22. Author: NMCmassive Date: Wed 20th Nov 2024. 22:19 Worth noting OP was correct about 440parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Plant life starts to die off at 350ppm. Complete die off at 150ppm. When the last ice age peaked 20,000 years ago carbon dioxide dropped to around 180ppm nearly sparking off another mass extinction. It’s hard to find an answer to how much is too much. Some articles will correlate between high carbon dioxide levels and previous mass extinction events - jurrasic-Triassic for example but I looked into the causes of a couple of them and the belief is that they were caused by super volcanoes. Carbon dioxide was at 6000-8000 ppm and there was no runaway greenhouse effect. We just ended up with lots of trees. More I’ve tried looking into it, the less worried I am about carbon dioxide. I honestly believe it’s just a grift. Plastics, petrochemicals, heavy metals IMO are much more of a concern. I wonder if it’s a bait and switch tbh 🤔 Wonder if Greta’s family has shares in DuPont or something 😂 COYP Reply |
