Unexplained Leap In CO2 Levels
Cally writes "The Guardian is reporting that atmospheric CO2 concentrations have leapt by 4.5 ppm in the last two years. This raises the ugly possibility that the capacity of a large carbon sink (possibly the oceans) has been exceeded, and the worst-case scenario is that a tipping point has been reached and a runaway warming scenario is in progress. Quote from Dr. Piers Foster of Reading University: 'If this is a rate change, of course it will be very significant. It will be of enormous concern, because it will imply that all our global warming predictions for the next hundred years or so will have to be redone.'"
Why are environmentalist opposed to a scientific solution?
because 9 out of 10 environmentalists are wacked out nut jobs that are only minutes away from the looney bin.
environmentalist = lunatic. it has fit that definition for decades and is only getting worse.
Until the "earth first" groups of the world are disbanded and/or start acting like adults instead of college kegger parties the definition will stand.
Deny, deny, deny.

Modern conservatism is nothing more than the rationalization of greed, avarice, and self-interest.
The same generalization could be made for modern day liberalism being nothing more than the rationalization of laziness, lack of personal responsibility, and cowardidce. The only time you see one of those guys change their mind on an issue like CO2 levels is when John Kerry flies around in his private jet.

-Global warming deniers at this point are in the same class as creationists-
Not exactly, even if evolution from species to species can be proved which I'm not so sure that it can, cause and effect can be studied. For every effect there is a cause. So what is the first cause, or the cause without a cause? Where did matter and engery come from? Atheisim is just another religon that says man invented god instead of god invented man. So, for evolution, what was the first cause?
It should be pointed out the the USA ...
