I think humans do have some sort of effect on it. Although I think the scientists blow the effect way out of proportion there has to be something effecting it because you can't just pump that much CO2 into the atmosphere. Now there are MANY factors to global warming. People try to place the entire blame on humans. What about volcanoes and grass fires? I mean think before there was a fire department. Those fires would go on for years. Also what about volcanoes? They emit large amounts of CO2. Then there's that whole pattern in nature thing. Look at the record high temps. They all occur in patterns. The hurricane season goes in 40 years on 40 years off type of pattern from what I've heard. Also the climate is in a natural state of warming and cooling all the time. There were ice ages and times that it was way wamrer than it is now in Earth's past. My verdict is humans have some effect on global warming but nature is mostly to blame. |

Look at our past. There has been way warmer times and way cooler times. We only have 100 years of accurate temperature readings. Geologic records indicates that nature has a lot to do with warming and cooling the planet. Like you said it's been 200 years since we started using fossil fuels. This planet has been around well over 10 BILLION years. I'm not ruling out human causes but I do think it's highly overplayed.
@alternative fuels. Do you not understand how business works? Business is going to go with the cheapest way to put out as much as they can. Even with $70 a barrel oil it's still cheaper than alternative fuels. Developing countries don't have the overhead to invest that extra amount of money right now and remain competitive. Hey I agree with getting as many alternative fuels as we can out there. I highly support them and am actually thinking about some ideas that could help along with the process. I'm thinking about this device (it's been invented just supressed by the oil industry) that makes a v8 get upwards of 100mpg. If this invention could come out we wouldn't really make any radical switches. If cars coudl acheive that effeciency (which they can with this device) you could easily grow ethanol and use that for a fuel source. |

so oil is the cheapest way of producing energy?
right. and when we run out in 10 years (max. they reckon we're gonna reach peak oil between now and 2010). what are we gonna do? no transport. little or no communications (requires electricity which will be gone around the same time thanks to the depleting gas and coal reserves too...). and most of all, the one NO ONE ever reports: no food. seriously, if we can't fight world hunger now, with all the commodities oil brings, HOW THE HELL will we fight it when it's everywhere? since the 70's, oil IS food. and i just dare anyone to mention catch 22. come on, just try me!

Then someone will rise up with some sort of alternative energy and will make a ton of money. I bet you the oil industry will have some patents they covered up over the years that they'll release at the right time.
