global temperature, and the benefits that will bring.

None so blind as those who will not see. What part of there being 3X as
much CO2 in the atmosphere as there ever has been in 650,000 years are you
not getting? You can stick your head back in the sand now.

Three times as much, I think not.

Here is the present accepted percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere from:
http://www.met.fsu.edu/explores/atmcomp.html

VARIABLE gases in the atmosphere and typical percentage values a

Water vapor 0 to 4%
Carbon Dioxide 0.035%
Methane 0.0002%
Ozone 0.000004%

Note the term "variable." That means it's normal for the percentages to
change from time to time.


Carbon Dioxide 0.035% That's 35/100 of one percent. About 1/3 of one
percent.

So you are claiming 650,000 years ago that was only about 0.012%? 1)
prove it 2) prove that 650,000 years ago is the BENCHMARK figure
(keeping in mind that there's been life on earth for millions, if not
billions, of years.)

Can't do it? Surprise, surprise! Until you can prove it beyond a
reasonable doubt your argument is as impotent as you are.

You should read

I have much more shocking reputable sites for you once you have
digested this one. :-)

From a brief scan, that presentation echoes the arguments made by Al Gore.
All of which are refuted in the link I posted yesterday.

Even if this were true (it's not --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:C...ide_400kyr.png) an increase in
atmospheric CO2 is constantly presented, by certain people, as a "bad
thing." CO2 is an essential link for all life on this planet. More CO2
available in the air, and slightly warmer temperatures, is a good thing.

Tut tut, Neal. Always a mistake to attack religious belief.

Average atmospheric CO2 runs between 300 and 400 ppm -- an increase of 3x
would put us at 900-1200. Are you suggesting that there is data which shows
that is where we are? Or are you relying upon religious belief that suggests
we will get there in a few years?

You are basing your argument upon a computer model of where a few people
believe we WILL be in another 43 years -- not the actual measurable data of
where we are today, or where the world has been.

I've done more than a brief scan of the so-called experts listed as
members of this right-wing wank tank you referred us to. Not one single
individual listed has any specific training with respect to climatology.
Lawyers, economists, political hacks with no formal schooling, political
hacks with degrees in "politics" and "journalism". Absolutely pathetic.
Two of these boneheads are actually advocating the use of DDT! Do you
think Dow Chemical is funding this band of fools? One of these "adjunct
scholars" lists proudly her work attempting to prevent the ban smoking in
public places in DC. Good God! Some of them are pushing for the
expansion of genetically modified organisms. Anyone smell Monsanto?

I've read through the site. Their positions are so far from
anything considered normal or even safe in enlightened society that it is
depressing to think that the gullible, the weak-minded and the uninformed
will be manipulated by this band of shameless hucksters. Absolutely
pathetic.

Ahhh, so anyone who disagrees with Global Warming Alarmists falls into the
category of either "the gullible, the weak minded (or) the uninformed"?
Rational discourse ends here.

So, now you are going to try and convince us that King Tut is behind
all of this?

I've edited your post to show the way you should have written it.

Feel free to respond to my critique of your so-called expert site. I'm
anticipating a deafening silence.
