Al Gore's Private Jet

The whole global warming thing in my opinion is a hoax. Even if it was true
there is nothing you can do about it. Oil will run out way before we
overheat.
People like Gore will make a living off the hoax.

You need to inform yourself. Have you seen Gore's movie yet?

The CO2 that is
currently at 380ppm but has been at 3000ppm for most of the history of
life on the planet?

During the 3.5 billion years of Earth's existence its atmosphere did
not contain appreciable amounts of life sustaining oxygen until ~500
million years ago. So I don't see the relevance of that statement.

Regardless, it would seem that the climate is warming now, and it
would behoove us ALL to do what we can to reduce the speed with which
that is occurring.

Why?

Funny how the "warming" (0.5 degrees C on average at the surface, but
no measureable change at higher altitudes) seems to be tracking the
average solar output...

CO2 levels have been much higher for most of the history of life, see

The problem is, to reduce enough green house gases to effect the temp
of the earth we'd have to cover 50% of the oceans with a material that
would prevent moisture from getting into the atmosphere. Besides, why
do I care that the earth doesn't (and never has) maintained a
continuous temperature? Who am I to tell the earth what it is or is
not suppose to do?

Okay, so what do you propose? That we all pay a 'carbon tax' ?
How is giving government even more of our hard earned money gonna
change the climate of the earth? What has government done that makes
you believe it would do any good?

Ya want government to legistlate and control our lives in an attempt
somehow control the temperature of the earth? What about other
countries... are we going to attack and conquer them and MAKE them
stop producing babies?

The US population is small compared to the rest of the world,
and our economy is mature compared to theirs which is growing rapidly.

Stop being so anal and enjoy your life... everyone is gonna die
eventually.

You mean the CO2 that is a vital nutrient to plant life and key to
photosynthesis of food for those same plants? The CO2 that is
currently at 380ppm but has been at 3000ppm for most of the history of
life on the planet? The same CO2 that at 1000ppm stimulates plants to
grow 50% faster than they do at 380ppm? The same CO2 that is a minor
greenhouse gas when compared with water vapor, which is the dominant
greenhouse gas and absorber of infra-red radiation? The same CO2 that
you emit every time you exhale? The same CO2 that is the primary
source of carbon for carbon based lifeforms on this planet? The same
CO2 that has to be in excess of 5000ppm to pose a respiritory problem
for animals and humans?

You talk about CO2 like it is some form of pollution, rather than a
key component of life on this planet.

Not to mention that core sample data indicates that temperture rise PRECEEDS
corresponding CO2 rise by several hundred years...

This and other things have seriously changed my mind about it.

I'm not trying to change anyone's mind; that isn't my call. But
you have to admit: Gen. Aviation isn't really helping the cause. We're
flying around planes that can seat no more than 3 - 5 people, and
adding CO2 to the air just as much as those driving... Yet you're only
roasting Gore. We should look at ourselves first before going after
someone else..

What do you do, hold your breath? What is really interesting to me is
how the global warming crowd has explained the unusually cold winters
(global warming must be melting ice caps). Now that we know that Mars
is experiencing the same global warming I'm *REALLY* excited to hear
what the official story is of how we caused that too!!!!
