Supposedly the effect of CO2 on the atmosphere is neither stable nor linear - the first extra 50ppm would have a very small effect, the next 25 also, but the 50 after *that* would cause a step change. A better analogy might be to compare to the engine in your car. If you put it in fourth gear, you have to be very careful pulling off, as you're likely to stall if you press the accelerator just a teensy bit too hard, but then suddenly, once you've got to a certain speed, pressing the accelerator just a teensy bit more gives a wonderful surge of power.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382255864661846735.post-4261573949551852592009-02-12T06:59:00.000+00:002009-02-12T06:59:00.000+00:00FB, keep an eye on the anti-green backlash re the ...FB, keep an eye on the anti-green backlash re the vicorian fires.

Well-put, sir, and quite a task we have. This will be quite an opportunity to witness a citizenry revolt, complete with torches and pitchforks.
