I’m sorry it just makes me want to puke. When I was growing up the scientists were worried about the impending Ice age, that was BS too. Now we need to blame humanity for this fairy tale. Well I want to post my point and I’m not even going to make up my own ka-ka. I’ll just use the evidence the weirdo’s provided me. I grew up in central Illinois and I’ve seen the evidence and it’s undisputable. Huge swings in temperature are a natural phenomenon on earth they have been forever and forever will be. These things happened long before man harnessed fire. Go to this site and read what I’ve known all along. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2008/09/10/illinois-coal-mines-produce-a-new-valuable-deposit-fossilized-rainforests/ I suppose it was caused by aliens right? Because it just couldn’t be a natural occurring phenomenon on earth. And it happened before we invented fire. Hell we weren’t even monkeys according to the weirdo’s. Damn it was hot!!! Oh and checkout the Mammoth!! Damn it was cold!!! My son Ike came home from school talking about the misinformation being spread around schools in the USA as if it is proven fact.

CO2 is a natural, necessary gas, and also a slightly warmer planet does mean, eventually, a very warm planet. In my opinion, and apparently not many others, the real problem is the question of planetary stability vs. human population. We need to talk about this more. The planet is and will continue to change, however if we do not control our numbers this whole thing, Earth, will fall apart. Paul and Frank you’re are both right, in a way.

We won’t become Venus, but a slightly warmer planet will (and is) causing desertification, famine, wars over water, displaced populations,
and a host of other wrongs.

Levels have been way higher in the past and the planet did not turn into Venus. Doesn't everyone understand that a slightly warmer planet is a good thing. Do you know how tough life will get if it gets colder? Absolutely insane. I agree this is all a waste of money Carbon Dioxide is a necessary gas for plant growth.
