RE: I still contend....

Comment comment by milhous on 22 January 2008

I'm sorry, my question about Newton's law was not meant to be a negative disposition, as I believe in that law whole-heartedly.

What I was inferring is that our Earth's relative atmospheric temperature should be at equilibrium for the most part, with the high and low temperatures due to the water cycles chaotic nature when viewed even in a macro-scale.

RE: I still contend.... by Michael :: NR4

The carbon cycle (release/plant etc uptake) implies a self correcting system. Given that we still have life on the planet, I'd be inclined to believe it works and is robust. My real fear is that when it's gone wrong, like very low CO2 levels, we've ended up with global cooling. Those are catastrophic.

VNutZ, thanks for the link to Arctic melting from underneath.
