I dont see how cool planet can take 100ppm of CO2 out of the atmosphere in 40 years when neil says it took the earth a million years to remove 100ppm.

I commend cool planet for putting out some measurable goals with a time line that isnt 1,000 years out. I just dont think its realistic. 10 or 20 ppm, yeah I might buy that

The antarctic is gaining ice. Plus they (mainly al gore) were saying the polar ice caps (both of them) would be ice free in 2010. There is less ice, but no where near the stated goal.
In the 1970s scientists were convinced we were going into another ice age.
So how sure are you this time?
Really, really sure?
all these dooms day predictions end the same way, never coming close to being true.

According to the arctic ice volume chart at least half the ice has melted since the 1980s, shouldn't there be a substantial sea level rise to go along with it?
