unfortunately it's false and made up as an excuse for taxes..it's a
natural phenomenon which occurs regularly throughout the earth's life
cycle.. as for "more carbon dioxide emissions" the bare elements are
just matter.. which cannot be destroyed nor created - energy can also
only be transferred, so if it were real.. then it could be
scientifically reversed with enough study.. we should be more worried
about asteroids hitting us IMO
i wholly agree with the latter of your statement though stuart
We'll keep going until this thread attracts a moderator!!
You're pretty close here, closer than all the media pundits and
attention-seeking half-ass scientists anyway. There are members of the
scientific establishment currently advising caution rather than the
Sun-readers rush into Global warming hysteria. For a long time
(geologically "long") the earth has gone through cycles of warming and
cooling, it's possible, even likely, that man has accelerated the
current warming slightly. If the effect of this is just to shorten the
period between temperature peaks then we are unlikely to have caused
any permanent damage.
Talk of CO2 levels, mostly by people who have not the faintest idea
what CO2 actually is, ignores the fact that prior to the period in
history when all the fossil fuels were laid down, the planet must have
had an extremely carbon-rich atmosphere and man has developed in an
unusually O2 rich environment.
