Is it possible to reverse the effects of global warming if we act now?

Your post is multi-part, so I will address one segment at a time. 1.) CO2 can be a powerful greenhouse gas. Venus is nearly 100% saturated atmosphere of CO2 and is about 600 to 700 F degrees hotter than it should be.

That fact is correct. 2.) There are ways to get CO2 out of the atmosphere, but why would you want to? At 200 ppma (currently it is 395 ppma) plants that use photosynthesis growth is stifled (halted).

At 150 ppma, all plants that use photosynthesis and many other life forms die, including most food crops, which means humans become extinct. 3. The Taiga Forest has more biomass than all the rain Forrest's, and can replenish all of Earth's oxygen alone, so the loss of the rainforests causing the planet to have catastrophic consequences is mostly hype.

There will be some influences, but no where near what most claims project them to be. 4.) CO2 levels hae been an average of 1200 to 1500 ppma for 599.2 million years of the last 600 million years. Only in the last 800 thousand years has CO2 been as low.

About 2 million years ago the Isthmus Of Panama divided the Atlantic and Pacific, causing the 100,000 year or so climate cycles we experience today. 5.) The claim that CO2 has never been so high in hundreds of thousands of years is incorrect. 90,000 chemical measurements of atmospheric CO2 levels were measured beginning in 1812, and CO2 ranged from about 270 to 550 ppma, and averaged about 300 ppma in the last 200 years or so.

6.) Natural venting of CO2 is about 1280 billion tons through volcanic vents, and hydrothermal vents. Humans only emit about 30 billion tons which is only 2.34% of all CO2 emissions 7.) If CO2 were more than doubled to 800 ppma, the temperature variant will only be 0.05 C (1/20 Degree C) and the variant would only be realized at night. 8.) Overpopulation is not the problem.

Politicians using the population for political purposes, and use the agriculture industry for political purposes, causes problems that societies end up having difficulties because of it. This then only appears that there ar problems from over population. 9.) Poverty is a product of a lifestyle and personal decisions to not better their lives, along with government policies that discourage people to do well for themselves.

It is also a myth that the rich can only be rich if others are poor. If any one person plants crops and brings it to market, wealth is gained for that person and not at otherothersnse. It is a gain for the person and society.

10.) Global Warming/Climate Change is an illusion that man made CO2 since the industrial revolution has caused CO2 to rise,a nd the temperature charts that were presented are flawed. The 1930's were hotter. It is volcanic activity for venting CO2 beginning about 1865 at the accelerated rate that is causing atmospheric CO2 levels to rise.

The one Icelandic volcano eruption in four days negated all the CO2 that was reduce or sequestered for the last decade, and the second eruption negates any and all CO2 emission reductions and sequestration for the next dacaddecadeo. Sources are The Heritage Foundation, The Heartland Institute http://www.petitionproject.org are good starts for underunderstandingsciences behind Earths atmosphere. Six publications that are widely accepted data and sciences have been written to address the big picture for anthropogenic CO2 emissions and Earth's atmospheric events.

There are charts, graphs and other references mentioned in the publications.

No. In its most basic definition, global warming is actually a totally natural occurrence—scientists have found signs of temperature shifts from extreme cold to extreme heat and back to extreme cold throughout Earth's history; it's been argued that the dinosaurs existed during such a warm climate. In fact, the mere eruption of volcanoes spews tons of carbon-dioxide into the air every year.

Further, carbon-dioxide contributes to our ozone layer, which—at least in part—protects us from the dangerous vacuum of outer space. So, in reality, we don't want to necessarily remove it from the atmosphere; we do need a little of it to survive. HOWEVER, humans ARE contributing to the ACCELERATION of global warming, and that is causing severe negative repercussions (overpopulation wouldn't be a problem worth noting if we weren't mowing down forests left and right).

Where the planet would normally warm slowly and allow life to adapt to those changes—which can easily take more than ten generations—the warmth is coming much faster and making adaptation difficult or impossible for many species, which end up dying as a result. Whatever "damage" has been done can't be reversed or cured or anything else, nor can it really ever be stopped. But it can be SLOWED—so that a while from now the level of warming will be considered "natural"—and all we have to do to achieve that is live a little more carefully.

Planting trees is one way, and limiting harmful emissions is another. The so-called "green" technology is currently expensive, but already proving what it can do for those who are investing, and with common use it will become cheaper over time just like everything else does.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
