Source-The Last Time CO2 Was This High, Humans Didn’t Exist
There is no single, agreed-upon answer to those questions as studies show a wide date range from between 800,000 to 15 million years ago.
So where did this claim of 3x to 10x more CO2 come from?
For a 2009 study, published in the journal Science, scientists analyzed shells in deep sea sediments to estimate past CO2 levels, and found that CO2 levels have not been as high as they are now for at least the past 10 to 15 million years, during the Miocene epoch.
A 100 foot rise in sea level might have a dramatic affect on human civilizations I would think, especially if it were in a short period of time. Overall I think that this claim is rather disingenuous. Sure CO2 levels were higher than today but by how much and when and how would our current civilization fair in such times?
“This was a time when global temperatures were substantially warmer than today, and there was very little ice around anywhere on the planet. And so sea level was considerably higher — around 100 feet higher — than it is today,” said Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann

Very interesting and spot on docu with real facts.
They laid out basically what I have thought all the time. Human's have very little impact on the climate. It's the sun and vapor !
If co2 was affecting our climate, the upper atmosphere would be heating up at a faster rate than the surface. But , in fact, it's just the opposite.

One claim in the first 2 minutes is that the Earth in its history had 3x as much and even 10x as much CO2 as we do today.
This isn't true for the last 650,000 years according to this graph from NASA.

Anthropogenic global warming theory hinges on three things:
1) Humans are emitting CO2.
2) CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
3) Greenhouse gases redistribute energy in the atmosphere.
Which of these 3 is false?
Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth, Study Finds
From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25.
An international team of 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries led the effort, which involved using satellite data from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer instruments to help determine the leaf area index, or amount of leaf cover, over the planet’s vegetated regions. The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the continental United States.

There is absolutely no reason for the upper atmosphere to be heating up faster than the surface.
Why do you think this would be the case?
