Re: CO2 Emissions:
All who believe that CO2 emmisions are dangerous and should be eliminated, are you suggesting that we should eliminate the human race? After all humans do emit a lot of CO2. With respect to thermal pollutions Al Gore will not attack the worse source of thermal pollution - air conditioning (and his Tennessee mansion is assumed to be ACed. Just check the atmospheric heat budget changes of any major city in the lower 48 and HI over the last 70 years. Cheers, Al |

Quote:
The macro carbon cycle is the cycle where carbon dioxide get trapped in the bottom of the ocean and gets pushed underground where it is either converted into coal or oil or gets shot back up by a volcano. This cycle takes hundreds of thousands or even millions of years to fluctuate. The reason burning coal and oil is dangerous is because we are taking the carbon cycle out of equilibrium and by doing that, consequences regarding the climate will follow. Climate change does happen naturally but by changing the carbon cycle, we are causing throwing other variables in there that are not usually counted for.
