Thank you EHS, Geologist.! I appreciate comments from people who know what they are talking about and don’t just side with or reject issues because of political reasons.

This is a real crock, not just the whole Climate Change Global Warming schtick that the govs trying to force upon us. But does everyone understand that CO2 only makes up .03% of all green house gases? Seems to me if the real concern was the effect that the GHG’s have on the Global Warming farce, then they would want to focus their efforts on the other contributors that make up the lion’s share of the green house gases. Welcome to CAP and TAX and the destruction of our republic.

The geologic record indicates that earth has heated and cooled. During these changes the glaciers melted and the oceans transgresed over much of the land. Likewise…glaciers formed and the oceans regressed. This was long before humans existed. Plate tectonics that generate earthquakes and volcanos generate CO2. Also the oceans have shown that CO2 is concentrated in certain regions and is “belched” back to the surface and released to the atmosphere. Active studies of the glacial ice in Antartica are continuing where plant/animal life and trapped bubbles of the ancient atmosphere of Earth are being analyzed and at some point should indicate how much of a footprint humans are leaving.

Carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere by a variety of natural sources, and over 95% of total CO2 emissions would occur even if humans were not present on Earth. For example, the natural decay of organic material in forests and grasslands, such as dead trees, results in the release of about 220 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide every year. But these natural sources are nearly balanced by physical and biological processes, called natural sinks, which remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. For example, some carbon dioxide dissolves in sea water, and some is removed by plants as they grow.

You see, it is not the “over 95 percent” of CO2 that comes from natural emissions that is causing a problem, it is the less than 5 percent supposedly produced by us evil humans that is causing all the trouble.

Sounds like an easy solution to me, just do away with the evil humans and the earth will heal itself and all will be well with the world.

Greenhouse gases need to be reduced – - yesterday.
Kit, Vicky, Marie-Louis and Leslie are correct*, so get used to the new paradigm. What do we have to do?
1. Identify CO2 emission sources in your facility 2. Quantify volume of emissions & document this data 3. Consider ways to ‘Engineer’ the CO2 emissions problem out of your systems 4. Plan and Implement a program of CO2 emission reductions. 5. Repeat steps 1-4. (=Done.)

Don’t be too shocked if your pro-active program keeps your company in business significantly longer than the non-responsive competition. At the very least, it might save your job! At the most – - save our biosphere for future humankind.

* The REST of you – Stop whining, and do something constructive to help the environment.

Global climate change is real, and scientificly proven through historical events, however; CO2 is also real, BUT, trees and all vegetation needs it to live, so there must be a balance, and what about methane?/ Come on people, let’s get to facts no supposition and wild propaganda, Nobel Peace Prize or not, let us become sane and mature, then address what the real problems are, and not the political agendas.

First, Marie LJM, if you don’t drive (assumming your husbands don’t either) you must use public transportation. Anyone ever driven behind a bus?????

Also, its a good thing you already have you 3 children. There are those in this Administration who want to put a cap on how many kids we can have. ! as in ONE.

Makes me laugh, it is SO COLD in Copenhagen!! The representatives there do not have enough warm clothes………and so much for buying any in Copenhagen, as they don’t produce any there, and things imported from Taiwan and Mexico are not very warm. And did you know? A small lunch is upwards of $65.00. A cup of coffee? or cappachino (sp? ) try $16. And just think how much CO2
they are going to churn out just to get home.
