Don't Be Very Worried
The truth about "global warming" is much less dire than Al Gore wants you to think.

Since 1970, the year of the first Earth Day, America's population has increased by 42%, the country's inflation-adjusted gross domestic product has grown 195%, the number of cars and trucks in the United States has more than doubled, and the total number of miles driven has increased by 178%.
But during these 35 years of growing population, employment, and industrial production, the Environmental Protection Agency reports, the environment has substantially improved. Emissions of the six principal air pollutants have decreased by 53%. Carbon monoxide emissions have dropped from 197 million tons per year to 89 million; nitrogen oxides from 27 million tons to 19 million, and sulfur dioxide from 31 million to 15 million. Particulates are down 80%, and lead emissions have declined by more than 98%.

But,,Al Gore is serial man! Serial!
Good source of global warming debunking info.
I sure wish folks in the administration would point this stuff out regularly.
There has always been global warming and cooling.
For hundreds of thousands of years.
The ability of man to affect climate is totally unknown by the foremost experts, thousands of them, and if they can't find a way to know, I'm sure Al (the Retard) is beyond hope of ever knowing.
The constant din of ignorance is not about climate change, but about man's role in it.
Picture the Pacific Ocean. Now visualize man as one individual on the beach with a three-gallon bucket.
Is the man affecting the Pacific Ocean in any meaningful sense?
"I'm sure Al (the Retard) is beyond hope of ever knowing."
He knows he can frighten people and attack Bush with it.
I think that is all they really look for in a cause these days.
Anything we do to Mother Earth, she'll correct, make the best of or incorporate into her allover plan for her own well-being ; I have no doubt about that. Grand Canyon, anyone? How about Crater Lake which was caused by a huge meteor hitting us eons ago? How about the gorgeous forests in northern Wisconsin? They weren't always forests, you know. They used to be covered in ice, LOL! ;)
We're so absolutely insignificant in the Grand Scheme of things. It just amazes me that these Enviros have never understood how huge our planet is! Doesn't Algore look out the window of his Gulfstream when he's burning fossil fuels while flying coast to coast?
Junk science with an agenda. I don't take global warming seriously at all. It's getting to the point where it's laughable.
Its all about the money. Get a good government grant, roll another one, and man, you're really cooking !

But have the emissions of C02 gone down? THAT's the gas that the whackos care about right now-- all the other stuff be damned.
That's why such a report will fall on deaf whacko ears-- they see C02 as the greatest threat of them all.
Poor Al applied for the job of POTUS, but was not hired. There just isn't any work for an ex-vp, Love Story role model, internet inventor or "Package" model. The only thing left is global warming guru. The guy has have something to do.
bttt
Crater Lake was formed by a volcanic eruption.
Not that I disagree with your basic premise.
