For those greenhouse gas emitters among us...

Looks like a good idea. Something wrong with it?

Man made global warming is a scam to remove your money from your wallet and to increase control over you while destroying the US economy.

Keep believing that.

And given that the U.S. "man" you refer to seems to produce 1/3rd of all the CO2 on the planet, perhaps those of us in the U.S. should do something about it, man.

Ok you can start by quitting aviation..........

I think we need Jetflyer to visit this thread and preach about PEAK OIL........

Why should we do something about a non-pollutant, that all life depends on, that is almost exclusively naturally occurring?

========================================
CO2 is essential for all life on earth. Without CO2 no plants will survive, thus no food and no oxygen for all us and all animals.

Atmospheric CO2 levels were much higher in prehistoric times. The current levels of atmospheric CO2 allow plants to grow larger and thus produce more food for us compared to 500 years ago.

Of all the CO2 produced, man made CO2 is 0.116 %. If you include all greenhouse gasses, man’s contribution is 0.28%.

The most common greenhouse gas is water vapor not CO2.

======================================
Climate is always changing!
The earth is warming, the warming started in the mid 1700’s, long before CO2 levels increased from the industrial revolution.

During the 1100’s which is known as the “medieval warm period” the earth was warmer than now. The Vikings were grazing cattle in southern Greenland. They had to leave by the 1400’s because the temperatures had cooled so much.

The temperature continued to cool into “the little ice age”. During the coldest part of this cool period sunspot activity was almost nonexistent. The Hudson River would freeze during colder winters in the little ice age allowing people to walk from New York to Staten Island.

Since the 1700’s sunspot activity has increased. The increased sunspot activity equates to a brighter or stronger sun. The stronger sun reduces cloud formation in the upper atmosphere allowing the earth to warm.

=====================================
If man made CO2 levels are causing global warming why did the earth cool for about 40 years from the 1940’s to the late 1970’s while atmospheric CO2 continued to increase?

What about instrument error? Urban areas with growing populations have warmed since the 1940’s but rural areas have not.

====================================

Next time you fly you can calculate the amount of CO2 you produce by multiplying the pounds of jet-A burned by 3.15 to get the pounds of CO2 produced.

If you’re driving you produce 20 pounds of CO2 for every gallon of gasoline burned.

So the world's still flat? Sweet.

Liberal or conservative, go watch "An Inconvenient Truth." All myths debunked.

Or as Neil Young said: "Got a man of the people, says 'Keep hope alive.' Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive..."

LOL...........you trust Gore?!.........
Hilarious.........

I am going to buy another SUV just for spite

Please, if you are interested in this topic read both sides of the view and you will see that Gore's movie is not "settled science". Many scientists disagree with much of what Gore says and many agree, but it is certainly NOT "settled science".

If you look at the huge relationship chart that Gore tries to prove his point that a CO2 increase causes an increase in climate temperature you will see that even his graph shows CO2 lags temperature in change. You can make a compelling argument that temperature affects CO2 content. The main point is that Gore and the extremists want you to believe that man causes global warming and don't even think about any other point.

Open your mind and don't be a hand puppet.

My solution: Drill for oil in Alaska and off of our shores while developing alternate energies and increasing conservation. Why can't we do more than one thing at a time?
