I have a very serious question for the scientists among us.

I know a contingent of people who want us to figure out how to use water and solar power to create fuel. (That is seriously simplified and paraphrased description, but gets the point across.)

Leaving aside feasibility arguments, I am trying to figure out how they can believe something like that would not "upset" earth's balance. I mean, if we are pumping the waste into the air and depleting water sources, wouldn't that cause the earth to get messed up?

It just seems like environmentalists are completely devoted to this balance idea, but negate potential side effects from ANY wide spread use of any fuel. Does someone have a short explanation of why this wouldn't upset "earth's balance" and explain to me exactly when that balance was perfect??

Ok, back to read the article.

I'm just glad we chopped down all the jungles to make room for the rain forests.

Global Warming is a hoax and it's morphing because we aren't seeing it. Now, it's Human Caused Global Weather Change. What malarky and if you are buying this crap, you're an idiot.

Demand they get rid of the politics in science and prove their case or laugh at them as the charletans they are.

We'll suffer more from the destruction of science and logic than from a few melting ice cubes.

I Predict globul warming will intensify in the next 4 months,then drop off to a managable level after Nov 2nd only to return worse than ever mid summer of 2008.....

A specific example of this is Gore’s acknowledgement that 30 percent of global CO2 emissions come from wood fires used for cooking (p. 227).

Which has zero net effect on CO2 content in the atmosphere.

All the CO2 released to the atmosphere when wood either burns or decays was taken out of the atmosphere when the tree grew.

Nov 7th I meant,I was using false data....;-)

In fact, the vast majority of abstracts does (sic) not mention . . .

No "(sic)" needed. The grammar is correct. "The vast majority ... does not ..."
