I've also already explained to you why the natural sinks which remove CO2 from the air will continue to accelerate as long as CO2 levels continue to rise.

3/7. Natural CO2 removal mechanisms, which already remove at least (5.4 Gt CO2 / 2.1294 Gt/ppmv) = 2.5 ppmv/year, accelerate by an additional 1 ppmv/year for every 40-50 ppmv increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration.


That's a very powerful "negative feedback" which limits the rise in CO2 concentration, and ensures that the temperature increase will remain modest and benign.

We've also already covered that VPD red herring. Rising CO2 levels make plants more water-efficient and drought-hardy, and more resilient to "water vapor pressure deficit" (dryness).

5/7. Droughts used to be catastrophically destructive.

● Covid-19 killed ≈0.1% of world population.
● The 1918 flu pandemic killed ≈2%.
● WWII killed ≈2.7%.
● The global drought & famine of 1876-78 killed ≈3.7% of the world population, when CO2 level (determined from ice cores) averaged only about 289 ppmv (compared to the current 422 ppmv).

Thankfully that no longer happens, and the rising CO2 level is one of the main reasons for that extraordinary blessing.

Droughts still happen, of course, but elevated CO2 mitigates the adverse effects vapor pressure deficit (dryness) on plants. That's why the global greening trend is most pronounced in the driest regions, like the Sahel.

7/7. To understand a politicized topic like #ClimateChange, you need balanced information. I'm here to help:


That resource list has:
● accurate introductory climatology information
● in-depth science from both  skeptics & alarmists
● links to balanced debates between experts on both  sides
● accurate information about impacts of CO2 & climate change, such as the effects on crop yields
● links to the best blogs on both  sides of the climate debatesealevel.info/learnmore.html…
