Look, you haven't the faintest clue ... green house gasses ... heard that on fox news aye? Guess what? Water vapor makes up 98 % of those green house gasses, and since the planet is 70% water, it ain't going away.
Secondly, of the green house gasses, CO2 is such a miniscule part, it would barely show up as a thin line on a pie chart. Furthermore, 99.98 of that miniscule amount of CO2 comes from nature (read: not man's activities).
Now the real kicker ... global warming is not caused by green house gasses, and certainly not CO2 ... increases in CO2 levels are a RESULT OF global warming, and doesn't precede global warming.
And the real funny thing is that this increase in CO2 caused by global warming doesn't show up until 300 years after the warming period that caused it.
Educate yourself and quit regurgitating propaganda.
You are exactly right. And another thing - Co2 IS the lifeblood of the planet. How in the world have the alarmists gotten away with convincing people it is a poison?
So if the weather has nothing to do with global warming, then what is the reason why we are having such crazy weather?
There is nothing "crazy" about it. It is winter...there is lots of snow and ice in winter. Do you think weather patterns like this have never happened before?
What does it matter if global warming is true or not? Halting the rise of greenhouse gas emissions is just plain good for human beings. The release of carbon dioxide and other gases into cities is not good for our lungs and getting off our dependency on fossil fuels will help with our growing problems in the Mid East. Going green can also help our economy like the dot.com growth did in the past. It's a win-win and IF the scientists prove to be right, we're on track to slow down global warming. And IF they prove to be wrong, I see no downside to going green....unless you own stock in the oil companies.

The deniers cannot dispute a word of that. What the deniers will do, however, is pretend that greenhouse gases dont have ANY impact on climate change, rejecting science and decades of research in order to listen to Hannity/Beck/Limbaugh and the assorted circus freaks whose job it is to convince their flock that this is a political argument and not a scientific one.
As you can see from these responses, the flock does not need much motivation.
If you deny the science of climate change then you must deny that 9/11 was a terrorist attack and embrace conspiracy theories. The science is indisputable in both cases.

You know, quite honestly, no one can predict whether or not the rapid ice melt at the North Pole will not change the temperature of the conveyor currents in the Atlantic, but if it lowers this temperature, it can mean a very wide (and unpredictable) range of temperature changes and environmental changes all over the planet, and perhaps one will be weather extremes of colder/longer winters. Either way, with the interconnected nature of weather, one change will spawn hundreds of others. The severity of the changes and the impact to man have not even begun in earnest yet
And the fighting for sea rights between Russia/U.S./Canada has not kicked off just yet. Just let oil be discovered in these newly created shipping lanes in the Arctic (it will) and you will see the disputes for rights to drilling follow closely behind.
Just one of millions of changes to look forward to.
