No, as a geologist, I said, okay, let's look at the proposed CO2 limits. Let's look at the proposed CO2 limits right now. If we were to meet all these limits, what would the Earth look like? They are proposing a reduction from 2010. I think they want about a 45% reduction. It brings us down to about 220 parts per million. All right, 180, 182 is considered a death sentence for our planet.

When we reach that level, the forests begin to die. All right, and the temperatures are colder and the ice is greater in the Northern hemisphere. So CO2 is not like a little dial where you can like click it and say, well, we need to bump it up or bump it down. The level that they're pushing for is only 35 to 36 parts per million away from a really, really bad level for Earth.

So I did an experiment. When was the last time Earth was at 220 parts per million CO2? Last time we saw that was a geologic time called the Pleistocene. The last ice age. All right. Pleistocene, low CO2, the forest died. They want to push our temperatures back. We're an average right now, I think 59 degrees Fahrenheit is a global average, give or take. Right now? Right now, global average.

Oh, wow. And they want to push us back to about 46 degrees global average. If we make this planet, Dan, if we make this planet geologically like the Pleistocene, it's not good for us. Right. It's not good for humans. Would you agree with that? No, I totally agree with that. Okay, so let's put that aside. Now, look at what's happening on this week.

What is happening is the major powers of the earth are being provoked to destroy one another. They're being provoked to create war, to deplete weapons resources, to deplete munitions, to deplete human power.

to deplete uh entire populations war is not good for us would you agree with that i would agree with that okay and you put that there now look at what's happening socially this is evil climatic evil this is evil uh uh uh conflict war is evil oh yeah okay now especially thermonuclear war now you look at what is happening there's a concerted effort to break the social bonds

that have always held societies together. Now this is, it's really tricky the way it's happening because they're important topics, 2014.
