But let's take the cycle further.
CO2 - absorbed into the oceans. Bonds with Calcium and makes a precipitate - Calcium Carbonate. Layers build up at the bottom ... becomes LIMESTONE. Limestone can, if it gets under further pressure, change into MARBLE (a metamorphic rock vs. sedimentary rock.) CO2 absorbtion of the ocean can continue as CO2 is removed by the calcium.
Layers of limestone & marble, if due to tectonic plate shifts, folds under and gets layered even deeper - where it can be "cooked" ... and this can actually cause the decomposition and breakdown of the rock - and something like volcanic events can now have a major CO2 release. It is very cyclic over millions of years, and the forces involved are way beyond what us mere mortals can impart!! (In fact, scientists will often state that a particular volcanic event released more CO2 in one blast than decades of man-made CO2 release due to burning petroleum products.) I wonder if Al Gore has a plan to sic the EPA on Mother Nature.

No, the Vikings absconded with all the English vineyards and moved 'em to Vinland. Then one day it snowed, and all the inhabitants of Vinland were wiped out by a massive attack of migrating Polar Bears.

I'd like to know also if Algore ever passed a science course.
Maybe Ali Gorat is pulling our leg?

>>>I think Mencken said it best... <<<
Philip Freneau said it this way in his 1792 editorial titled 'Rules for Changing a Limited Republican Government into an Unlimited Hereditary One':
"As the novelty and bustle of inaugurating the government will for some time keep the public mind in a heedless and unsettled state, let the press during this period be busy in propagating the doctrines of monarchy and aristocracy. For this purpose it will be particular useful to confound a mobbish democracy with a representative republic, that by exhibiting all the turbulent examples and enormities of the former, an odium may be thrown on the character of the latter. Review all the civil contests, convulsions, factions, broils, squabbles, bickering, black eyes, and bloody noses of ancient, middle, and modern ages; caricature them into the most frightful forms and colors that can be imagined, and unfold one scene of horrible tragedy after another till the people be made, if possible, to tremble at their own shadows . . . No pains should be spared in this part of the undertaking, for the greatest will be wanted, it being extremely difficult, especially when a people have been taught to reason and feel their rights, to convince them that a king, who is always an enemy to the people, and a nobility, who are perhaps still more so, will take better care of the people than the people will take of themselves."
The Al Gore Manbearpig parody on South Park is more believable than Al Gores real movie.
In the programme Nigel Calder says: "The greenhouse effect is seen as a religion and if you don’t agree, you are a heretic.
Rush has been promoting this angle for a while. Bet he reads this article on his show tomorrow.
Unfortunate thing is, religions are based on faith and those who believe the religion of global warming will not be swayed easily from their "faith".
Faith is belief in the intangible..
Anthropogenic global warming is faith in the misconstruction of observable events and conditions.
LOL!! As algore says..."I'm serial!"
hahaha!
I think no matter the science (or lack there-of) behind this, we all benefit by eliminated the petro empire of the middle east.
The politics aside, we are dangerously heading toward far too much dependence on foreigners petro. While I'm for drilling domestically, I'm extremely for alternatives. Algae biodiesel is probably the best way to go, and if Conservatives can somehow get behind this with solid principle, we'll do far more to defeat the foundation of extreme thought than anything else. Perhaps that's just my opinion, but we can't let the money stay in the worst people's hand.
Lol, that might be "An Inconvenient Gore"!
LOL!
That's good!
‘The Chilling Stars’ was written with Danish scientist Henrik Svensmark who published a scientific paper, claiming cosmic rays cause clouds to form, reducing the global temperature.
Gee Lil'freeper, looks like that dumb westmichman may have been right. At least one scientist believes that clouds cause to earth to cool. But then I'm not a wise ex-teacher.

Says Sir John Houghton, for one:
"..human induced global warming is a weapon of mass destruction at least as dangerous as chemical, nuclear or biological weapons that kills more people than terrorism." ~ John Houghton Monday July 28, 2003
Global Warming Not a WMD - Friday , August 01, 2003 By Steven Milloy
"Get the butterfly net before you read this column. You won’t want to waste any time afterward.
“I have no hesitation in describing global warming as a weapon of mass destruction,” said a British climate scientist this week.
John Houghton, a former member of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, wrote in a July 28 commentary in the British newspaper The Guardian that human-induced climate change is at least as dangerous as “chemical, nuclear or biological weapons, or indeed international terrorism.” HERE
Likening global warming to terrorism, Houghton wrote “this weapon knows no boundaries. It can strike anywhere in any form -- a heat wave in one place, a drought or a storm surge in another. ..." [snip]
