FOX: Collapse of Chicago Climate Exchange Means a Strategy Shift on Global Warming Curbs - Polidicks

[QUOTE=ZekeTwo;25969587]How could you possibly interpret the chart in that manner? The sections are clearly colour-coded. Is Canada the green or the pink though? I can't tell where it's pointing.[/QUOTE] oh come on. anyone could have made the mistake that japan emits two times as much carbon as the US. The entire country would be enshrouded in a layer of smog as thick as cream.

[QUOTE=DanRatherman;25965342]Most scientists are pretty sure the climate change is partly due to human interactions with the environment. Of course, if you ask a large portion of politicians it's just a scam for more research money and we should all keep using lots of clean American oil that we bought from countries that hate us.[/QUOTE] Well, the consequence of not doing anything to reduce it if it is caused by man is much worse than the consequence of doing something if it isn't. Not to mention, an alternative energy could be very beneficial to whatever country produces it first.

Hasn't all the CO2 emissions humanity has made in it's entire existence equal to what Volcanoes and such pump out in a single year.

solution to all problems involving auto-mobiles such as dependance on foreign oil and CO2 emissions, buy a Tesla.

I actually have to agree with Warhol on this one. Humanity has pumped out shitloads of CO2 and other nasty things into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution. It is a natural cycle, however we are throwing it off balance.

Let the fires of humanity pave the way for the future.

I can't believe people still "believe" climate change is not human driven. In some cases they deny the climate is changing at all. Pls read actual scientific information and get off the News stations.
