still denying global warming?

Guess Steiny likes my comment! Yay! CO2 by itself that animals and human beings exhale is not a pollutant. The decaying plant matter gives off CO2. Not a pollutant. A person calling CO2 a pollutant is an idiot. We actually breathe in more pollutants around us, including particulates, with the air we breathe in but exhale clean CO2.

and the machines? that ain't a clean CO2 for sure....

We don't follow like system. :dunno:

Burning fossil fuels cause bad CO2 (pollution).

Any person who say CO2 from burning fossil fuels or machine are not pollutant is an idiot.
 
Sun's Magnetic Field to Reverse: What It Means

The sun's magnetic field, which spans the solar system, is just months away from flipping, observatory measurements show.

"This change will have ripple effects throughout the solar system," solar physicist Todd Hoeksema of Stanford University said in a statement.

Hoeksema is the director of Stanford's Wilcox Solar Observatory, one of just a few observatories around the world that monitors the sun's polar magnetic fields.

The sun's magnetic field changes polarity approximately every 11 years during the peak of each solar cycle as the sun's inner dynamo reorganizes itself.

This next reversal—which will be only the fourth observed since tracking began in 1976—will mark the midpoint of Solar Cycle 24.

During a magnetic field reversal, "the sun's polar magnetic fields weaken, go to zero and then emerge again with the opposite polarity," explained solar physicist Phil Scherrer, also at Stanford, in the statement.

Scientists are already seeing signs of the reversal happening, and this time there's a twist: Data from Wilcox show that the sun's two hemispheres are oddly out of sync, with the North Pole already beginning to change and the South Pole racing to catch up. That means that for now, at least, the sun effectively has two South Poles.

As the Earth orbits the sun, our planet dips in and out of the wavy current sheet, and the transitions can stir up stormy space weather around us.

The geometry of the current sheet can also affect Earth's exposure to cosmic rays, which are high-energy particles accelerated to the speed of light by supernova explosions and other violent events in the galaxy.

Cosmic rays pose a threat to astronauts and space probes, and some researchers say they might also affect the cloudiness and climate of Earth.

In the pictures starting on the left in a control study shows the size of one tree under ambient condition (outdoors, currently at around 390+ ppm) , another tree that was given an extra +150 ppm more CO2 concentration (i.e. ~540 ppm), another tree that was give an extra +300 ppm of CO2 concentration (~690 ppm), and the last one was given an extra +450 ppm CO2 concentration (~840 ppm).
- Woody Plants - Benefits of CO2 - Carbon Dioxide

When averaged together, these 176 individual woody plant experiments reveal a mean growth enhancement on the order of 50% for an approximate doubling of the air's CO2 content, which is about one and a half times as much as the response of non-woody herbaceous plants.

Doubling the CO2 concentration from 400 ppm to 800 ppm helped increase plant growth 50%.

CO2 by itself (and not mixed with other emission compounds such as emissions) is not a pollutant. Plants love it when CO2 concentration gets higher and grow like crazy (along with proper water and nutrients). We exhale CO2 all the time, plants love it and in return respire oxygen that we enjoy. Nice trade off.
 
It means grass will growing fast and we have to mow frequently?
 
Also, to add CO2 as plant fertilizer:
[1] Satellite observations reveal a greening of the globe over recent decades. The role in this greening of the “CO2 fertilization” effect—the enhancement of photosynthesis due to rising CO2 levels—is yet to be established. The direct CO2 effect on vegetation should be most clearly expressed in warm, arid environments where water is the dominant limit to vegetation growth. Using gas exchange theory, we predict that the 14% increase in atmospheric CO2 (1982–2010) led to a 5 to 10% increase in green foliage cover in warm, arid environments. Satellite observations, analyzed to remove the effect of variations in precipitation, show that cover across these environments has increased by 11%. Our results confirm that the anticipated CO2 fertilization effect is occurring alongside ongoing anthropogenic perturbations to the carbon cycle and that the fertilization effect is now a significant land surface process.

Again, plants love higher CO2 concentration.

There you go folks. CO2 is not harmful and is the lifeblood of plants. This is what helps sustain and improve our crop yields.
 
Even the deserts are greening as a result of higher CO2 concentration.

Deserts Are

Carbon dioxide has turned arid deserts green, according to satellite observations released in a new study. In a process called “CO2 fertilization,” the gas boosted green foliage in the world’s driest regions.

Using satellites that detected leaf coverage and mathematical modeling, the study conducted by Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and Australian National University, found that in arid regions of Australia, North America, the Middle East and Africa, CO2 fertilization increased foliage by 11 percent over nearly three decades.

Tell me again about this called "global warming" hypothesis even though the media have called it as a "global warming theory."

Sinking islands do exist but not as a result of rising ocean water. Many have used the Kirbati islands as a scapegoat example on the claim that higher CO2 concentration has led to a "drastic" rise in sea levels on susceptible islands in the Pacific Ocean causing them to lose land. In other words, rising sea water is "swamping these islands." (don't laugh...they think it's real and the Kiribati govt looking for ways to get more cash by making political (climate) hay out of it. A big myth by those who do not understand the mechanics of what is going on.

Here's the data from the National Tidal Facility (NTF) in Adelaide that shows monthly sea levels at Tuvulu just to give you an idea of how monthly ocean levels rise and fall continuously.
