Global warming my ass!

Bush and other Republicans JUST so that they can deny global warming! Well, you got a fine point there. In fact, for the vast majority of the earth's history, it was much warmer, like ten degrees fahrenheit, and had 5 times as much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as it does now. but, all those ancient forests you mention came along, and pulled so much CO2 out of the atmosphere that it couldn't decay back as fast as they converted it to carbohydrates, so vast quantities got buried during the carboniferous era. Hey, maybe that's why it's called the carboniferous era? And after a hundred million years, the CO2 in the air was where it is now (or where it was a hundred years ago, actually) and so was the temp. So, if we dig all that buried carbon back up and put it back in the air over the next century, there's no way it can affect the climate, right? * Who determines what the "perfect" global climate is? * Oh that's easy. Whatever climate happens as a random byproduct of big companies doing stuff to maximize profit without having to deal with the end/waste products, is perfect. Otherwise, you're a socialist and want to destroy the US. |
