      In your own dialogue you admit that there have been freezing and warming cycles before man. So natural systems can cause global warming?..only the gullible or those with agendas say CO2 is a problem. Sane scientists know it's not.

      0:04 greenhouse gases LOL and what are those. Certainly not carbon dioxide because it continued going up and we quit getting hotter for two decades straight so there is absolutely no correlation between carbon dioxide and temperature
      In the late '70s they said we were going into an ice age then we were having the greenhouse effect. Then it quit getting any hotter and now we're getting cold again. So please explain that his greenhouse effective record snows in the corner of a greenhouse

And I learned of the consequences of all those bacteria and all those trapped greenhouse gases getting suddenly released.

    I do not believe co2 released into the air from previously stored pockets is necessarily a bad thing.
    first is what our atmosphere is comprised of: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, with the remainder being EVERYTHING else including co2, water vapor, and methane. doing quick math tells that the everything else is 0.01% of our atmosphere.
    putting more co2 into the air may actually lead to more oxygen as plant matter converts it to oxygen. Just how volcanoes may cause a spurt of tree growth around them by blasting with co2 heavy gases. it leads to better growth
