Welcome to Gaia! ::

being an environmental earth scientist i have strong views on this topic. i can quite happily say that i know pretty much all there is to know on the topic and am happy to hear your views and questions.
this is a growing issue and sooner rather than later the bush administration will have to accept this ever growing threat!

there is too much evidence that sujests that we are the cause! such as a rise in CO2 in the upper atmosphere since the begining of the industrial revolution. studying the carbon cycle has shown that the reason that our atmosphere isn't toxic to life is due to the prehistoric plants taking that CO2 out of the atmosphere and beoming lithifighed as fossil fuels. this harmful gas is being released again into the atmosphere by human activity and dening this is one step closer to our demise!
not only our we burning fossil fuels but we are cutting down trees (a natural carbon sink) and the melting of icecaps is releasing CO2 traped in ice bubbles. we are having an impact whether small or great and it's a threat that needs to be addressed.
there is always the possibility that it is a part of the natural cycle of the earth, ice cores from the north pole have shown us that there have been meny peeks and troffs of carbon in the atmosphere. mainly due to past volcanic activity and the likes.

as for your last statement. exactly my point. the bush administration refuse to acnolage there is even a problem. being the leaders of CO2 pollution in the world, the squeaze out more gas than Europe combined.
it's just foolish to say we're not affecting the atmosphere at all yet time and time again the American government refuses to sign the kyoto protocal in favor of low fuel prices and greater profit for thier country. so i ask you: "what good is money if you dont have a world to spend it on?"

zerox.
though you have the right idea your so called proof is flawed.
your correct about recycling, though we shouldent really be looking towards recycling to solve all our problems, reusing on the other hand, thats a step in the right direction, rather than spend energy and money on melting down a glass bottle to turn it into another glass bottle we should just reuse it! now thats logic. as for solar power being the answer to the world energy crisis, a saviour to all our atmospheric problems, i think you need to stand back and look at the facts. solar power generates a very limited amount of energy (and thats when the sun is up) so inorder to produce enough energy to power your home you'd need a sizable area that would only give power for 50% of the day. less power in the winter(when it's needed most). no effective way of storing it. the development of the tecnology is still only in it's early stages and thus isnt very effective and is very expencive. for the amount of energy it produces it have every little apliction in industry. and if it did we'd be talking hectars of land devoted to generation of power which would devalue the land and cause a huge impact on the environment!
for demestic use, yes it would be a good idea but we're lating a while before it becomes good enough to take on even the smaller competitors in renewable fuel.
as for your next points the economy of America is it's only concern, cutting back on it is imposible, but it should be looking at cutting back on it's emisions vaia taxation and subsidies for so called 'green' companies. all it needs to do is make 'GREEN' more apealing! America isnt the only 'superpower' that uses fossil fuels but it is the leading polluter in a world of countries that are now cutting down. how long and America stick its fingers in it's ears singing "LaLaLa im not lisenting"?

We've ******** the earth over royally, and no one really cared up untill a few years ago....

Honestly, I'm glad I won't be around for when things get really bad...

He used footnotes in a quasi academic text? Wow! You certainly don't see that every day!
Though your post is barely comprehensible I'm pretty sure you're saying that global warming is a fraud. I suggest you go and look in the science or current events sections of your local bookstore for anything about global warming, I personally would suggest Tim Flannery's 'The Weathermakers' though I'm not sure if it's available outside Australia. You'll find that they have footnotes too! And many of them are written by actual scientists who are too busy doing real research to 'love writing fiction'.

I agree. People need to wake up and face the problem.
