AAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

This article made my day! in the 70s we were going to cool the planet to an ice age because of pollution. then in the 80's we are told that global warming is coming because of pollution.. This article just proves how much scientists (and sheep....... errr, i mean people) don't know...
One thing is for sure... The galactic equinox is coming up.. Coincidence that its getting warmer? Get ready for the ride, kids.

This whole thing about pollution is making me sick! We need to rebalance CO2 to what it was 50 years ago and start using hydrogen or ethanol. Those so called "scientists" need to start looking at the future, not the past. As Kickstand27 said, those scientists don't know, and the next generation of people have to deal with their mistake.

People of the future will laugh at us. Whether it's because we thought we could do something about global warming, or because we were so slow to understand and react to it properly. I just hope I'll get to laugh with them...

I agree with all you guys, to blame all our problems on CO2 is the same narrow mind thinking that we had in the 80 with the aerosol cans. we thought that getting rid of them would save the ozone and therefore the planet. I can think of many others (recycling paper anyone ?). They can't even predict this afternoon weather right! I agree the climate is changing but to concentrate all our effort on CO2 is just going to make miss the whole picture once again.

It is too bad that a lot of really ignorant people are going to completely misunderstand these findings and use them to argue against environmental initiatives.

We have done a lot over the past 50 years to reduce the amount of ash and soot being pumped into the atmosphere and we are certainly better over for it. But, because we have also been pumping invisible greenhouse gases into the atmosphere our now clearing skies and going to trap heat even more efficiently. We certainly cannot go back to pumping crap into the sky to block sunlight so instead we are going to have to double our efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Tombomo1 would be funny if he wasn't sad. I hate to burst your bubble, but burning ethanol generates just as much CO2 as burning fossil fuels. More so actually, when you account for the fact that for the same amount of carbon burned with ethanol as the source instead of hydrocarbons, you get less energy. So for ethanol fuel in cars you generate more CO2 per mile than with straight gasoline. But then, nobody said enviro's could think.

The purpose of Ethanol fuel is to break away from the worlds dependence on Oil Companies. It has less to do with saving the environment.

I really have a problem with ethanol. A lot of people don't realize that fossil fuels are burnt in the production of ethanol. They also don't realize that ethanol is far less efficient that petroleum products (like thesceptic said). True it may reduce the dependence on oil, yet at what cost? At just about any gas station I fill up at, I recieve E85 which makes me think about the profit margins in gasoline sales. I understand gas is expensive because crude oil has skyrocketed but I'm only getting 15% real gasoline. Another problem is that the world is going through a food crisis that is overlooked becaused the industrialized West has other issues to worry about ie rising gas prices. Its incredible how the price of rice has more than doubled in one year (has increased something like 250% over the past 6 years but don't quote me on that one) yet little is done about that. It is not only rice that has increased so exponential, but also wheat and corn. Take what you want from it, but corn farmers recieve subsudies to grow corn that will be used for ethanol production...

Thanks
Global climate is changing for the worse does not always make for the better

People shouldnt stop worrying about their CO2 emissions, its still a problem regardless.

The thing is, all this is meant to happen sooner or later anyway. There is nothing we do can stop it, but we can help it all go smoother.

The Earth has cycles, we have no control over that. The only thing we have control over is how we deal with it. We can either help with the solution to make it happen smoothly or be part of the problem.

Cutting back on CO2's can only be a good thing. Conservation can only be a good thing. Whatever happens after that is meant to happen.

P.S. Why ethanol or other "fuels" when they can use salt water with no emissions? Salt water is free and we have plenty of it ;o)
