Trees, the ocean, humans breathing animals to. Lets not forget the sun, the clouds to. But cars, planes, refineries get all the blame how about the hot air coming out of Al Gores mouth

In the Earth's atmosphere

The Keeling Curve of atmospheric CO2 concentrations measured at Mauna Loa Observatory.Main article: Carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere
Carbon dioxide in earth's atmosphere is considered a trace gas currently occurring at an average concentration of about 385 parts per million by volume or 582 parts per million by mass. The mass of the Earth atmosphere is 5.14×1018 kg,[17] so the total mass of atmospheric carbon dioxide is 3.0×1015 kg (3,000 gigatonnes). Its concentration varies seasonally (see graph at right) and also considerably on a regional basis: in urban areas it is generally higher and indoors it can reach 10 times the background atmospheric concentration. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas.


Yearly increase of atmospheric CO2: In the 1960s, the average annual increase was 37% of the 2000-2007 average.[18]Due to human activities such as the combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation, the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by about 35% since the beginning of the age of industrialization.[19] Five hundred million years ago carbon dioxide was 20 times more prevalent than today, decreasing to 4-5 times during the Jurassic period and then maintained a slow decline with a particularly swift reduction occurring 49 million years ago.[20][21]

Up to 40% of the gas emitted by some volcanoes during subaerial volcanic eruptions is carbon dioxide.[22] It is estimated that volcanoes release about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere each year. Carbon dioxide is also produced by hot springs such as those at the Bossoleto site near Rapolano Terme in Tuscany, Italy. Here, in a bowl-shaped depression of about 100 m diameter, local concentrations of CO2 rise to above 75% overnight, sufficient to kill insects and small animals, but warm rapidly when sunlit and disperse by convection during the day.[23] Locally high concentrations of CO2, produced by disturbance of deep lake water saturated with CO2 are thought to have caused 37 fatalities at Lake Monoun, Cameroon in 1984 and 1700 casualties at Lake Nyos, Cameroon in 1986.[24] However, emissions of CO2 by human activities are currently more than 130 times greater than the quantity emitted by volcanoes, amounting to about 27 billion tonnes per year.[25]

the sun does not increase CO2. Thanks for playing.

Do us all a favor, Bob and run a generator in your bedroom tonight and then tomorrow you can tell us all about how harmless combustion gasses are...

Again Brother Plumber the question is not whether intense does of CO are dangerous, but whether emissions are responsible using scientific analysis for "global warming". And according to Oregon Petition signees, the jury is still out. The truth. :thumbsup:

Why isit the globe is actually cooling, the arctic and antartic ice is increasing. The sun is the greatest cause of global warming.

If it's dangerous, putting it in the atmosphere is not good. Period.

I don't give an "F" if it's responsible for warming or cooling. Doesn't matter. It's bad sh*t, lets stop pumping billions of cubic feet a day of the crap into the air for our grandkids to breath. I'm not waiting for a jury to determine whether or not screwing up the planets environment is good for my children. I don't need a study to figure out that white foam and plastic bags in the creek behind my house is disgusting and bad.

there are 4 "facts" in that statement and only 1 is even close to accurate. 3 are outright wrong.

this country could save billions on treating asthma alone. how about the fact we are involved in 2 wars in the world's oil/natural gas center?

there are about a million reasons why cutting green house gasses are a good idea... the only reason not to do it is if your livlihood involves importing, processing, selling this fuels. The only downside is if your job depends on it.

in other words, there is no downside. get a real job that doesn't mortgage the future of the nation.

you conservatives are supposed to love America. Doesn't seem that way sometimes.

Being against these things is yet another contradiction in the neo-con sphere of consciousness.

If you are not in favor of making the planet safer and more livable, how the hell can you pretend to be "pro-life?" If you have such a respect for human life, wouldn't you want America's children to breathe the cleanest air possible and have the cleanest drinking water?

If you are against reforming how we pay for health care, how the hell can you claim to be "pro-life?" If you have such a respect for human life, wouldn't you want your fellow Americans to all have decent, affordable health care?

The hypocrisy of the liberal- worry about the air children breathe, but not until they are out of the womb. :rolleyes:

And how will you make the Chinese adhere to these policies? Do you hate American companies that much that you will put them at a competitive disadvantage based upon questionable science?

And BTW, no one is advocating the pollution of rivers and the environment. In fact if you look at scenes from the thrid world, the polution there is horrific. Did you not see "Slumdog Millionaire"? There is a thing called the Jet Stream. What is there is here. Fixing things here will be like throwing a deck chair off the Titanic- not going to keep it afloat.

What happened to the American spirit?

We used to believe we could accomplish anything in this country. Kennedy said during his inaugural that we would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. He didn't know how we were going to do it. He didn't understand a lick of the science behind it. What happened?

When did we become a defeatist nation? When did our mantra go from "we can do anything" to "we can't do that?"

Did I miss a meeting or something? I thought we were Americans damnit.

We became defeatist when we elected Obama and the "Blame America" crowd and "Citizens of the World". took over Washington. The unfortunate truth. :nono:

You know what's funny? In 37 plus years on this planet I have yet to meet a single person who is "pro-abortion."

I've met plenty of people who are in favor of giving a woman the RIGHT to chose what she can or can not do with her own body, but I've never met anyone in favor of aborting babies for sport the way the "pro-life" crowd claims they are.

Ideally, we should be working to reduce the number of abortions by promoting responsibility and safe sex.

No, neo-con Republitards and hardcore loony-leftists have been this way for quite some time.

It's always the other guy's fault with you people.

Well I speak for the growing majority in the middle when I say both sides better get their houses in order and right quick.

Oh, and moron, I guess Ronald Reagan hated America because he called himself a "Citizen of the World" in a speech to the UN in 1982 - TRUTH.

Yes they are. Extracting fossil fuels and burning them always results in waterway pollution.

Obama is not even in the same area code as Ronald Reagan.
