That proof doesn't come from climatologists, that comes from historians... if there's any left.

Wait, back up. Go get a 16-ounce jar of peanut butter or whatever out of your pantry, and weigh it in your hand. You think you produce almost a full pound of feces a day?

If you change blueboy's "poo" to "pee and poo," then well over a pound a day is a good estimate.
And with the very correct numbers (and their certain increase) he mentions, then we are totally fucked no matter the climate does or why.

The problem is the computer models cannot prove or disprove climate change is man-made. And it is not even that they need to prove if it is happening or not, it it proving that carbon dioxide, the stuff that makes plants grow, is the cause of it.

Until we know it is happening, and more importantly know what it is causing it, anything we do to slow/halt/reverse it is just an unnecessary tax/control against an economy that does not have the money to spend.

Also Google "Climategate" and "Steve McIntyre" to get a start on a lot of views that say, "we don't have any proof. We are just now learning more about Climate and how we affect it."
Shall we move the conversation over here?

No, that's not what I meant. I did use your link to get to the end of the thread, where conversation may be continued, so, thanks.

Sorry to bring up the climate change in this thread. It just gets my blood pressure up that people threaten me with a carbon tax that each time I see it mentioned I cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

I posted my reply in the suggested thread.
