Right and didn't all these happen before the industrial revolution? Like I said the earth has been warming for quite some time. I'm just wondering if we have any real numbers for the last hundred years.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Yeah, there are lighthouses that are now further inland and several that had to be moved away from the encroaching water - much of that measurable in the last 50 years.

Bottom line, the measured CO2 content of the atmosphere is going up. monotonically. That value represents the sum of all the inputs to the atmosphere and all the processes that can pull CO2 out. We don't have to know what they all are to know that there isn't enough CO2 sinks to compensate for what is being put into the atmosphere.
So it is not enough.

Oh, so you just mean it isn't enough to balance the net rate right now. Not that it can't/won't be enough ever. At the very least, once there are no more fossil fuels (or alternatives become more economical than fossil fuels), then the input goes away, and the sinks would make the atmospheric CO2 decline, right?

If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19
