All by itself, without the help of humans.
You keep telling yourself that, on the Swedish coast.

Don't expect us Dutch to build you dikes. Or dykes - you'll have to go without either. We're keeping them to ourselves.

Sometimes it isn't the post but the poster, in your case I can't see that happening! 😉

Perhaps it was one of my 20,000 thumbs down and not hers at all?

Do you think it possible that other factors other than just global CO2 levels may be in play here?
Yes it is possible.

Now is it impossible that rising CO2-levels are in play here?
And who is responsible for those levels (not all of it but the vast majority), possibly Oil and coal burning humans?

So the question is is it impossible that we are responsible?

If it is possible, don't search elsewhere.

I would say everyone of us who owns or drives a vehicle is responsible contributes to the CO2-levels to a degree.

A typical passenger vehicle emits about 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. This assumes the average gasoline vehicle on the road today has a fuel economy of about 22.0 miles per gallon and drives around 11,500 miles per year. Every gallon of gasoline burned creates about 8,887 grams of CO2.May 10, 2018

Big business are the worst polluters of all...just look at the oil refineries emit many gases like sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxide (NO2), carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, dioxins, hydrogen fluoride, chlorine, benzene and others.

We are all guilty!!!
