The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around 4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today, the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, & large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.

@NOAAClimate CO2 has nothing to do with the rise in temperature. It’s the rise in temperature due to natural warming that increases the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. It’s a cause and effect problem and NASA has it reversed.
@NOAAClimate Good thing CO2 doesn't drive temperature then. We don't need sea levels 75 ft higher than they are now.
@NOAAClimate Oh the humanity!! A 6.4% increase in a gas that constitutes 0.04% of the atmosphere. So we go from 0.04% to 0.0426% We're all gonna DIE!
@NOAAClimate The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is 0.04%, the amount due to humans is 0.0012%. This amount of CO2 will NEVER heat the Earth, EVER. According to the geological record, there is no relationship between CO2 levels and the Earth's temperature, even when 15x today's CO2 level:
Very surprised at the extremely poor science. The historical data are averages for a time interval. The recent data are data points. The historical time intervals are likely to have significant fluctuations in the data that wont be visible in the average for that time interval. The 2 cannot be combined meaningfully on the same graph. Blatantly ridiculous.
@NOAAClimate You just demonstrated that high CO2 levels don't cause corresponding temperature increases.
@NOAAClimate Thats great.. Now explain why the sea levels are not 75 foot higher... its because co2 isn't the only factor and u don't have a data set that covers the entire existence of the planet to be making good calls on 🤷♂️
@NOAAClimate So why isn't the sea level 75 feet higher now?
@NOAAClimate As the Earth greens, more forest will remove co2.
