And you can say, okay, well, look, the cost per million of CO2 in the atmosphere has been increasing steadily at two to three per year.

At some point, if you continue to take billions, especially trillions of tons of carbon from deep underground and transfer it to the atmosphere and oceans, so you transfer it from deep underground into the surface cycle, you will change the chemical constituency of the atmosphere and oceans.

Then now you can say to what degree and over what time scale.

And the reality is that, in my opinion, is that we've got at least 50 years before it's a serious issue.

I don't think we've got 500 years, but we've probably got 50.

It's not five years.

So if you're trying to get to the right order of magnitude of accuracy, I'd say the concern level for climate change is on the order of 50 years.

It's definitely not five.
