    Is there any relevance there? I just love the arrogant assumption that in order to be considered truthful you have to be a parasite on the taxpayers.

    When you tally up the average displacement of the average car engine, then multiply that by the average RPMs then the number of minutes per day they run on average , then add the three million cars which will go on the road in China alone this year, plus those new ones put on the road around the world,
    you get an idea of the volume of vehicle exhuast we will put out this coming year alone, not counting what we have already put out.. How can anyone be so self deusional as to believe this won't have any effect on the thin atmosphere we live in? How can anyone be so insulting as to suggest that the rest of us are gullible enough to believe that this has no effect on the atmosphere, and the climate, which it has such a major effect on?

    It is all nothing compared to the Ring of Fire. That island volcano called Iceland does its fair share of spewing. The alarmists spew the most and should hold their collective breath.

    do I really need to post the data once again Hoyt and show for the tenth or so time that volcanism is not the largest contributor by far

    every time this comes up its going to get smacked down
    volcanism is simply not the cause

    Keep drinking the KoolAid Brent. That way when the alarmists have confiscated all you own and hope to own in order to spread the wealth(misery) the pain won't be so bad.

    Boston, blah blah blah.... vegetation eats CO2 for lunch.

    then why is the co2 content rising at an unprecedented rate if vegetation is so good at eating it all up

    hey Brent
    of course you are completely correct the only issue is that some folks are unable to see past themselves and view the larger picture.
    Place an ever growing population in any finite system and just watch the resource clock ticking away

    at 11 hours 59 minutes you still have 50% of the resources left and there will still be some few who fail to see the danger

    at midnight

    we run out of resources

    vegetation also emits co2 at night and during the day. Every living organism emits co2 in a process known as respiration.
    Also, co2 does not produce o2 in the process known as photosynthesis, the o2 comes from h2o, while the co2 produces a sugar and a 3 carbon molecule used in photosynthesis over and over again. So saying that co2 increases will increase the photosynthesis and o2 emitted is nonsense. It has been shown that more co2 will stunt a plants growth.

    I think 90% of Americans will never understand that; our math systems just aren't that good.

    Not all increase in athmospheric CO2 is due to human contribution. Soils seem to release more carbon dioxide as globe warms, although global data seem to be not consistent for the boreal-Arctic zone. Soil respiration has increased about one-tenth of 1 percent per year since 1989, according to an analysis of past studies in yesterday's issue of Nature. Understanding soil and sea respiration is central to understanding how the global carbon cycle affects climate, which we still do not in spite of what the Climatists say. Unlike the amount of sunlight reaching Earth, soil respiration can’t be measured from space and can’t yet be simulated effectively with computer models.

    Well ... that video was pathetic ignorant biased and as usualy the case wrong and rude.
    Is that what you Boston believe to be true?
    Figures.

    Since everything is so corrupt I would like to know how you choose your data from.
    You keep on posting ******** data yet you sell it like if it is gospel from God Himslef.
    How can you differenciate it from the data posted that claims the exact opposit since you personaly have no way to check it?

    Answer: You trust a particularly biased ignorant and most of the time wrong website for reasons that can only be speculated upon but that probably have to do with your particular likes and dislikes. You believe them because you like them, like you like that pretend self professed "comediant"....on the comediant side, I can always say that taste is personal so if you like that comediant you probably like Mexican food and that is how it is... no hope.

    Perhaps you could improve if you changed taste in websites?
    It is not that hard.

    SAINT PETERSBURG (AFP) – Walking along a Saint Petersburg Street immersed in music, Milana Kashtanova, became the latest victim of falling icicles and ice blocks that have killed five people and injured 147 in the city following Russia's coldest winter in 30 years

    Now before you idiots spew climate vs local weather, Russia spans 11 time zones. I would say thats pretty wide spread. Coldest winter in 30 years. Did we suddenly reduce carbon emission? Hmmmm :D

    There is a weather pattern called "El Nino" in effect right now. It tends to lead to more precipitation. And if they are falling doesn't that mean that they are melting? Last i checked snow and icicles tend to fall when the temperatures rise above freezing.

    And soil in the boreal-arctic zone is called permafrost. It releases methane as it warms, which is an even more effective greenhouse gas than co2. that the permafrost is melting is proof that the earth's temperature is significantly warming.
