J is the carbon cycle. …
J is not keeping up with CO2 emissions;
J is therefore scarce
(Groan) Well, maybe if J is a carbon cycle capacity it can be scarce. But are you implying that it cannot grow?
, and it is rivalrous Only if the capacity of the carbon cycle must be rationed and not grown.
And that brings us back to square one where we must believe either
(1) a bunch of big government kleptocrats armed with buggy computer models with insufficient data who tell us high CO2 will mean the end of life as we know it and that handing over our freedom and treasure will solve that sky-is-falling problem, or
(2) the Rocks — Which tell us, “Been there before. What problem?”, or
(3) the Plants — who collectively say, “Good! the CO2 drought is over!”
