     Indeed as a white American I too am disappointed to learn
of how many of us are dumb as door-nails. But I blame it all on
former President Rutherford B.Hayes, who in order to claim the
presidency pulled the Union Occupation forces out of the South.
This of course led to the end of the Era of Reconstruction and
the rise of the Black Codes which made it necessary for black
people to be employed by white men or be condemned to manual
labor for the county. Enforced by the Patrollers which amounted
to every white layabout.

     I was also disappointed to learn that the great Republic
of Texas was founded with a stipulation in the Constitution that
only black slaves would be allowed in this new nation. Knowing
that though it is remarkable how many great free black people
have emerged from Texas. I will only cite Willie Brown who was
the leader in the State of California Legislature for many years
and the Mayor of San Francisco. This sort of racist thought
led to the foundation of Oregon and maybe a few other states.

that burning the millions of years of stored carbon is the cause
of global warming.  Carbon dioxide is not poisonous per se unless
you are at the bottom of an enclosed space and the Carbon Dioxide
is displacing, due to the weight of the compound, the Oxygen that
you need to survive.  It is however as mentioned endless times
a greenhouse gas and is contributing to Global Warming and to
of course the resultant weird and dangerous weather.

I would worry more about the CO coming out of a stack than the
COO, of course that is contributing to the warming. And the
heated gases might just melt your face.

Maybe though the most horrid conditions will be confined to only
most of the world and there may be oasis-es where complex life
can continue until relief after the next Ice Age.

If you have CO coming out of your stack then you have a problem.  CO is a sign of incomplete combustion, a dangerous and potentially explosive condition.

Somebody here came up with a paper calculating the excess heat of the earth caused by humans for the next three centuries using the powers law.  Now that might happen.

 Let me also add that there is zero risk of any brain boiling temperatures on the earht due to CO2.
 Note that historically, the maximum amount of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere historically was approximately 3,000 to 9,000 ppm. Today we are at an estimate of 419.3 ppm.
 Life existed happily, and the planet was covered in vegetation when the CO2 level was 7x to 21x higher than today, so at least there is no need to fear any brain boiling. =)

People are already dying of extreme temperature.
COO levels may have triggered the warming but the future warming is
from methane levels released from it clathrate forms by warming
in thee Northern permafrost and from the warming sea beds.
Also remember the warming puts more water vapor into the atmosphere
to come down somewhere else but the water vapor is a warming agent.
All those times when the COO levels were higher were
prehuman. The life that existed then is different from the
life that now exists.  The plant life that existed in the carboniferous
era was turned into coal and into the crudest of oils by the processes
of decomposition, pressure and time.
