Nice to see you Oonj.

A belated HI, OONJ! I missed seeing your post until now since I don't come by this thread very often! I hope you're doing well!
*****
The reason why I came by here was to post this tidbit that I found. I know people are all worried about a "planet Venus" scenario: runaway global warming that turns us into a 600F hellhole.
So just OOC I looked up the percent CO2 in the Venusian atmo, wondering what level of CO2 could drive such an event.
Is it 500 ppm? (About 25% higher than today?) 10% 20% (the highest concentration in earth's geologic history, before life started efficiently precipitating carbon back into the geologic strata)?
NOPE! 96%!!!
apparently Venus suffered a planetary geologic catastrophe that released a lot of CO2 into the atmo all at once. The nearest equivalent on earth was magma burning thru coal beds when the Siberian trappa were formed, which led to an extinction event but not planet Venus.

Hi OONJ!
I sleep a lot too, now that I'm retired! May I join your category?

Hey Signy
Also, Venus doesn't have a magnetic field and that means that all the lighter gasses have been preferentially stripped away, leaving CO2.
ETA: OTOH, Earth's atmosphere, according to a series I saw on TV, would also be chock-a-block full of CO2 just like Venus, if we didn't have life. Our CO2 stores are geologically immense, and if released would change the entire planet. (Not just in coal, oil, and gas, but carbonate rocks.) It was Earth's magnetic field that preserved the gasses that allowed for life to develop, that stored the CO2, that put Earth into a moderate temperature regime.
Another planet without a protective magnetic field is Mars, which has also had pretty much all gasses but CO2 stripped away. But Mars is too far away from the sun, receiving too little insolation, to get very warm.

*snort* I've never heard anyone worry about the Earth becoming Venus - the made up sh*t you post.
Besides, we don't have to become Venus to be in danger. We've already been losing lives to higher pollution levels:

"Humans have never had to breathe air that's this polluted. Increased air pollution has been shown to cause lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and higher rates of allergies and asthma. A recent study found that 9 million people died prematurely from pollution-related diseases in 2015, accounting for 16% of all deaths worldwide."
Is this your new belief - that climate change is a hoax - now that you are a hardcore Trump believer? You change beliefs faster than a chameleon changes colors.

Here's how. Both parents were always laying guilt trips
on me. So I went to live in Fantasyland ... fun places like
Firefly - Serenity.
Here's my hopeful solution: More people who work hard
without laying guilt trips on others.
... oooOO}{OOooo ...
Hi OONJ - you had us all worried! (not trying to make you feel guilty)
Hope you are having a good day playing on the computer and sleeping in!

The made up sh*t YOU post!
Quote:Of course. As a former air pollution regulator I spent lmost my entire professional life enforcing air pollution regulations and studying the effects of air pollution. I can quote you chapter and verse about the number of excess deaths in the SCAB (approx 8000) and the kind of air pollution with the worst health effects (PM2.5 and much smaller.) But I wasn't posting about AIR POLLUION, was I? I ws posting about the Planet Venus Effect.
Besides, we don't have to become Venus to be in danger. We've already been losing lives to higher pollution levels:

But there are some people is some areas who experienced high levels of air pollution long before industrialization - women who cooked indoors over wood or dung fires, for example. Primitive peoples who warmed their caves or huts with smokey fires. A study of their lungs reveals very high levels of soot pollution including PAHs.

NO, IT IS NOT Your habit of LYING what people post about ... seriously GSTRING, you should look into that. Your constant lies are only confusing YOU, you're certianly not confusing me.
The shit you post, indeed.

From MIT Technology Review:
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/426608/how-likely-is-a-runaway-gree
nhouse-effect-on-earth/
How Likely Is a Runaway Greenhouse Effect on Earth?
...
But that raises an important question: is it possible that we could trigger a runaway greenhouse effect ourselves by adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
You could save yourself a lot of unneeded humiliation, not to mention you trashing your own reputation, by taking less than a minute to google the things you THINK you know.
A billion flies eat shit.

I know everything about the shit you post - you're a regular typing b-hole.
You say: "I know people are all worried about a "planet Venus" scenario..." and then cite one person's extreme scenario. One. Person. Sorry, toots, you screwed that one up. Your Fake Outrage needs a new coat of paint.

CO2 is part of "AIR POLLUION" - WTF is "POLLUION?" anyway? Did they pay you at that job you say you had?
