Global Warming and Carbon Issues
There is no doubt that many of the comments made in the article are quite relevant, however I take issue with the Carbon Emissions position. There is no question that the Human Race is contributing to the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, however in comparison to the amount of carbon NATURE contributes, in the form of volcanic eruptions alone, the amount contributed by man is a fractional amount of the total.
We should be spending time and effort to promoting and developing alternate clean energy sources. Over time effective alternate energy sources would help to reduce our petroleum consumption, and naturally reduce the minuscule amount of carbon output that mankind does contribute (in comparison to the whole).
It is useless to carp about reducing carbon output, when, if we were to somehow completely ELIMINATE every bit of mankind's carbon output it would only represent a minuscule fraction of the total amount of carbon naturally released. This has become the 'siren song' of the 'false environmentalist'. Most of the people who promote this are only singing with that particular 'choir' because it lets them piggy back their other opinions onto an issue that has been hugely and artificially inflated into something that has become nothing more or less than a worldwide scare tactic.
