I an not sure if it is more arrogant to think man caused global warming or that man can stop global warming. We better just make plans to live in a warmer world. That is where we should be spending our money. Al Gore's solution may be one piece of the solution. Human beings are absolutely the cause of adverse climate change. I don't know if we have the ability to fix it, but we have to try. You're talking about dooming millions to extreme hardship if not death. There are no legitimate solutions that will fix that problem without fixing the underlying cause. "Human induced climate change" is the part that you do get disagreement about among scientists. The predominance do agree it is getting warmer but that support starts dropping off when you start assessing blame on why. The CO2 trend is 8000 years old, more closely tied to agriculture than anything else.. In that regard, it is more closely related to population than industrialization. I suppose if we reduced the population to the 1900 levels, we *might* reduce CO2 to 1900 levels. The "predominance" agree it's human caused. You can quote all the numbers you want, but that's a fact. You are going to have to cite that ... and not from, Al Gore. My "8000 years ago" number is from an article in Scientific American about tracking CO2. In that regard, man may be causing the CO2 buildup but it still tracks population growth and the rise of agriculture as much as any other metric. It is an 8000 year trend. Buying carbon credits from Al Gore is not going to do anything about that. It will just create another phony bubble market like the CDOs that will probably pop I do have a little skepticism about "published reports" because professors publish to get grants and there are no grants to prove man didn't cause global warming. Read all about it.. http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americ...vey/index.html If you don't believe "published reports," what possible reports would you believe? The ones on fox news? |
