    I don't believe this but now it seems that there wasn't any slowdown in the rate of recent warming after all! -it all comes down to missing data of the warming of the poles that have warmed much more than was assumed by the models:

    If you see the video as well as read the link, there seems to be little doubt about it!

    It does not matter what the population size of the species involved.

    The Carbon cycle is a closed loop apart from burning fossil fuels.

    Where do you think cows get carbon from to make methane?
