Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
You seem to be double posting a lot. The same argument/link only needs one post.
Carbon dioxide concentrations are rising mostly because of the fossil fuels that people are burning for energy. Fossil fuels like coal and oil contain carbon that plants pulled out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis over the span of many millions of years; we are returning that carbon to the atmosphere in just a few hundred years.CO2 levels have always been changing , we are near a historical low level today. At 150 ppm plants are starving. So the CO2 level now is a good level for the Earth for the growth of plants. There have been nine warming events each lasting four or five hundred years. These warmings occur every 1,500 years with great regularity. They are probably a combination of the malancovitch cycling process. Whatever the cause of the warmings are they do exist. We are experiencing one of those now.
The natural causes need to be examined and become separate from the anthropomorphic causes. Then we will know more about what is going on.
As far as your analogy goes, nature is dealing with the increase in the co2 produced by man. The ocean sink and the vegetation sink will settle at a new level the CO2 produced by man will also become stable. There is in the analogy a limit to how much more you can increase the amount of water coming in the tub.

Stop burning coal and oil and the problem will disappear.
The increase in the CO2 level can be caused by deforrestion also and there is no proof of this not being the reason for the warming we are experiencing
The basic biology of plant decay is that when they decay they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The mathmatics of leaf decay
The percentage of the carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere is ninety percent per year of the carbon dioxide .
I have not heard anyone yet effectively refute the claim that plant and animal decay are responsible for ninety percent of the CO2 produced every year. Reading on the web I have seen different percentages of CO2 for carbon decay.
Except given that there isn't a pause in temperature... this is all a moot point.The carbon cycle includes the CO2 produced by man. Some or all of the CO2 produced by man is absorbed by nature. The ocean and plants take out the CO2 produced by man or most of it. The carbon cycle is what is causing the CO2 levels to be slower in rising and will become stable as time goes on. This is the reason for the pause in the temperature record. We will be expierexperi the same pause in the CO2 record soon.
Doubling CO2 from today's contractions holding all other parameters constant has a negligible effect.
CO2 levels will never be very high due to the fact that the heat release valve located in the tropics by Richard Linzeden and team discovered in 2001. When the water In the tropics reaches C 28 degrees and above it is vented into space. Not to mention the ocean and plants and trees these are also heat sinks.
