Krakatoa might cool things down a bit, like Pinatubo did. But it's not ash that does that and the sulfur dioxide which does do it doesn't last as long as the CO2 we have put into the atmosphere does. But sure, let's hope for a catastrophe to overwhelm our "work", a cometary impact would work, but a volcano won't.
I think it’s mother nature. The earth heat’s and cools it’s an ongoing cycle and no one can truly predict what the earth is or isn’t going to do next . Mount Krakatoa could erupt and cover the atmosphere in ash next week and this whole conversation could be for not .
No. There is no hypothesis which says that tropospheric temperatures fall due to CO2 increases.
First hypothesis temperatures are rising in correlation CO2. Then the temperatures fell off from the CO2 rise.
Nor was it said. Too bad you don't pay attention to what people say what was said rather than what was actually said.
People watched a movie and I had to listen to them for eight years tell me all the ice caps will be gone by 2014. That didn’t happen either.
Are profits bad? What are you, a communist?
Who’s profiting from this? I know one guy.

I can see why you would side with abandoning your principles for the almighty dollar my bad .
Abandoning your principles for the almighty dollar is bad .

Ah, so. Trump is a straight up asshole who will screw anyone he can any way he can, so that's a good thing.
Now, regarding climate: please address volcanoes, comets, and...CO2 causing cooling?
You know...the topic.
You made it up. Give me a screenshot where I said CO2 causes cooling?
First hypothesis temperatures are rising in correlation CO2. Then the temperatures fell off from the CO2 rise.
This is not true. There was no second hypothesis. The theory is that increased CO2 concentrations cause increased forcing which leads to global warming. That theory has not changed, over many decades.
“ so the second hypothesis was that they don’t necessarily have to correlate “
By analogy with similar events in the past, the natural climatic cooling which, since 1940, has more than compensated for the carbon dioxide effect, will soon bottom out. Once this happens, the exponential rise in the atmospheric carbon dioxide content will tend to become a significant factor and by early in the next century will have driven the mean planetary temperature beyond the limits experienced during the last 1000 years.
Why aren’t the temperatures going up with the CO2 concentrations ?
