Quote from dougcs:

I said earlier GW IS a serious issue; apparently you automatically thought I thought GW was not serious as I thought Kyoto was a joke.

They are two very different issues. GW is SERIOUS and KYOTO is a joke. Do you now understand my position? It is hard to believe GW is taken as a serious issue unless and until a treaty emcompasses all major emitters.

BTW-today's headline, China will emit more green house gases than the US by 2009!!! China is EXEMPT from Kyoto; ergo that is why I think that treaty is a joke.

Don't post comments on other peoole's posts unless you first read them.

Quote from Nihilanth:

Human activities contribute far more greenhouse gases than volcanoes.

The 1991 pinatubo eruption cooled the Earth for a few years afterwards (due to aerosols, not greehouse gases). Volcanoes haven't contributed to the recent global warming.

in any case, shall we keep volcanos liable? i guess they could
happily exist without us ...
it is OUR contribution that is the problem, since i assume that
volcano activity has not been changing that dramatically over
recent decades ...
