We are producing lots of carbon dioxide and it may be excessive and it 
may be dangerous.  But I dispute the fact that any one "knows" this. 
The current level of atmospheric carbon dioxide is hardly unprecedented 
in geologic time.  When anyone can say with *certainty* how much carbon 
dioxide can be absorbed by the oceans and by the biomass that will 
thrive on the carbon dioxide enriched environment then I'll *start* to 
pay more attention.  I say *start* because there's a lot more 
wishy-washy and precisionless "science" that needs to be waded through 
after that.

All that said, I think it's foolish for us to consume more energy than 
the sun can deliver and whatever percentage of that we can reasonably 
capture each day.

OM content:  I do sometimes catch some of them photons and don't release 
'em.
