wired.com — "It's no secret that the Earth is getting hot. A recent National Academy of Sciences study finds that the warming of the northern hemisphere in the last decades of the 20th century was unprecedented in the past thousand years."

At least someone is taking advantage of this...<a class="user" href="http://marilyncarolyn.blogspot.com/2006/06/evian-introduces-glacial-melt-premium.html">http://marilyncarolyn.blogspot.com/2006/06/evian-introduces-glacial-melt-premium.html</a>

How come no one ever mentions the largest component of the greenhouse gas equation? Water vapor."Water vapor is a natural greenhouse gas which, of all greenhouse gases, accounts for the largest percentage of the greenhouse effect. Water vapor levels fluctuate regionally, but in general humans do not produce a direct forcing of water vapor levels."<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas</a>

LOL. Prove that it makes a difference and I'll mod you up, 'bioshoker' (promise!). Entertain how one establishes a precedent without any insight into the past.

So, there were no Gulf of Mexico hurricanes before Al's "documentary"?I'd love to see the Global Warming cataclysmists pull their head out of Al's ass and check ALL the data before spewing even more unnecessary CO2 emissions.

@ WackyTIf it were a simple matter to figure out your "ROI", it would already have been done a long time ago. In the meantime, the default course of action in light of the fact that we know we are having SOME significant impact, regardless of how much, on this clearly detrimental climate change, should be to reduce CO2 emissions big time. Your line of thinking suggests we should consider ourselves innocent until proven guilty, but there's a good chance we are in fact guilty and if that's the case we'll be in deep s**t by the time we prove it. Even on the most conservative sensible estimate of your "ROI" I'd err on the side of caution and do what little it takes to reduce our impact.
