Here's another couple indictments. How can you measure gasses in ice that melted away during warming periods? (Trick question; you can't) The muds don't melt at least.  How can you include CO2 output from underwater volcanoes you don't know about? Another trick question; you can't. Not Al, not anyone yet. What is the annual wordlwide output of CO2 and other gases from underwater volcanoes anyway? Which ones put out the most? The least? How variable are they? How old?
Meantime, we're screwing away treasure on the idea we can actually suck enough CO2 out to make a change on the assumptions that one variable is a ticket to ride in a complex system, while lounging in the cool comfort of central air conditioning plopped down in front of the big ol' plasma screen watching Al in HD & sucking a beer.

Turtle - You're arguing the politics, not the science.
If you want to have a discussion on the politics of it all, that's a good discussion to be had, but you should open a new thread to do so in the Social Sciences forum.
This is the Environmental studies forum, so your attack on the politics is not relevant, nor have you shown any data I posted inaccurate.
I thought this was a science forum after all...
