Truthfully, I'm asking this mostly to give my answer.


I think their scientific arguments are strained and that the real reasons are:

Some people are very opposed to collective international actions and government control, as a philosophy. They want individual actions guided by the free market. This is not always wrong, but it is not helpful in dealing with enormous problems that actually need collective international solutions and government control.


Global warming is a huge problem that will require money and lifestyle changes from us well before we are personally damaged by it. It's very human to prefer to simply deny it's happening. People do things like that all the time.


I continue to believe the scientific arguments made by global warming critics are refuted by both hard scientific data and the opinion of knowledgeable people. But hopefully I'll be a little less self-righteous and more understanding when I say so.


Please deepen my understanding by answering.

I just read that 1 kg of fossil fuel burnt produces 3 kg of carbon dioxide. The reason given was simple - 1 carbon atom is combined with 2 oxygen atoms. I don't understand this - can someone please explain it to me? Thanks.

I'm sitting at my computer in front of a window, and I see a small flash of yellow/green light go by. I live in the middle of nowhere in southern ohio where there is 10 inches of snow on the ground. Is it really possible that it was a lightning bug? That's what it looked like, but I don't think they can survive the cold. Any answers?

In America we start wars in order to claim oil deposits in oil rich nations around the globe. Oil necessary to sustain our way of life. Everyone drives in America and all vehicles require oil to run. Even electric ones run off of electricity generated by coal power. On top of which we are the Earths LARGEST Contributor to global climate thanks to all the hydrocarbons spewed into the air both directly by us as well as indirectly.

Guys, just because you love your big houses in the cul de sac. Houses that required around 100 trees to be chopped and enough fuel for your lifestyle to power a small town in the Netherlands. Does it make it OK? Just because you like your goods and services does it justify the expense to the Earths well being?

Don't you guys realize what your doing here? Don't you know that all the pruducts you buy required tons of oil and pollution? Can any of you at all grasp the amount of damage that Wal Mart is causing for the whole world?Dothemeansjustifytheends

Should we really cut the branch we're sitting on, metaphorically speaking?

Much more attractive and creative alternatives come to mind.

Reduction of CO2:
*Storing CO2 underground by pumping it there.
*Filtering CO2 from the air with chemicals
*Grow biomass to use up CO2 (fertilize oceans)
*Use chemicals to turn CO2 into limestone

Reduction of energy from sun
*Increase albedo by seeding clouds
*Put a mirror into space (orbit)

What gives?

I mean really they talk all this Cr@p about family values then they scoff at scientific evidence of global warming. They want unregulated factories and oil production, coal burning, Nuclear waist. They get their way our children will be praying in public schools that they had clean air to breath water to drink, and they didn't all have Cancer.
