Will global warming be reversed by human's effort?

"Allowed to?" No one - other than us - will stop it. We could utterly destroy this planet in half a dozen ways.

It's like asking if you are "allowed to" smoke, drink Sterno or cut off your own hands. Yes, you are. But it's a really bad idea.

So, when it reached 3,000ppm in the past, the planet need mankind to stop it?

If you're saying 3,000ppm destroys the planet, why is life still here?

Why can't it reach 3,000ppm again? Which authority claims it's not allowed to do so again?

Again, viruses have nothing to do with antibiotics. Antibiotics do not work against viruses. Antibiotic resistance is not an issue for viral infections.

...but a chance for another plug for "quorum-sensing", "hive minds" and shit, nevertheless. :D

Oh, it won't wipe out life. It will just wipe out people.

Is that your goal?

Why do these guys persist in posting irrelevant noise?

For the fiftieth time: the threat is from the high rate of change in the CO2 concentration,
which leads to a high rate of change in the global climate, in the acidity of the ocean, and in a couple of other factors.

AGW is about ten times as fast as global climate changes of the past. That's how it kills.

Yes, all the Pope has to do is wave his hands around in some arbitrary gesture and mumble Latin gibberish like usual, and it'll happen just as surely as every other miracle he's ever created. No need to worry about being a responsible sensible human being, he'll take care of everything for ya.

The human component of climate change is within our control
and
Only the human component of climate change is within our control.
Ignoring that which is not within our control is folly.

That is the point exactly and scientists are well aware of that. That's what scientists are warning us about, the climate change that we are causing, the one in which we have control. Natural climate change is not an issue at this time.
