You're denial adds pollution to an already over polluted world. Let's approach global warming and climate change from a different angle. Do you believe that pollution over the last 50 years has increased, due to population increases and industrial, real estate, and technology advances. If so, do you think that increases in pollution can cause problems? If pollution exits and is a problem, do you believe it should be eliminated, or at least minimized, and how do you assess the expense you are willing to pay for a cleaner earth? http://www.blurtit.com/q800737.html Regards, LelandJ approaching > >> >> Talks continue in Copenhagen on an agreement to curb >> greenhouse gases, which contribute to global warming.
