Showing off your ignorance again. Just because you don't know anything doesn't mean its nonexistance.
For a starter, take a read of this book:

Global Biogeochemical Cycles in the Climate System
By Ernst-Detlef Schulze
The interactions of biogeochemical cycles influence and maintain our climate system. Land use and fossil fuel emissions are currently impacting the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur on land, in the atmosphere, and in the oceans.This edited volume brings together 27 scholarly contributions on the state of our knowledge of earth system interactions among the oceans, land, and atmosphere. A unique feature of this treatment is the focus on the paleoclimatic and paleobiotic context for investigating these complex interrelationships.* Eight-page colour insert to highlight the latest research* A unique feature of this treatment is the focus on the paleoclimatic context for investigating these complex interrelationships.
Quote from jonnysharp:
Debating whether global warming is man-made or not is pointless. Whats important is that we become more efficient as a species and that means using re-newable, clean energy to power our needs.
We have 2 paths;
1) we conclude that global warming could well and truly not be man made therefore we should sit still and not worry because there is nothing we can do to stop this natural process anyway
or
2) we conclude that global warming could be man made and therefore we take the path of least regret and move towards cleaner sources of energy and a more environmental biased economy migating the risk that we are wrong in the above conclusion whilst becoming more efficient in our ways.
As a elitetrader I see the risk/reward being in conclusion # 2 -> the path of least regret.
Peace.

Quote from pattersb:
yes, and it's been explained that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause hurricanes.
the issue here is not whether or not man has an impact on the planet, it's more a revolution against the power grabbing by insatiable politicians.
OH HELP ME GOVERNMENT, THE RICH GUY DRIVING HIS SUV IS KILLING THE WORLD
Here's the thing, a big meteoriite pummeled the earth and killed all the dinosaurs, i think it can handle man driving their f'ing cars. The truly ironic thing about all this is, the energy companies will ultimately save the day, while Nancy Pelosis attends a faggot parade in San Franscico.
god i despise liberals.

its not pointless... the same people that funded al gore's junk science movie are the same ones that will be collecting the global carbon tax!!!
Quote from Arnie:
I can understand your frustration...........You can't post ONE study that proves GW is entirley anthropogenic. In fact, you can't even post ONE study that PROVES the rise in CO2 precedes warming.
my powers of memory on the other hand tell me thatQuote from fhl:
... My powers of telepathy are telling me right now that someone is finding a "study" proving that wind and solar are just as cheap as oil and coal, and that the only reason we stay with oil and coal is a massive conspiracy by evil people to get rich and ruin our lives at the same time.
