Quote by: TRIGGER  One thing that you haven't mentioned is that in the past 50 or so years that there has been an increase in volcanic activity and forest fires. When mt Penatubo went up in the 80's it pumped more poluntants in to the atmosphere than human activity could in 100 years in apx. 4 days. Back fifty or so years ago we used to manage our forests cleaning out the dead trees and clearing the floors of tinder making forests more vunerable to fire and taking away plants that use co2 for food. The environmentalists stoped this, do you think that these natural occurances may have something to do with the rise in co2? Also since the US has drasticly reduced our emissions why would you look to the US to cut more emittions instead of going after the 3rd world countrys like the former soviet block countrys that havn't done anything about their emmissions. If you want to change the emissions then all the countrys need to get on the wagon not just the prosperious one's. We could drasticaly reduce our emissions by changing our production of power from coal, oil, and natural gas to nuclear. With 0 co2 emissions and a possability of going to electric heat instead of oil and natural gas. Of corse this may also help to lower our dependancy on oil imports. |
