I don't think anyone has EVER suggested that reducing CO2 is a be-all-end-all solution. It's part of an overall strategy. It seems like common sense to me that reducing our pollution is good for everything and everyone on the planet. Everyone benefits from cleaner air, you can't dispute that.
And saying that we don't have proof and should therefore not spend the money on it seems ridiculous to me. Saying that we don't have enough data, couldn't possibly effect the planet, etc, is just a cop-out to go on living any way you want. It seems very obvious to me that humans have an enormous effect on the environment. And no one disputes that the earth has cycles, warming trends etc. The difference between now and then is the speed at which it is occurring. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Stroz [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, December 21, 2008 8:56 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: global warming my eye At the risk of putting words in Sam's mouth. I _think_ what he is trying to say is that since we do not know what is causing the climate change, should we really be spending tons of money on a 'solution'? If you don't know the cause of the problem, how can you have a solution to it?
