- "That is the logical outcome of your argument, ie that a small amount does not matter."
And the logical outcome of your argument is tthat you want to remove all CO2 from the air, since, of course, we want no arsenic or cyanide in our bodies. Is this all you''ve got, moronic statements? - Reply to this comment
- What percentage of the air you breath out is carbon dioxide, arsenic or cyanide.

And that has what to do with your original point? - Reply to this comment

- By your reasoning, we could add 0.03811 % arsenic to your body with no ill effect! Ready to give it a try?

No, that''''s not correct at all. Anything else you''''d like to make up?

- Or 0.03811 % hydrogen cyanide to the the air. Wouldn''''t recommend that either.

How about .038% pollen maybe flour or another non-poison. You people are a joke.

- If as everyone claims, we''re suffering global warming now! Bye 2050 it''ll be far too late. India and China don''t care as it is, so I say suffer the consequences. I say deal aftermath later when you have no choice! That is what human history shows anyway.

Good one. It is so simple minded to say that "it is only 0.03811% so it doesn''t matter". Good grief, we have a nation of scientific illiterates!! - Reply to this comment

- Scientists at NOAA''s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory have put together a chart showing Arctic ice relatively stable until a precipitous decline began in 1999 the very year the Arctic eruptions started.
Icebergs breaking away and polar bears supposedly drowning are good theater, but they do not reflect reality. In April, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) published a study, based on last September''s data, showing Arctic ice has shrunk from 13 million square kilometers to just 3 million.
What the WWF didn''t mention was that by March of this year the Arctic ice had recovered to 14 million square kilometers and that ice-cover around the Bering Strait and Alaska was at its highest level ever recorded. Ice freezes. Ice melts. That''s what ice does. - Reply to this comment
- Earth''''s atmosphere contatins:
Nitrogen 78.0842%
Oxygen 20.9463%
Argon 0.93422%
Carbon dioxide 0.03811%
Water vapor about 1%
Other 0.002%
So, how much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere?
Don''''t get me wrong, I''''m all for cleaning up the air, it''''s the scam that gets me going. Who thinks we have about two years before the limits on CO2 are in place, and the first story is coming out about big money law firms suing businesses for their carbon emissions? Follow the money, always follow the money with D.C..

- [Leading industrial nations on Tuesday endorsed halving world emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050,]
i''ve committed to personnaly and completely eliminate my own greenhouse gas emmissions by 2030 ... at which time it''s likely i''ll be dead. - Reply to this comment
- AP NEWS: Volcanoes erupting beneath Arctic ice
New evidence deep beneath the Arctic ice suggests that a series of underwater volcanoes have erupted in violent explosions in the past decade.
Hidden 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) beneath the Arctic surface, the volcanoes can range up to more than a mile (2 kilometers) in diameter and a few hundred yards (meters) tall. They formed along the Gakkel Ridge, a lengthy crack in the ocean crust where two rocky plates are spreading apart, pulling new melted rock to the surface.
The eruptions discharge large amounts of carbon dioxide CO2, helium, trace metals and heat into the water over long distances, he said.
The research, detailed in Thursday''s issue of the journal Nature, was funded by NASA, the National Science Foundation and Woods Hole.
BAN THE VOLCANOES! - Reply to this comment

By the way, the Saudi''s have huge investments in alternative energies. They have oceans of oil and their money is in alternatives? Where do you think the money is going to be going these next few years? We know where the oligarchy in control of the media want it to go. - Reply to this comment
- Since China is emerging and we are de-emerging, send them the bill.

- All nations need to be subject to the same terms, or none at all, the so called emerging economies have a much better opportunity to industrialize with emissions in mind than countries with mature economies.

- Fire Under Arctic Ice: Volcanoes Have Been Blowing Their Tops In The Deep Ocean
ScienceDaily (June 26, 2008)
A research team led by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has uncovered evidence of explosive volcanic eruptions deep beneath the ice-covered surface of the Arctic Ocean
The paper, which was co-authored by 22 investigators from nine institutions in four countries, was published in the June 26 issue of the journal Nature.
Robert Sohn, WHOI geophysicist, lead author and chief scientist of the July 27, 2007, Arctic Gakkel Vents Expedition, estimates that exploding mixtures of lava and gas were expelled at speeds of more than 500 meters a second.
Sohn says the large volumes of CO2 gas that belched out of the undersea volcanoes likely contributed to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. - Reply to this comment
- You "Al Gore" posters crack me up.
FYI, Gore has nothing to do with the factual basis of global warming. But I suppose it would be a real strain for you guys to actually read the scientific reports, huh? Much easier to go off on your little rants about Gore''s electric bill. This is a sad commentary on your intellectual abilities. - Reply to this comment
- If we say it is not true our dumb as dirt followers will believe us and we can make a few more Billions before they find out it is true. Then we will just tell them to pray for it to get better!
Sorry, but if you do not believe global warming is a fact and is true then you really are dumb as dirt and more than likely a greedy self serving Republican!

LOL!!!
No one is debating against the thermometer! What intelligent folks are debating is your scam artist father, Goreball and his 23.5 X ACU of precious resources and the FACT that it makes him a hypocrite.
Sorry, you phail! - Reply to this comment
