Survey: Less Than Half of all Published Scientists Endorse Global Warming Theory

[GaryC 7]

This has nothing to do with GW. Your lumping pollution in with the fantasy of CO2 causing GW. One has nothing to do with the other. If you ask me should we avoid pollution then the answer is yes.

Ok, phew...we're getting somewhere. So when should the government step in and set limits or regulations on the market, in terms of pollution?

I am old enough to remember rivers catching fire in Ohio. I know that the government needs to make rules to govern pollution. I have no problem with that. My rub is the idea that CO2 is pollution, it isn't. So therefore it needs no regulation.

There is that too.

Actually, that's really the only way to silence them. Otherwise, these threads go on and on and on, ad nauseum. Please lets try to take this one into uncharted waters or my head is going to explode.

now that could cause global warming

I would cause a chain reaction that would destroy all life as we know it.

The cockroaches would survive.

...and Cher

gary, don't you know that carbon dioxide is a pollutant? and i'll do my part to cut down on such when all the libs make a gesture of good faith, like by not breathing

Do you believe in life after love? I know Cher does.

The libs should all do their part by holding their breaths for say, the next 20 years. See if that makes a difference.

Yeah, but can't there be an agreement here that can be a multitude of reasons of why we should be cutting back on CO2 emissions and Gary, please, you're pulling back into this definitive stance that CO2 emissions have absolutely no impact on the earth's climate, which you know is NOT true. You're real argument is how much of an impact. You either think that impact is negated or that whatever proposals of reducing those emissions are draconian. Can you give a specific example of what you consider draconian regulations?

carbon dioxide makes plants grow. hmmm. alright, if you're breathing, send me $1 because you're making my yard grow too fast

Love is like oxygen...too much and your gonna get high. Not enough and you're gonna die.

...it's really not that difficult of a concept to understand, is it?

Conservatives are the ones with all the hot air, how else do they make their science work?

The air we breathe consists of many gases - CO2 is one of them. These gases are present in the air we breathe in certain proportions. Our respiratory systems have evolved (or were created, whatever) in a manner that they work well when these proportions are maintained. When they go out of whack, bad things happen.

For example, imagine an atmosphere that was 20% Nitrogen and 78% Oxygen with the same trace levels of CO2 we have today. You'd die. No ifs or buts about it.

It isn't just about CO2. It's about making sure our air stays the way it needs to be. All external influences need to be controlled. Everything needs to stay "just right" if we're going to keep breathing.

Is that before or after "The Fairytale: Evolution" ?
