Sine this has now become a Real Science Usenet Group (RSUG), let me state that such is indeed the case. CO2 gets generated (by many different processes) and consumed (also by many different process). These cycles are more or less in equilibrium, so that the flux through all the ccles combined used to keep the CO2 concentration more or less the same. The question is whether our human generation of CO2 through burning of fossil fuel (not the only human process) is so great that it throws the equilibrium off. Many scientists say yes, a few no. Many here in this RSUG say no, some yes. Maybe my grandchildren will later on be able to answer for sure, in hindsight.
Now for a different aspect of climate. It has been said that recent great earth quakes (China, Haiti, Chile) have altered the stance of the earth's axis. Did this increase the expected severity of winters and summers?
