Wow Isaac you just ruined my day. I had given you high marks for your great postings about attack back at Islam. Now you go and sidle up with GW wackos? I am going to have to hunt the board and remove all the WINNER tags I put on you. I thought you were one of the smart ones?
I'm always glad to disappoint people.
I don't live in a box dobey, though you have a great need to put people in boxes and close the lid tight.
Real life isn't black and white it is in color.
If there is even a slight man-made cause to GW what you think"they" will do about it? Take more money from us? hand it out to "them and themselves"? USA is clean compared to China India Africa etc. What you want to do? Shut down the country? Solar Cars? Horses? How do you heat cool your home? Natural Gas, Coal, oil? you want to freeze? It is always nice to cut down on pollution and we already do that.
Last one for this thread.
The isotope of CO2 from burning fossil fuels is different than the isotope of naturally occurring CO2.
The carbon cycle, like all natural cycles, was in equilibrium until 1750. Then the CO2 started rising in the atmosphere because of the burning of trees, which are made of carbon, in large number by human. This has continued to increase the last 250 years adding in coal, oil, and natural gas. Additional CO2 that is emitted into the atmosphere every year is 35 billion tons.
The debate on this ended 15 years ago among scientists. We know Global Warming is real and accelerating. The denial industry spends billions trying to confuse people and they have had success because people naturally don't want to believe such a large and scary thing is happening. Cognitive dissonance has been harnessed by the denial industry.
It is all mute.
Soon enough the whole human race is going to be faced with something it has never seen. And it won't be pleasant by any stretch of the imagination. A new mass extinction has already started.
