Fact: Plant life required carbon dioxide to exist.
Fact: Plants emit oxygen, required for humans to live.
So, we do away with as much carbon dioxide as possible, killing (or at least weakening) plant life which return the favour by giving off less oxygen.
Hey, presto! We all die and Earth goes on as it always has.
Fact: Animals exhale CO2
Fact: Plants have survived from the CO2 obtained from animals and humans way before humans even existed or started using fossil fuels.
So there's almost no chance of all plants dying from global warming regulations.
OK, dumb ass. Here is what the experts state;
AGU Position Statement: Human Impacts on Climate
AGU Position Statement
Human Impacts on Climate
Adopted by Council December 2003
Revised and Reaffirmed December 2007
The Earth's climate is now clearly out of balance and is warming. Many components of the climate systemincluding the temperatures of the atmosphere, land and ocean, the extent of sea ice and mountain glaciers, the sea level, the distribution of precipitation, and the length of seasonsare now changing at rates and in patterns that are not natural and are best explained by the increased atmospheric abundances of greenhouse gases and aerosols generated by human activity during the 20th century. Global average surface temperatures increased on average by about 0.6°C over the period 19562006. As of 2006, eleven of the previous twelve years were warmer than any others since 1850. The observed rapid retreat of Arctic sea ice is expected to continue and lead to the disappearance of summertime ice within this century. Evidence from most oceans and all continents except Antarctica shows warming attributable to human activities. Recent changes in many physical and biological systems are linked with this regional climate change. A sustained research effort, involving many AGU members and summarized in the 2007 assessments of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, continues to improve our scientific understanding of the climate.
During recent millennia of relatively stable climate, civilization became established and populations have grown rapidly. In the next 50 years, even the lower limit of impending climate changean additional global mean warming of 1°C above the last decadeis far beyond the range of climate variability experienced during the past thousand years and poses global problems in planning for and adapting to it. Warming greater than 2°C above 19th century levels is projected to be disruptive, reducing global agricultural productivity, causing widespread loss of biodiversity, andif sustained over centuriesmelting much of the Greenland ice sheet with ensuing rise in sea level of several meters. If this 2°C warming is to be avoided, then our net annual emissions of CO2 must be reduced by more than 50 percent within this century. With such projections, there are many sources of scientific uncertainty, but none are known that could make the impact of climate change inconsequential. Given the uncertainty in climate projections, there can be surprises that may cause more dramatic disruptions than anticipated from the most probable model projections.
With climate change, as with ozone depletion, the human footprint on Earth is apparent. The cause of disruptive climate change, unlike ozone depletion, is tied to energy use and runs through modern society. Solutions will necessarily involve all aspects of society. Mitigation strategies and adaptation responses will call for collaborations across science, technology, industry, and government. Members of the AGU, as part of the scientific community, collectively have special responsibilities: to pursue research needed to understand it; to educate the public on the causes, risks, and hazards; and to communicate clearly and objectively with those who can implement policies to shape future climate.
SO you have no defense for ignorantly posting the guy who is NOT an expert? Yeah knew that tool, and the AGU? Who cares that one scientific body buys into AGW theory? Matter of fact ONE of the scientific bodies that push the dam theory anyway... Dude its like trying a case by simply asking the defendant if he did it or not...
Are you serious? The earth is burning idiot and if we don't do anything about it we are going to burn. Have you not noticed every year it seems to get hotter and hotter for longer periods of time. I live in texas and that's one of the first places you will feel the heat. Global warming has been being watched for a long time and it has been said that we are getting warmer and warmer.
Honestly i think the ignorant should be you for not truly understanding global warming.

Kiribati President Anote Tong raised the notion yesterday on the opening day of a meeting of Pacific leaders in Auckland. Climate change has become a central theme of this years Pacific Islands Forum thanks to the presence of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who has vowed to put the issue at the forefront of the UN agenda. Ban visited the Solomon Islands and Kiribati before arriving in New Zealand and said it only strengthened his view that something is seriously wrong with our current model of economic development. Tong said hed seen models for a US$2 billion floating island, which he likened to a giant offshore oil platform. He said while it sounded like something from science fiction, every idea had to be considered given the dire situation facing Kiribati, a low-lying archipelago with a population of 103,000.
Other ideas to combat rising ocean levels include building a series of seawalls at a cost of nearly US$1 billion, Tong said, and relocating some residents to other Pacific nations. However, he said he couldnt imagine a day that Kiribati was abandoned. Would Kiribati disappear? he said. Never. Never. Tong said some people have already lost their homes to rising sea levels. He said hes yet to see much in the way of financial aid from Europe despite ambitious pledges. However, in an interview, European Commissioner for Climate Action Connie Hedegaard, who was attending the conference, said Europe has granted more than 7 billion euros (US$9.8 billion) for specific environmental projects around the world over the three years ending next year. Climate change is not just a theoretical future. It is actually happening, Hedegaard said. It is destabilizing areas of the world.
Hedegaard said shes dismayed governments around the world havent reached broad agreement on reducing carbon emissions. However, she said she was heartened that many companies and municipalities are stepping in where governments are not as much to save money on resources as for concern over the environment. I see a lot of good things happening out on the ground now, she said. Hedegaard praised Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillards push to introduce a tax on carbon emissions. That plan will go to a vote next week. Gillard, who has been facing political pressure at home and who has been criticized for her carbon-tax plans, told reporters yesterday that she was sure the tax plan would pass because it has enough support among lawmakers. The Pacific leaders leave for a retreat today on Waiheke Island before the conference ends.
Kiribati ponders floating island to fight rising sea - Taipei Times
The worrisome intruder is a bright-red deep-sea predator that previously had been spotted only in the Ross Sea, on the other side of West Antarctica. Taxonomists identified the crustacean five years ago, bestowing it with the lengthy moniker of Neolithodes yaldwyni Ahyong and Dawson and placing it among the 121 species of king crab. It is known as an ecosystem engineer because it digs into the sea floor to feast on worms and other tiny animals, an activity that in large numbers can have repercussions across the marine food web. A team led by Laura Grange of the University of Hawaii at Manoa lowered a remote-controlled scoutcraft as part of a long-term probe into biodiversity in the waters off the Antarctic Peninsula.
They looked at Palmer Deep, a mud-floored basin in the Weddell Sea located 120km from the edge of the continental shelf. The robots camera, trailed more than 2km, spotted 42 crabs, all of them at depths lower than 850m, where the water was a relatively balmy 1.4°C. By extrapolation, the crab population in Palmers deep an area measuring 14km long by 8km wide could be more than 1.5 million, Grange said. That density is the same as commercial crab fisheries in Alaska and the south Atlantic island of South Georgia. The images gave a glimpse of the kind of damage caused by the foraging crustaceans. The crabs, their shells measuring roughly 10cm across, had dug gashes up to 20cm into the soft ocean floor and thrown up lumps of sediment. The robot also retrieved a pregnant female crab, as proof that the species was reproducing.
None of the crabs were found at shallower depths, where the seas are colder. The implication is that as global warming heats the frigid coastal-shelf waters, which lie at depths of 400m and 600m, the way will be open for the crustacean to continue its creeping advance. The evidence from sea-floor sediment is that no so-called lithodid, or crushing, crabs have inhabited the cold shallow waters of the West Antarctic Peninsula for 14 million years. Previous research has already named the peninsula as one of the most vulnerable regions in the world for global warming. The waters of its continental shelf are warming at a rate of 0.1°C per decade. If N. yaldwyni is currently limited by cold temperatures, it could spread up onto the shelf within one to two decades, said the study, published in the British scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Global warming threatens Antarctica with crabs - Taipei Times
Global warming has become such a hotly debated issue that the country is polarized -- and most citizens get lost in the claims and counterclaims.
Manufacturers fear that these dire warnings will lead to more government regulation and anti-government factions believe that there is a climate conspiracy where top scientists have been caught cooking their books, falsifying temperature data, and excluding colleagues who disagreed.
Representative Michelle Bachman, whose Earth Day speech in 2009 was titled An Ode to Carbon Dioxide, made a claim that carbon dioxide levels are a part of the regular cycle of the earth. In pandering to her right-wing supporters it is easy for her to dismiss the problem because she wont be around to see it happen.
The Truth About Climate Change

They've considered ways to hide them.Representative Michelle Bachman, whose Earth Day speech in 2009 was titled An Ode to Carbon Dioxide, made a claim that carbon dioxide levels are a part of the regular cycle of the earth.
Wow. Part of the regular cycles of earth. I'm sure that's something scientists haven't considered yet.
If the promoters of man-made climate fears truly believed the "debate is over" and the science is "settled", why is there such a strong impulse to shut down debate and threaten those who disagree?
'Execute' Skeptics! Shock Call To Action: 'At what point do we jail or execute global warming deniers' -- 'Shouldn't we start punishing them now?'

Don't all scientists say that? Didn't Einstein ask to jail or execute scientists who doubted General Relativity?
Fact: Plant life required carbon dioxide to exist.
Fact: Plants emit oxygen, required for humans to live.
So, we do away with as much carbon dioxide as possible, killing (or at least weakening) plant life which return the favour by giving off less oxygen.
Hey, presto! We all die and Earth goes on as it always has.
Fact: Animals exhale CO2
Fact: Plants have survived from the CO2 obtained from animals and humans way before humans even existed or started using fossil fuels.
So there's almost no chance of all plants dying from global warming regulations.
Fact: At CO2 concentrations of 200 ppm or less very little grows.
Fact: At high levels of CO2 plants grow like the dickens. All evidence we have shows that when the CO2 levels have been elevated the world was a much nicer place.
Fact: According to the geologic record in those rare times that the atmosphere has not been able to deal with elevated levels of CO2 the excess has gone into the oceans and precipitated limestone, thus sequestering the CO2 for later era's.

if you look at the present climate change without using AGW-coloured glasses, nothing can be considered out of the ordinary. natural cycles. why shouldnt we be having a warm period like the Roman or Medieval ones?
That's why it takes trained scientists to do it and no moron armchairsmen like yourself.it is very difficult to pick out information from the noise in natural evidence,

The Earth didn't warm as quickly in those periods as it has in the past 100 years. But I'd hate to ask you to understand numbers.
