it just sounds cool
I disagree, I think it sounds kind of dumb, which is why I brought it up.

But people on message boards all over the world think that adding the word "metric" in front, somehow indicates extreme emphasis.  I just don't get it.  I never heard or saw this before message boards proliferated, but maybe it was something in the language beforehand?  I don't know.  But it's dumb, and you all sound dumber for using it. :)

your making an assumption that prior to man the earth could only deal with the level of co2 that existed

how do you know that the capacity of the earth to deal with co2 was at 100%

nature tends to adjust to deal with what comes its way

again this is 4% vs 96%
In a way, that's correct. Long term, the planet will be fine. The people, on the other hand, might be f$^#&d. 

How do I know that the the earth can only deal with that amount? Well, based on the picture I posted above that showed CO2 concentrations for the last MILLION years, throughout multiple ice ages and warm periods, being between 250 and 300 ppm. And in 200 years we've now hit 410 ppm. Clearly the earth, although it might adjust over a few thousand years to be able to pull that CO2 out, clearly is NOT capable of dealing with an increase this large on a short term basis.

The alleged increase in global T is 1.1°C thus far.  That is ~0.3% on an absolute scale.


I'm not sure this can be the cause for wildfires, floods, hurricanes or other natural disasters.

of course it sounds dumb to someone that understands it's merely 10% more

sayin "all Y'all" sounds dumb to someone that understands proper English

How often have we seen 1.1C change over a 100 year period in history?

No proper Texan would ever say "all y'all" because it is obviously redundant.
