Well, if that's what you believe, I suggest you pollute for all your worth.

While I'm something of an agnostic on the whole GW thing, it's hard to miss
the fact that there's a high correlation between those pushing its cause and
those who historically have insisted on regulating others' behavior and
reaching into others' pockets to pay for their own pet causes of one sort or
another.


Its all about following the money. The GW enthusiasts have created a
panic against which they can get gov't grants to do research $$ and
contracts to develop solutions to the synthesized problem.

GW has been with us for the past 18,000 years. So which factory or auto
emission started that warming trend before the Egyptians figured out
which way to align the pyramids?

CO2 levels are rising. That's what happens when it gets warmer and the
bacteria get more active. The fact that our current CO2 levels "appear"
greater than those in the ice core samples is easily explained by the
outgassing of CO2 from the ice over thousands of years. The same reason
carbonated water goes flat if its left in the glass for hours.

Glacial retreat? That's what happens when the earth emerges from an ice
age.

Thirty years ago, the cry was that the earth was cooling and that we
were pushing it back into an ice age.
