    I wish that this problem could be so easily dismissed. I encourage you to investigate climate change more carefully. It is not something that is going to go away. I have just concluded three years of researching this fascinating subject. Acutally the physical principles involved in a warming or cooling of the earths climate are well established. In other words we know how it works. The problem we have is communicating the urgency of our situation to the culture. The earth\’s climate is very sensitive to CO2 concentrations and our releases of this gas are very large and in fact geologically significant. Continued releases will hearld astonishing change, in my opinion beyond what is commonly being reported. Simply we can not release this gas, we can not continue a business as usual attitude. We need to ungently wake up and reconize our greatest challenge to us as a species.

    Not to worry. We here at the World Institute Environmental Regulatory Division of Official Science have a plan. As soon as we raise the sea levil sufficiently to cash in on that beach front property in Arizona, We\’ll just switch the dial over to the nuculear winter that was predicted back in the 70\’s and cool thing off again.

    CO2 is bad? What do plants breathe? When plants get lots of CO2 they get bigger and breathe in more CO2 and breathe OUT more oxygen. Higher concentrations of CO2 would cause de-desertification, allowing more plants to grow in arid climates that cannot currently support them.

    What caused the last round of global warming that ended the ice age? Was the earth better off during the ice age?
