I concede we are in a warming trend but question the assumptions made, by so called scientists using flawed data, that human caused emisssions have a major affect on the warming trend!
I also abhor the alarmism used by the MSMedia and greedy entrepreneurs like Gore trying to sensationalize the uproven data for cash? |
Your minor is in Economics. Do you have a degree in Atmospheric Chemistry?
7000 million metric tons is a lot of carbon to be emitting into the atmospheric. Where do you think it all goes?
By and large the constituents of our atmosphere are diatomic. That means two. You can wiggle around a bit, but potential energy for diatomic molecules is comparatively less than triatomic molecules, which can wiggle around in many more ways. They store heat like a blanket and we're pumping 7000 million metric tons PER YEAR of carbon (usually -dioxide) into the atmosphere. That does stuff. It is doing stuff.
I think it's kind of cool that things do things. If things didn't do things I wouldn't see a reason for living.
