I'm equally amazed to see the hubris inherent in a bunch lemmings who actually believe that human efforts can have a positive or negative effect on the earth's climate on a
global scale. You want catalytic converters to reduce a city's smog issues on a local level - I'm with you. Stop dumping toxins into a river to avoid obvious issue downstream, in the local water table and local food supply - let's do it.
Creating some kind of fantasy where paying personal carbon taxes, buying curly-cue lightbulbs and wringing our hands over the gas we exhale with every breath is going to somehow change the natural course of the global climate is a joke. We are insignificant travelers on God's earth and His plan is going to happen no matter what we do.
No matter what source you cite, its producer has an agenda at this stage of the game. For every expert you find to support your doomsday scenario, there's one that will refute it. It this point, I really don't care what any of them say.
I'll stick with simple common sense. We can no more control the global climate on our planet than we could stop the sun rising tomorrow.
