The period of time is but a 'blip'.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Generally items on a timeline are measured in time, not volume...

Plant growth is already up 30% due to the increase in CO2. Yields are at all time highs. Of course, that clashes with the “it’s all over!” school of thought, so we don’t hear much about it.

This doesn't make anything more clear.

Plant growth may be up but insect death is at an all-time high, too. Most like to blame pesticides but LED lighting has been shown to interrupt circadian rhythm of insects and is discussed as being the cause of the die-off. I removed all of the daylight temp fixtures from the outside of my house (inside, too).

New CO[sub]2[/sub] Levels...

"Carbon dioxide levels are higher than they've been at any point in the last 3.6 million years" This is longer than the length of time, humans have been on earth. It may even be unhealthy:

"It may even be unhealthy" Or indeed it may not. My money is on the latter. Otherwise we'd poison ourselves every time we exhaled. Go on, think about it. 44000 ppm.

Again not to worry Co2 has zero to do with the weather slash climate, as it is all caused by the winds aloft and high and low pressure areas.
The term "fossil fuel" is an invented term designed to affect a certain opinion, the correct nomenclature is "Mineral oil or fuel". Something that is fossilized is something that has turned solid, not into oil.

 

[dik]

Invented or not... fossil fuel includes both oil, coal, and petroleum, and describes the source very well.

Oil is from minerals not from something that has no possible way to arrive at such depths, through hard rock and clay.

 

[dik]

They are all classified as fossil fuels...

https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/petroleum/

"Feb 9, 2023Like coal and natural gas, petroleum was formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms, such as plants, algae, and bacteria. Over millions of years of intense heat and pressure, these organic remains (fossils) transformed into carbon-rich substances we rely on as raw materials for fuel and a wide variety of products."

You are wasting your time arguing with anything that dude says.

 

[dik]

Thanks Swinny...

I know... it's for others that may not know and might be swayed by his comments.

Regarding the artic warming, we have to remember that correlation does NOT equal causation. I think that's one of the major mistakes made by "alarmists". Especially since the research shows worse correlation with more extreme warming. This is the type of "messy" science that is genuine. Though the type of thing that is unlikely to gain much funding because it's not "sexy" enough.

The oxygen in River flow seems kinda like junk science to me. We know gases can dissolve in water. We know that effect changes with temperature. We can plot that effect. With colder temperatures resulting in the solvent being able to retain MORE solute. Plot those graphs. Study concluded for how this could be affected with higher vs lower temperatures. Not sure why they treat this as something so mysterious that they can't study it in a lab have have to completely rely on field readings. LOL.

Now, the flow is obvious as well, you agitate the water and you get more gas exposed to the water and more gas dissolves. Though that would be a function of temperature as well.

Not sure why light is supposed to be an important component. But,

 

[dik]

...as the water warms, there is less dissolved oxygen. This can have an effect on aquatic life.

If we average the last 14,000 years of sea level rise (well within the lifetime of modern humans) they would have experienced 20cm in 30 years. Your linked study indicates sea level rise has slowed, a lot. Why should we be worried?
