...From another venue: this is where I stand now. <br /><br />*****************<br />From a strictly scientific point of view, there is no reasonable debate (meaning only persons incapable of reading and arithmatic will debate) that the earth has been warming. There is very little debate that anthropgenic warming is occurring. This will soon be beyond dispute at the same levels that smoking causes lung cancer is. That hasn't been 'proven' either. But the models all agree. And they have predictive value.<br /><br />It may be that anthropogenic warming is insignificant compared to non-anthropogenic causes.<br /><br />There remain reasonable disputes about whether anything can be done, and whether anything should be done. And if so, what. There remain lots of reasons to say: America shouldn't do anything until India and China are brought into the fold. Etc.. <br />*************************Dr24Hourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212511946268980294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-77464799646437249082009-10-12T09:09:16.796-07:002009-10-12T09:09:16.796-07:00That's why wife's diamond comes from Canad...That's why wife's diamond comes from Canada, and was purchased from a retailer and wholesaler who do not business with conflict diamonds.

But increased CO2 alone increases plant maturation, speeds growth cycles, which fixes more carbon dioxide. <br /><br />And why do people complain about Carbon? Carbon isn't bad. It's carbon dioxide which is opaque to IR. Otherwise, go bury that diamond and all your pencils!
