You are correct in a lot of areas. All kinds of "gunk" is bad. Less "gunk" is good. CO2, however, IS NOT "GUNK"!

I guess I should continue to smoke then. My doctor will be so relieved.



mlurp posted some good sites. Allow me to quote from one you may be more familiar with:

Consumption is indeed important in a free economy: particularly the freedom of consumers to buy their goods in unhampered markets. However, key to long-term economic growth is investment (savings), which is the opposite of consumption. Public policies that promote consumption — such as low interest rates — do so at the expense of savings. Less savings means less investments; an economy that does not save or invest will consume all of its resources and eventually end up bankrupt.-David Saied

Your right we are wasting all of our money on the environment, never mind the $1.3 trillion war in Iraq. Bill Clinton put into effect great environmental policies and our economy was great and he lowered our national debt. George Bush completely counteracted those policies, is putting trillions of dollars into a meaningless war, giving huge tax cuts for the rich and oil companies and now look at our economy, but you're right it's because of environmental protection policies that our economy is screwed. And FYI we aren't complying with Kyoto. Don't worry about the extinction of animal species due to environmental degradation, don't worry about the overall demise of our fragile planet just worry about your big oil producing companies. Humans aren't the only species on this planet we just act like it. Mikeyy is completely right environmental policies and research into renewable energy creates jobs and will boost the economy.

Thank you saltwn, I also prefer the one with all the pictures to express the idea something is happening and faster than anyone thought. The funny thing is today new evidence was released on the Antarctic ice shelve that holds back the glacier that would cause oceans to rise. I sure hope others check this out.Only 5 more quick reads with pictures/video. The last site is where each other comes from as it has the links in the story. Click the pictures to enlarge them. And I tought the Blue Men would entain each of the membership.. What with twice the numbe saying they believe in it being man made.

Note the scale and size of this collapse.

I used Google Earth (today) to get this into Infaview and loaded up to photobucket. I hope I got the correct spot.

What puuuuurty pictures we have in the posts before this one...

Nice way to get people to believe in emotions rather than facts...

Hey they say a picture is worth a thousand words, right. I don't care how it is caused. And in the many othe rposts I have many links in I present both sides o fthe blame game. But reality is that it is happening. But didn't you car efor the Blue Man video? I like it too.
BUT... You are entitled to your own opinion.

I shall try to refute you some more at a later time. Only because I have shown all I can find over time on the subject. And also because if one shows to much many get turned off of the situarion in the long run. Have at it... lol

And thanks for at least looking at the pictures (and not seeing the reality of the situation.) Have A Nice Day. Stay dry.

Very nice points Josh. Thanks for the thoughts and speaking your mind.

Thanks saltwn.

Down, but not Out!
In mid-February we experienced a terrorist-like Denial of Service Attack on our website that rendered it inaccessible to patrons. Unfortunately, the company that managed our website was unable to stop the attack, and we had to make the decision to host our website elsewhere. Moving our website to another server is not a simple task and must take place in stages. For now, only the current weekly issue of CO2 Science will be accessible, followed by a gradual return to full website access and functionality in the coming days and weeks.

For those of you awaiting the release of our DVD Carbon Dioxide and the Climate Crisis, which was advertised on our website shortly before the attack began, that wait will continue for an undetermined amount of time. We apologize for the inconveniences caused by the website attack and our subsequent server move. We hope you will continue to support our efforts and visit us often.

Update
We now anticipate that most of our website will be back online by the first week of April, and perhaps earlier. Please check back again soon.

Threats to Amazonia: Natural and Otherwise: If people do not directly mess with the tropical forest biome, it should do just fine over the coming decades and centuries.

Medieval Warm Period Record of the Week
This issue's Medieval Warm Period Record of the Week comes from the Permafrost Regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. To access the entire Medieval Warm Period Project's database, click here.

Subject Index Summary
Roman Warm Period (Europe - Central): How did its warmth compare with that of the Current Warm Period?

Plant Growth Data
This week we add new results (blue background) of plant growth responses to atmospheric CO2 enrichment obtained from experiments described in the peer-reviewed scientific literature for: Alfalfa, Barnyardgrass, Phaeocystis, and Spring Wheat.

Journal Reviews
Six Centuries of Drought in the Uinta Mountains of Utah (USA): What do the data reveal about the impact of 20th-century global warming on droughts of this region?

Greenhouse Gas Reporting
Since 2001, our organization has provided companies with professional assistance in filing greenhouse gas (GHG) reports with the U.S. Voluntary Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Program (Section 1605(b) of the Energy Policy Act of 1992). We hope that others of you will also turn to our Center for your GHG reporting needs. Together, we can help you prepare an accurate, complete, consistent, relevant and transparent accounting of your emission and sequestration activities.

Tell Your Friends!
When was the last time you referred someone to the Center's website? We challenge you to introduce two new people to CO2 Science each week. More...
