Greenhouse Effect

We’re either turning the world into a warm, moist hell, or else the greenhouse effect is the only thing saving us from another ice age.

I have not heard of any evidence that we would be entering another ice age on the same time scale that we are currently warming the earth. This claim is unfounded in the peer-reviewed literature I am aware of.

As other gases like CO2 increase their partial pressure, burning stuff, and the relative decrease of the partial pressure of O2 will cause us all to suffocate.

The problem isn’t climate change. The problem is breathable air.

According to my buddy with the US energy commision, this problem may be less than 50 years away, based on the observable speed in the drop of O2 partial pressures as measured in Hawaii.

In addition to eburacum45’s good objections, I have to ask: Why don’t I see this discussed in the scientific literature if it is such an important issue? I think you may need a new source of scientific info on this subject.
