The oceans can NO LONGER absorb the excess CO2. And a tipping point may have been reached. This is OBSERVABLE in the VANISHING GLACIERS and DYING coral reefs. Part of the threat to the CO2 cycle is exemplified by the Tundra in Russia that NO LONGER is covered with ice and is self-combusting, which is throwing stored-up CO2 into the atmosphere.
All that I am saying is that scientists are concerned/worried and that concerns me!

If most scientists claim man-made warming is harming the climate, then they should be able to say how much of current warming is "man-made" and not from Little Ice Age thawing. That data does not exist -- their theory is invalid -- just scare-mongering -- and effective enough to get folks for pay more taxes for no verifiable reason. Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park and many other thrillers, said, "Social control is best managed through fear."
