What evidence is there that CO2 was over 1,000 ppm tens of millions of years ago? Ice core only goes back?

Boron isotopes in planktic foraminifer shells; Carbon-isotopic fractionation of ethyl and methyl ketones in algae. I'm sure there is other stuff, but it's not an area I know much about.

Carbon dating does not go back to the Pliocene, numbskull.

The Creationist date is 4004 BC. There tree-rings that go back farther. Every year is there, 4004 BC, 4005 BC.....

Do you know how they calibrate the C-14 curve? Do you know what the C-14 curve is?

You don't even know where you are in space-time - let alone what science is.

Climate science has nothing to do with determining the age of the earth.

I have a hard time believing anyone living in a developed nation could be so ignorant about so many things.

I think it is a fair assumption to consider most rocky planets develop the same kinds of gases during their formation, both Venus and Mars have 95% CO2, so it is not difficult to believe at some time Earth was the same, it is only because Earth is in the goldilocks zone in terms of distance from the sun and it's mass and was able to keep liquid water, that cyanobacteria evolved and started converting CO2 to O2 and with other plants and creatures, depleting levels of CO2 and locking them up in trillions of tons of chalk and limestone.

It has been an up and down ride for CO2 but generally the trend has been downward, and what would happen if levels dip below 140ppm is very interesting, I suppose life would die back to a point where CO2 doesn't decline anymore (stabilize) but life would be at a very low level.

Should I remember correctly, sea floor fossil records were used. Looking at which species did well and which species did poorly indicated CO2 levels of ~1000ppm existed during this time. .... I will try to find some articles on this for you.

Ice does not last 800,000 years . How many times was the Earth completely thawed

no ice and in Ice Ages ?

Carbon dating by evolutionist scientists is a crock!!!!

When you can prove the Earth is more than 10,000 years old, then bring in 800,000 years to the conversation.

Science doesn't know squat about the Planet and will clearly admit it as long as you talk to a credible scientist.

I use to believe that the Planet was older, but since science has been manipulating climate records, I have a hard time believing anything about climate science.

Gary F - You don't know much about anything when it comes to climate!!!!

Wikipedia says current levels may be the highest in 20 million years

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_diox...

800,000 years and during the peak of the Pliocene when the world was baking at 4 C more than now, 10 C more at the poles, sea level was 5 to 40 meters higher than now, CO2 was only 415 ppm, compared to the hottest interglacial peak over the past 800,000 years at a bit under 300 ppm and the coldest glacial peak over the past 800,000 years at a bit over 180 ppm.
