If you shut down every factory, grounded every plane, banned all gas-burning vehicles, stopped all outdoor fires, found a way to stop all farts, planted a zillion trees, recycled, conserved on energy, or took any and all measures to keep our atmosphere clean, the Earth would still continue to warm-up. Global Warming is real, but it began BEFORE the Industrial Revolution and was not caused by Man. Do a search on The Little Ice Age...start with wikipedia, but don't stop there. The Earth has been warming for over 150 years.
Let me make it clear that all of the above measures, to some degree, would be good for us. But when people like Al Gore And Leonardo DiCaprio make false claims, ie: gas-guzzling vehicles are to blame for Global Warming, they are perpetrating a lie. For someone like Gore, it would be to further his political career. For DiCaprio, well, maybe it's just THE hot issue of the day.
But the problem is this: If they called it what it really is, which is an attempt to clean-up our Earth, then that would be something else. But when they blame people and industries and entire countries for doing something that is really a Natural occurance, they can affect lives and jobs and entire industries. What they're doing is just not honest.
So, Roberts, all those polluting chemicals are bad for us, but the Earth will continue warming into the unforeseeable future with them, or without them.

Yes, factories are releasing lots of chemicals and polluting, but they aren't the cause of global warming. Do you honestly believe the planet's climate stayed the same for thousands of years, until humans came along with factories for less than a millisecond of geological time? No, there have always been and will always be fluctuations. We don't have enough data. All our faulty ways of estimating temperature over a thousand years are truly faulty, but there are contradictory proofs which show that the Earth wasn't in a cooling trend. Besides, even a thousand years of accurate temperature data is like taking measurements over an hour and using it to predict how weather is going to be this winter. See here for more information on faulty "proof" of global warming and proof it's natural.

Anyhow, I have yet to see someone disprove the idea that it's the sun.
Proof of solar warming:

You want more, mail me, I'll provide it. Or simply Google "jupiter warming"/"saturn warming"/"triton warming." These are a small selection of articles I have read and seen out there.

Carbon credits is the new concept of fighting pollution and global warming..very interesting and should go a long way .You want to put carbon monoxide into the air, you must obtain carbon credits first from someone who takes carbon monoxide out of the air, for example someone who plants forests and has credits for sale.
No carbon credits, no factory...

Global warming is likely really climate change and is beyond the control of humans. However, we really don't know the truth yet. Global warming is no more than a theory that has no real proofs, not even much circumstantial evidence.
Ignore the panic mongers who use scare tactics to force people to follow their politically motivated course.

You don't and can't save the earth.
It will do the job itself. Man will be long
gone before we feel any real effect from
global warming. The concept of global
warming was generated so people with
money can ask the government for more
money to combat this so called problem.
"For the sake of generations to come."
Don't you just love that mushy sentiment.
What's really happening is the planet is
repolarizing itself. Don't believe me,
go research it.

global warming is pretty much still a theory , the possiblity of it occuring in the next 4-5 hundred years are only 8%
i say to hell with global warming seriously
it doesnt do anybody any bit of good worrying about it
