What do you think is going to happen to our oxygen?
Nothing in the current concept of AGW, has anything about threatening oxygen levels.

That's hardly the point here.

We were talking about the things that are essential to humanity. Or are you suggesting oxygen isn't essential?

No, I am asking you why you keep bringing up that we need oxygen to live!
There is no reason to believe that our planet will not have sufficient oxygen levels in the future!
Why would you think otherwise?

So is CO2.
Without CO2 you won't continue to have O.
Is CO2 essential?

Sigh. Really, I can't be bothered with this. You start taking about things, the you start going off on one.

Yes, CO2 is essential. What's your point?

Too much water, you die.
Too much oxygen, you die
Too much sun, you die.

You were the one who brought up oxygen in a thread about global warming,
Post # 121, "However without oxygen, we're 100% dead."
I am simply asking what you think is the relationship between oxygen and AGW?

What's the relationship between oxygen and the 1862 Superbowl?

I thought YOU had a point.
I was just trying to figure out what it could be.
I guess, like climate predictions, it just wasn't possible.

As of May, the death toll for the India heat wave was 1800. It's probably more now. Alarmism?

Yes. Alarmism.
There was a heat wave in NYC and 1300 residents died ... in 1896.

We weren't warming the earth then. We are now. You can use that excuse, even if there are heat spells every day of the year. Your children and grandchildren probably won't appreciate that logic.

Let's see in post #119 we were discussing where CO2 warming ranked on a list of important things,
You replied with this,
Surely our ability to live on this planet is the most important things.

Now, water is one of those.
Energy is less so because we don't actually need the energy that we're consuming right now. We just WANT TO.
Oxygen is also one of these.
Food is one of these.

Implying that added CO2 would somehow limit our ability to live on this planet,
and that Oxygen was somehow involved.
I asked why you think oxygen levels would be a factor related to CO2 warming?

So we had heat waves before we "were warming the earth"??? How about that. What caused them? Musta been something other than "we", huh.

According to the climate jihadists, the sun doesnt warm the earth, only human breath does.

I find that the most productive way to approach the "climate jihadists" (I like that term) is to ask a few basic, and I do mean basic, questions to see if I'm dealing with someone who actually knows something and has given it some thought - or if they're simply posting links to something they haven't read or understood and are parroting what they think they're supposed to say.
I could name names.
If they have no answer for common sense questions then what's the point in getting into it any deeper ... they're committed to a political position and will never be moved.

As I said, continue to spout your garbage, as heat waves are more and more commonplace. Wildfires are burning more and more acreage. Unfortunately for you, the SCIENCE renders your argument pointless.

There's that 1880 date again (the 2nd chart).
Tell me, what did it look like before 1880?

The evidence is so overwhelming that even fossil fuel companies have to acknowledge the need to drasticly reduce C02 emissions.

Statements on Paris climate agreement | ExxonMobil

Just like federal agencies under Trump.

"The impacts of climate change are already being felt in communities across the country. More frequent and intense extreme weather and climate-related events, as well as changes in average climate conditions, are expected to continue to damage infrastructure, ecosystems, and social systems that provide essential benefits to communities. Future climate change is expected to further disrupt many areas of life, exacerbating existing challenges to prosperity posed by aging and deteriorating infrastructure, stressed ecosystems, and economic inequality. Impacts within and across regions will not be distributed equally. People who are already vulnerable, including lower-income and other marginalized communities, have lower capacity to prepare for and cope with extreme weather and climate-related events and are expected to experience greater impacts. Prioritizing adaptation actions for the most vulnerable populations would contribute to a more equitable future within and across communities. Global action to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions can substantially reduce climate-related risks and increase opportunities for these populations in the longer term."

2019 Heat Wave Set to Be Longest on Record; Respite Likely in Days Ahead | The Weather Channel

Heatwaves have dominated the news for much of the past few months. According to reports, there have been 32 heatwaves this year in India, the second-longest spell of high temperatures in the country’s recorded history. If these conditions prevail for a little longer (and they might, given that temperatures are still high across northern India), 2019 could break 1988’s record of 33 heatwave days.
...
Heat-related illnesses and deaths have also been increasing around the country. Recently, four senior citizens touring Uttar Pradesh died on the Kerala Express, apparently due to heatwave conditions. At least 36 people have reportedly been killed by excess heat across India this year.

So?

Next year it will be some other country having a heat anomaly. How many have cooler than average areas?

Do you think India represents the world?

Four hottest years on record have all been since 2015.

"2018 is on course to be the fourth warmest year on record. This means that the past four years—2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018—taken together are the four warmest years on record. In contrast to the other top warmest years, 2018 began with La Niña conditions, which are typically associated with lower global temperatures."
