n2sooners says: What this means is no matter how much you change your CO2 footprint, how much you try to be CO2 green, no matter how much liberal governments tax you - you cannot save the planet from its natural cycles. Say they reduced the CO2 25%. Say the CO2 is the driver for the remaining 30% of Global Warming (which it cannot be, but let’s just be only half as ridiculous as the IPCC), then all that effort would only impact 7.5% of the forces driving the global climate. The other 92.5% would roll on, impervious to the effort. And since CO2 is not 100% of the remaining 30% of the equation (more like 10%), a more realistic expectation is that all the suffering that would go into dropping CO2 levels by 25% would result in a less than 1% change in the forces driving our climate. Is there something wrong with wanting clean air, no matter what the debate on global climate happens to fall on this time around? To just dismiss the Co2 argument because it MIGHT not be the cause of warming is secondary. Just wait 'til you see the runners at the '08 Olympics hacking and wheezing on the track in Beijing. Now That air and ours in big cities is certainly man-made and extremely unhealthy, right? CO2 isn't a pollutant. CO2 is vital. We exhale CO2, and plants breath CO2 much like we breath oxygen. If we are going to sink our economies by spending trillions of dollars on the environment, at least we should try spending some of that money on something that is actually a pollutant. That is the worst part of the church of global warming, they are distracting from real pollutants in order to attack a naturally occurring and vital part of our atmosphere. CO2 is a trace element in our atmosphere is is currently at about 387 Parts Per Million. I worry about exess carbon from the internal engine and other spent fuel exhaust - this IS a cause of air pollution. Excess CO2 on the other hand is not the problem that it is being made out to be. Don't let the fear mongerers win. Do some research yourself, don't be swayed by popular opinion. |
