Re: Responses Obfuscating My Position
None of this, of course, has a damn thing to do with the fact that Mr Gore and Mr bin Laden happen to both be speaking of a stark reality: all of our industrial and automotive effluvia are warming the planet and dropping the pH of the oceans. Buz and John, whether you like it or not, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.

It appears that the plants are loving it.
They are plants, Buz. That's what they breathe. Ask a coral how she likes increased CO2.

Re: Two peas in a pod
CO2 levels in the atmosphere in ages past have been much higher than they are now, when human population was non-existant! So blaming current climate-change fluxuations on the 5% man-caused CO2 seems to be quite a stretch.
CO2 was very much higher at times way in the geological past than it is now. Earth was a much warmer place than now at many of those high-CO2 times, too. And I still don't know what this "5%" you keep mentioning is supposed to be. The atmosphere currently has 36% more CO2 than it did in 1832, and over 20% more than it did in 1960.
Go see the well-footnoted article at Wikipedia if you want some leads: Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere - Wikipedia
The basic problem is that many at this forum don't believe God will take care of His first creation until He creates a new heaven and a new earth!
Isn't that alleged to be going to happen within the lifetimes of people who heard Jesus's words? Or at least really soon now?
