I was just trying to question your 50-100 timespan for CO2 in the atmosphere. because if that's the case, then we don't need to worry too much. Get hot, wait 2-3 generations, cool down again. I just don't think that is the case.
>>You can't reduce the Earth to a simple series of stoichiometric equations Isn't that the whole greenhouse gas argument? Dig up buried hydrocarbons, burn them to release CO2, V.BAD. (CxH2x+2 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O) Burying people isn't sensible, but putting bodies or trees back down the mine shafts and sealing them would remove the CO2 that we are digging up I suppose. See my previous comment about fusion, CO2 extractors and mineshafts.
1) We are going to burn all the hydrocarbons we can lay our grubby little hands on. 2) The CO2 will stay around forever (for all practical purposes......hundreds of generations). We either learn to live with the consequences (not easy), or do something to remove the CO2 (not easy).
