Do increasing levels of co2 increase the Global temperatures?
Mostly, no. If you look closely at the charts made from ice core samples, the temps rise before the co2 increase. But again we don't have reliable data. Does anybody know if co2 escapes from the ice over 1,000 years? Does anybody know how many years over the last million or so that no ice has formed because it was too warm?
That's the thing about ice cores, if you have 1,000 years that it didn't get cold you have no data for that 1,000 years. And you probably lost at least that many other years due to the surface melting and or evaporating.
My observation is this, parts of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado have been under the sea several times. Take a drive up Rt 141 through the Unaweep canyon and visit Colorado National Monument for a great geological lesson. You can see the white bands of rock that were the sea floor. They currently sit around 4,500 feet above sea level. We didn't cause that. The earth has never stopped changing and no organism that was here when it started is still here in the same form.
The earth will continue to change and the humans that survive the longest are the ones that are willing to change with it.
And a million years ago the earth wasn't inhabited with 7.8B.
