I think your position opens you up to ridicule. You ignore facts for the purpose of furthering your position. But I will give you a chance to redeem yourself, ok? 1. Do you admit AGW is a hypothesis? 2. Do you admit there is significant scientific rebutal to the AGW hypothesis? 3. Do you demand more research before exposing our economy to what could be meaningless regulations? 4. Do you realize that CO2 emmissions don't operate in a vacuum? Therefore there could be other significant factors leading to global warming? 5. Give everybody the extent to which you believe that CO2 emmissions are having an impact on the enviroment (please be thorough)?
Global warming is not a theory. CO2 causes the earth to warm. No one disputes this. The only question is, How much? You believe that raising the level of CO2 by one third in a scant 200 years is having little or no effect. I disagree. That's it. Soon the level of CO2 in the atmosphere will be double what it was 200 years ago. What will happen then?
Are there other factors involved? Of course. Could Nature counter global warming? Of course. But the vast majority of scientists believe this massive increase in CO2 is the main culprit in global warming. You disagree.
What is striking is the effects that we are seeing. Rising temperatures, melting glaciers, the melting of the North Pole....who knows where all this will lead?
