CO2 passes 400ppm threshold permanently

We need to exhale it to survive, it is a waste product to us. In high concentrations we cannot get rid of enough of it from our blood and is fatal. Remember Apollo 13 and the CO2 scrubber they needed to rig up or they would die?

Since you are such an expert, maybe you can tell us how many doublings of CO2 we need before it becomes toxic?

We will die from the overheated atmosphere long before toxic levels of CO2 could be reached. Humans are quite sensitive to overheating.

From what I have read at 5% concentration you wouldnstar to suffer co2 effects.
At 10% concentration you would need an oxygen tank to breath, and at 15% without
Oxygen tanks you will die.

Breathing pure oxygen is also toxic. You can take anything to that extreme and it will be bad. So, yes, it can be toxic but so can any single other thing out there and 400ppm is no where near a level that would be considered toxic.

Since most of our atmosphere is mostly nitrogen we are ok.
But you are right pure oxygen would be bad.

They aren't. But thinking this will lead to some new energy source is. That's generally what people think when people speculate: "perhaps a new abundant fuel source?"

Firstly fuel is not energy, but only an energy storage methodology.
A easy way to store energy in a form as dense as Ethanol, would be a major advance forward and could perhaps a new abundant fuel source,
all without violating any of the laws of thermodynamics.
So please try again to articulate why you think this process would violating the laws of thermodynamics?

What part of my previous post was too hard for you to understand?

Let's look at your previous post and see.

You are mixing the idea of a new energy storage device with the idea of a new energy source, theses are very different ideas.
You are also implying that the OP mixed up the two the way you did, even to the point of suggesting
it could violate the laws of thermodynamics.

You are letting your CAGW beliefs drive you to silly conclusions. Humans are not extra susceptible to heat. We are a species that lives in the Arctic, Antarctic, and blistering deserts around the world. Showing that ill or elderly people can die from heat doesn't prove your silly claim.

Give it up Jack, you just cannot keep up with these cut & paste scientist wannabe's.
 
Global warming is just a myth started by the filthy republicans. It has gotten cooler here since the 1980s.

We are having a warmer, dryer November where I live.

I love it!

In the 60's and not suppose to rain till Friday, then it drops to the 50's.

I love Global Warming!

Thanks for admitting that AGW is now significant enough for even a denier to recognize it.

I'm not a denier.

Your lack of clarity of facts, is widely known by all here.
