Climate Policy

[kandrathe]

If the temperature rise came first, and caused CO2 to start rising, it did so with remarkably close proximity in time to the start of the industrial revolution.

I'm not suggesting or implying anything other than what I said. One might theorize though that with the ending of the little ice age, agriculture became more effective once again with a corresponding population rise. This led to more deforestation, and with the advent of conquistadors, and the knowledge explosion of the enlightenment, this population was primed to begin exploiting natural resources including wood, coal, and eventually oil.

Again, it seems remarkable to me that it is linear, given the variable of transitions of different sorts of fuels, and different sorts of combustion, eruptions, and massive fires. Then there was the advent of massive transportation, jet air planes and the automobile. Nothing during the massive ramp up of production during WWI or WWII, and generally no blips, no dips, no spikes. Weird.
