Goldblatt said in 2013: "our estimate is that it would take 30,000 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere to make it warm enough to trigger this runaway greenhouse", i.e. boil the oceans away. He said this was a finding in the Goldblatt et.al. Low simulated radiation limit for runaway greenhouse climates <http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v6/n8/full/ngeo1892.html> paper published at that time. He was quoted <http://www.nbcnews.com/science/science-news/runaway-greenhouse-easier-trigger-earth-thought-study-says-f6C10761164> in an NBC interview, saying this "really seems quite unlikely".
Would 30,000 ppm seem unlikely to Dr. Evil? The man had a base on the Moon. Is *ISIS* just Dr. Evil diverting our attention from his extraterrestrial carbon import program?
