If such information as you speak of exists and is valid, you may depend on it that it has been considered by the IPCC – who, unlike climate-change scoffers, have to take all the data into account, not just the ones that suit their thesis.

You do realize right that our current climate is what enabled us to evolve to humans, that our bodies are designed to live in this climate? You do realize that warming and cooling are meant to happen over thousands of years not hundreds? That's how natural warming and cooling work... much longer spans of time. Rapid warming or cooling throws the weather patterns out of whack and before we get to the warm point we can't survive (in another 100-200 years) we will have spent quadrillions of dollars in the attempt.
Also, what the hell are you talking about with farmers adding CO2 to their greenhouses? They do not. CO2 levels rise because the clear material (glass or now more likely plastic) allows solar radiance in but then traps the heat, and the more CO2 is trapped the hotter it gets. That's the whole greenhouse effect, and you have the nerve to call other people stupid? Do you even understand what the greenhouse effect is?edit on 17-3-2013 by Kali74 because: (no reason given)

I do not deny climate change. I challenge the assertion that co2 and man are solely responsable.

Option #4 Mankind has a small impact, and is not solely responsable.
You do understand the word solely ?edit on 17-3-2013 by rockymcgilicutty because: (no reason given)

anyone who says mankind is solely responsible doesn't understand the issue. I don't think any credible sources are claiming that. I'm not making that argument.
if mankind is having any impact ;
it would be smart to reverse the impact before it is too late
we should stick our heads in the sand and pretend it's not happening

not necessarily, particularly if it is negligible

Global warming. Stinks of double speak so you do not argue about pollution. You cannot debate that our industrialization is causing GREAT harm to us and our earth. You can debate global warming. This has more to do with diverting the issue to one that can debated and not get anything done but have a left right debate.
Stop falling for this crap people! Keep your eye on the ball. Cancer rates and environmental toxins are so high it is killing massive amounts of life in the oceans and the land. We cannot keep doing this. The global warming issue is a stall tactic until they have you in full control...and dumbed down enough to not understand the game that is being played upon you.

I honestly never heard of anyone adding CO2 to a greenhouse, I suppose for commercial gardening/farming maybe it's needed to kickstart rapid growth. It happens all on it's own though so I don't see a need for it. I also know that CO2 is good for plants, I never stated it was a pollutant, just that we are producing too much of it as well as other greenhouse gases and it's causing global warming. And FYI you do stop just short of calling people stupid, that isn't a projection.
