Re: Global Warming - I love that it's finally getting attention

You refer to H2O being a potent GHG – you do know that H2O
is not a gas but water…right?  Do you
mean N2O?  Let me provide some factual
data points that will be helpful…CO2 is on the low end in terms of potency
however, we produce more of it by a huge factor than any of the other GHG – CH4,
N2O, SF6, HFC – these are all much more potent than then CO2 and need to be
watched as well – however, these would not be “noise.”  

I find it interesting that you use the word “religion” of
those that believe there is a direct connect. 
I really don’t think it’s so much a “religious belief I have but rather
a realization that there is too much mounting evidence to support the reality
of the dramatic change we’re heading into to.  You casually say in effect, that you don’t
care about 5 degree or even a 20 degree change…5 degrees would translate into
mass devastation that we would all feel regardless of where you live or your
social or financial standing.  We don’t
have pictures to view but we do have core samples which can provide every bit
of evidence of photo would.  What is
happening now is not part of a cycle but rather our direct effect from our consumption
thus producing these GHG – some more dangerous than others but all having the
same effect.  

I say, error on the side of caution…if you’re not an expert,
don’t dismiss something as important as our planet and the direct effect we “may”
be having on it which “might” impact the lives of MILLIONS and “might” have a
negative lasting legacy that we leave to our kids and generations to follow…

Fossil Fuels – will eventually be gone – they are not
renewable and there for it is a matter of time – if they had not effect on our
lives – than I’d be in line to get a huge SUV and say, it really doesn’t matter
– at some point we’ll have another form of energy to power our 8000 pound
trucks to carry about 200 pounds to the grocery store.

I’m so adamant because your argument can be very dangerous.  People ultimately believe what they want to
believe and with that which fits into their lives the easiest.  If we don’t ALL take some steps- you may just
get to see that 5 degree increase after all…
