Hypocrites from the Left, Right, and Middle
Well, we all are hypocrites to some degree, which is precisely why the Christian ethos tells us not to judge one another. But I digress.
As far as political leftists who have made contradictory statements, a few come to mind.
Obama made a speech a couple of months back about SUV's and how impractical they are, as well as a danger to the environment. But then after the speech he was seen getting in to one and driving off in to the sunset.
Then you have the whole Iraq war where 2/3 majority of the Democratic Senate voted in favor of the proposal to oust Saddam. It was only later that they changed their tune.
There. I've met the objective. Now where's my prize?

"Somewhere at the back of my father's mind, at the bottom of his heart, in the depth of his soul, there was an empty space that had once been filled by God and he never found anything else to put in it... At the centre of me is always an eternally terrible pain - a curious wild pain - a searching for something beyond what the world contains." -Bertrand Russell

Re: Here's Another.
CO2 to the system at an ever increasing rate, and you come up with more and more CO2 that can not be obsorbed.
I think there might be some misunderstanding here. CO2 accounts for roughly 10% of the greenhouse gases. And as Buz has stated, plants need this to live. Besides, every time you exhale CO2 is emitted in the atmosphere, as a waste product of metabolized oxygen. This makes up the reciprocal nature between plants and animals. We supply them CO2 and they supply us with oxygen.
I'm assuming an argument over anthropogenic global warming is afoot, so perhaps you aren't meaning carbon dioxide, but rather, carbon monoxide (CO).

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt
