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.

Do you have the names of any of these scientists?

The same ones that were predicting a new ice age back in the 70's




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.



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?



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.
