Damn. And nature did all that without man's help. Go figure.


In the current theory, the initial CO2 release occurred as a result of large volcanic activity in Siberia.

Now it is true that the industrial age of man has released quite a bit of CO2 already, but what would happen if a natural event, like a volcano, occurred? The combined effect of all these events could drive the planet's temperature higher which could melt permafrost and release oceanic methane hydrate which would make things even hotter.

Let's all stop listening to politicians and start listening to scientists. Currently greater than 95% of more than 10,000 peer reviewed scientists believe that the global warming is here, and that it's man made.

I suspect that is rubbish. I doubt that man's influence on the global
temperature is even measureable. The temperature was actually warmer when
the vikings were raiding the British Isles and as you might expect the sea level
was correspondingly higher. There have been numerous scholarly articles on
the climate of the earth for many years, and it would behoove you to study those
before exposing your ignorance of these matters. Here is a starter.

The irony of the political debate on this matter is that the earth is actually
entering into a cooling period which will result in another Ice age in about
12,000 years. Before that, and for the next few hundred years we will likely
have a repeat of the so-called mini-ice age from which we emerged 150 or so years
ago, which was believed to have been cause by a shutdown of the Atlantic conveyor.



On the flip side, a majority of these scientists believe that Kyoto is flawed. Kyoto is a failed political response to the problem identified by scientists.
