tell me your solution and why global warming is a bad thing
and you've yet to answer a simple question of why reducing annual CO2 emissions <1% will prevent GW
let me get this straight, you've been arguing this entire time that global warming is not real and you never bothered to find out what global warming entails? lololol.AWD > RWD

Co2 is a definite player in global temperature controls, look at our neighboring planets. To say it's not is non sense. But from what I have seen man made global warming is irrelevant. The amount of Co2 emitted from active volcanos is gargantuan. Maybe we should plug all those up?

<p>Volcanoes emit around 0.3 billion tonnes of CO2 per year. This is about 1% of human CO2 emissions which is around 29 billion tonnes per year.</p>
This seems like a huge amount of CO2, but a visit to the U.S. Department of Energy's Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) website (http://cdiac.ornl.gov/) helps anyone armed with a handheld calculator and a high school chemistry text put the volcanic CO2 tally into perspective. Because while 200 million tonnes of CO2 is large, the global fossil fuel CO2 emissions for 2003 tipped the scales at 26.8 billion tonnes. Thus, not only does volcanic CO2 not dwarf that of human activity, it actually comprises less than 1 percent of that value.

It seems as though your make-shit-up meter needs to be calibrated if you wish you use it as a tool to argue AGW.

The fossil fuels emissions numbers are about 100 times bigger than even the maximum estimated volcanic CO2 fluxes. Our understanding of volcanic discharges would have to be shown to be very mistaken before volcanic CO2 discharges could be considered anything but a bit player in contributing to the recent changes observed in the concentration of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere.

the fact, agreed to even by your side, is that man is an insignificant contributor to annual CO2 emissions

I don't have the knowledge to say either way (you should try using this line sometime), nor am I a firm believer in AGW (as I've said many a time when discussing this topic). I simply like to point out your and others horrendous understanding of what constitutes factual science and not skeptic-fueled propaganda. You've proven time and time again you barely understand the basic principles of scientific study yet you wish to include yourself in discussions which rely heavily on an understanding of those concepts. You need a helmet and reflective vest to play here old man, I'm done with you.

Excuse me if this has been discussed previously but I feel compelled to comment on the arguments on this page.
Talking about mankind's contribution to CO2 emissions-
The amount of CO2 we release may be a small fraction of the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, but this doesn't mean it should not be disregarded.
First thing to keep in mind. The majority of man-made CO2 emissions are from fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are actually CO2 that has been converted and stored in the ground, coal and oil that we burn are comprised of CO2 that was previously in the atmosphere a long time ago.
CO2 naturally cycles in and out of the atmosphere, the fact is that we are disturbing the natural process and pumping a considerable amount of CO2 into the atmosphere that was previously trapped in the ground.
Back to the subject of our contribution of CO2 being negligible-
It may seem negligible, but so does a change in average temperature of 1 degree Celsius doesn't it? Every 1 degree Celsius that the global average temperature rises has drastic effects on the entire planet. In fact an increase of average global temperature of just 6 degrees Celsius would mean the end of life on earth. Small change, massive and catastrophic effects.
Global climate change is upon us, how fucked we are is uncertain, but it is not too late to try and fix the situation.Different strokes for different folks.

Grow a pair and act like the adult you supposedly are.
Your side won't even admit there is any other side to the hypothesis of AGW (as opposed to theory). Even with the scarcity of evidence supporting AGW, and with peer reviews opposed to your side of the science you still are righteous and indignant when someone disagrees.“There is nothing government can give you that it hasn’t taken from you in the first place”
