Actually the amount of co2 pumped into the environment my man pales compared to the giga tons released by the oceans when we have a SOLAR induced warming period which we have had in the last 200 years.
Since we are heading into a solar minimum the oceans temps will cool (there is a great lag effect)
Also water vapor is a much more powerful greenhouse gas.
But at the end of the day we will never get our woolly mammoths and mastodons back, our Neanderthal ancestor's and their phat rollin' SUVs saw to that.
I'll make you a $100 wager that the earth's temps will be lower in 20 years than they are now.
Calculated for inflation $100.00 will be something like 35 cents.
