May 30th 2008 12:02PM So, now water vapor (H20) needs to be stopped? Dry up the oceans? Please....
Honestly, back to CO2. Did you know that the heat retention effect of CO2 decreases per unit of CO2 as the total concentration of CO2 increases? Or that at 430 ppmv CO2, we at top of the curve where further increases will only have a insignificant effect?
Oh yeah... what percentage of the total increase in CO2 is man-made?

May 30th 2008 11:55AM I am looking at a little longer record that a mere 500 kiloyears.
Why not come up to speed on the truth about global warming with a layman's guide at http://junkscience.com/Greenhouse/guide.html
Dispel all that Al Gore BS from your thinking (Did you know the UK courts found that he intentionally distorted facts or lied in his movie?). All those disaster stories are based on the assumption that the warming is stoppable and that is based on the assumption that the warming is man-made.
BTW, which is worse? A cold world or a warm world? Considering Peak Oil is a handful of years away, I am not sure I want to face a cold world at all! If you mother is in the Northeast US, you should be more worried how she is going to afford to heat her house this winter.
Oh yeah, I am a former atmospheric scientist and the consensus does not exist.

May 30th 2008 11:53AM Right you are... if a major load of particulates were injected into the upper atmosphere - usually by a volcano or a nuclear - we would and do see a slight cooling effect for a couple of years.
HOWEVER.... there has been no such load injected into the upper troposphere that would account for the downturn in the global temperature. Especially the drop in the last 12 months.
On top of all this, the sun reached it's lowest output in the 11-yr solar cycle last year and still has not turned back on, but that is too recent to make much of a difference in the past 10 yrs and according to Al Gore and his friends, the sun does not have much influence on the global temperature
So, despite the increase in CO2, the planet is cooling. Amazing, huh?

May 30th 2008 10:11AM @dj-kenpo: Your command of the English language is simply stunning.
Riddle me this, batboi, if the peak of the mega-fauna and mega-flora age was when CO2 was 10 times higher then it is now and the Earth was not a burning hell the Global Warmers like to predict, what is the real game the politicians and policy-makers playing?
I, for one, do not welcome our new over-lards.

May 30th 2008 8:27AM Actually, we can. Do a little original research instead of listening to Al Gore. Start with www.junkscience.com.
Oh, btw, if CO2 is increasing, how to you explain that for the past 10 years, temp has been decreasing?

May 29th 2008 9:25PM Very little electricity in the US is generated using oil.
Coal is a great way to generate electricity and the US has lots of it. The new plants are nearly pollutant free (CO2 is plant food, not a pollutant).
