I knew that "If global warming is real" sentence would catch someone, I figured it would be Larry too. I agree that the earth is warming, what I don't agree with is the cause. Mother Earth releases more greenhouse gases than we do as humans, period. The amount of fossil fuel we burn creates a miniscule amount of Greenhouse gases compared to what the Earth releases itself.

Then what does the American Academy of Sciences think that it is. What does the Bush Administration and the EPA think that it occurring. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A55031-2002Jun3.html To quote the article: Impact of Climate Change Outlined EPA Report Blames Humans, Prescribes Voluntary Measures By John Heilprin Associated Press Tuesday, June 4, 2002; Page A02 The Bush administration has outlined significant environmental impacts from climate change, possibly within decades, in a report to the United Nations. But the administration stood firm on its plans to address heat-trapping "greenhouse" pollution by urging voluntary measures and avoiding the Kyoto climate treaty. For the first time, the administration laid most of the blame for recent warming on human actions, pointing to fossil fuel burning that releases carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere, according to the report released by the Environmental Protection Agency. "The changes observed over the last several decades are likely mostly due to human activities, but we cannot rule out that some significant part of these changes is also a reflection of natural variability," the report says. The contents of the paper, submitted to the United Nations, were first reported yesterday by the New York Times. The report also says that despite some lingering scientific uncertainties, "there is general agreement that the observed warming is real and has been particularly strong within the past 20 years." Last year, the White House described climate change as a serious issue after consulting the National Academy of Sciences, but it was undecided about how much of the problem should be blamed on human activities. President Bush favors a climate plan with voluntary measures that would seek to slow the rate of growth in gas emissions but also would allow them to continue rising. He opposes regulating carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, unlike legislation sought by Sen. James M. Jeffords (I-Vt.), chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, and some Democrats. -- What is really laughable is the voluntary emissions program. If its done the same way as what the then Governor Shrub set up the voluntary program for air pollution in Texas, then we would be seeing a really large increase in greenhouse gases in the next couple of years. larry -- Larry C.
