozone oil scare, the peak oil scare. How many more failed predictions before the gullible wake up. The true scientist must be very frustrated.
