Interesting, but if certain posters here (and I am not hinting you are
one of those) claimed there was no connection between the activities of
man and global warming, I would dismiss those claims out of hand because
of the demonstrated pigheadedness and stupidity of those posters, and
the fact that they have their heads stuck up the butts of the US Chamber
of Commerce.

All things being equal the eco systems of the earth can handle increased
carbon dioxide in the air, in fact life will flourish as plants take up
this nutrient and algae and plants become more prolific. Short term we
might have a moderate increase in temperature, nothing like the 8 degree
swings of the past before we were a factor in planetary terms.


Better scientists than you or I disagree, and believe we are precipitating
global warming to a degree that will lead to disaster.
Yes, scientists disagree. Many of the "claims" from the doom and gloom
global warming club have been debunked in terms that even I can understand.
It makes them seem "unscientific" and ignorant as their claims would require
global temperature increases of 50 degrees for polar ice melt and their
models claim 5 degree increases in 100 years.





We should all be much more concerned with the OTHER pollutants like lead,
mercury, cadmium, radium and others that are going into the atmosphere
from coal fired power plants. As far as I am concerned the coal plants
can produce MORE carbon dioxide if they can eliminate the heavy metals
from the stack.

Some of us are concerned about those substances, and coal-burning plants
aren't the only sources of them. Then why waste time on carbon dioxide
when we can get behind mercury emission standards.



The global warming scare is a political shell game, it's
crap.....Everyone's attention is diverted from the REAL issues.

I disagree. You think it is out there to divert attention away from the
other pollutants? By whom, the polluters? Who? China, India, France



Harry, tell me why NO-ONE is concerned about these poisons. Why the
attention to a benign gas that IS part of the life cycle. IS NECESSARY
for life to flourish.... and no attention to elements that are not a part
of the life cycle, that pollute the food chain and KILL higher forms of
life.

Do you think you are being manipulated Harry....think about it.... I
know we are and it makes me angry!

We are being manipulated by corporations and their henchmen in Washington
on any number of issues.

Right, so you still don't recognize this one? IF Bush had gone along with
the Kyoto treaty the Democrats would have been against it. Maybe not at
first but after it impacted our economy, Bush would have been the short
sighted idiot who believed the French and signed the treaty. Clinton
wouldn't have signed the treaty.
