So large plants (redwoods) use less water than small plants (dandelions)?
“Carbon dioxide is 0.000383 of our atmosphere by volume (0.038 percent),” according to meteorologist Joseph D’Alea, the first director of meteorology at The Weather Channel and former chief of the American Meteorological Society’s Committee on Weather Analysis and Forecast.
“Only 2.75 percent of atmospheric CO2 is anthropogenic in origin. The amount we emit is said to be up from 1 percent a decade ago. Despite the increase in emissions, the rate of change of atmospheric carbon dioxide at Mauna Loa remains the same as the long term average (plus 0.45 percent per year),” he said. “We are responsible for just 0.001 percent of this atmosphere. If the atmosphere was a 100-story building, our anthropogenic CO2 contribution today would be equivalent to the linoleum on the first floor.”
Former Harvard physicist Lubos Motl added that those promoting the fear of man-made climate changes are “playing the children’s game to scare each other.”
“By the end of the (CO2) doubling, i.e. 560 ppm (parts per million) expected slightly before (the year) 2100 — assuming a business-as-usual continued growth of CO2 that has been linear for some time — Schwartz and others would expect 0.4 C of extra warming only — a typical fluctuation that occurs within four months and certainly nothing that the politicians should pay attention to,” Motl explained.
Joel Schwartz, of the American Enterprise Institute, said, “there’s hardly any additional warming ‘in the pipeline’ from previous greenhouse gas emissions. This is in contrast to the IPCC, which predicts that the Earth’s average temperature will rise an additional 0.6 degrees C during the 21st Century even if greenhouse gas concentrations stopped increasing,” he added.
Have you ordered my new book? If not do you not care about the enviorment? The internal combustion engine cause the last ice age and ended it as well. We can prevent ending the current ice age or period of global warming by purchasing carbon credits for each other. Carbon credits grown at ou family tobacco farm make great stocking stuffers. Also, you should drive a Toyota Prius like little Al Gore Jr. I hope Bush is not running for a third term again. I hate being a loser.
Sorry you both got it wrong, first one needs to look at what causes Ice Ages, the first was dinosaurs ‘do-do’, ergo methane. Think millions of years of excretit from the big guys left them up to their ears in it, methane killed them off & tipped the climate balance. Subsequently the earth became an ice ball, eventually defrosting, having commenced plate tectonics, the compaction of dinosaur do-do and inter alia other things became soil & some became attorneys, which is why the answer to the question “what do you have when an attorney is up to his neck in excretit?”, answer “not enough excretit”.

Al, please go away. Far, far away.
It was cows, I tell you, COWS!!! Oh yeah, politicians may have helped too.

Excretit?
