Sander Vesik made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: * Defend your assertion that China and India should be non-participants in the mitigation. Get real. Very few people in a science newsgroup are going to find this a persuasive or compelling argument.

Do *you* have an intelligent critique of Lomborg? |

Because it will significantly reduce the GDP of much of the world, but particularly, the US, the greatest producer of wealth on the planet, over the next century. When the world grows poorer, the poorest grow even more so. Why would it reduce the GDP of the US (or of any other country)? Alain Fournier |

The whole truth of the matter is that we do not have enough information as to say one way or the other. Accurate measurements of global temperatures were not recorded until the early 1880s. This means that we are taking the statistical average of only 120 years and applying these to a region that covers 4.4 billion years. For those on the CO2 band wagon think of this, CO2 makes up only .0002% of the total atmospheric gasses. Our production of energy makes up only 13% of the total CO2 output (This includes both industrial and auto energy requirements.). The rest of the CO2 is produced of biochemical sources (animal by products such as breathing and plant decay). To put this all in perspective it would take another 1000 years at our present level of output to increase the atmospheric CO2 levels to .0003%. |

Thank-you so much for providing references to your false claims : http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/trends/co2/sio-mlo.htm To put this all in perspective it would take another 1000 years at our present level of output to increase the atmospheric CO2 levels to .0003%. The evidence appears to contradict your claim : http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/pns/current_ghg.html But you have adequately demonstrated to us that you are an idiot, for which we are grateful.

Frey made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that: (Rand Simberg) wrote: While pauperized may have been a hyperbolic term, So "poetry" is OK for you but others better watch it. "Consumer of resources per capita" is a meaningless statistic, outside the context of "producer of resources per capita." Fossil fuel resouces are used up at a higher rate by the US per capita at an absurd rate. So? We are also using them to create wealth, for us and the planet, at an absurd rate. You are not engaged in discussion but word games. It's how smartarses impose and defend daft and dangerous ideologies on people. Yes, that's right. I'm imposing daft and dangerous ideologies on people. much more hysteria, and admission of ignorance of the subject, snipped This discussion would be interesting if you stopped behaving like a lawyer, defending your client with all means at your disposal, regardless of your clients innocence or manifest guilt. The issue is a tad more serious. I'm "defending my client" (i.e., common sense and rationality) because it is innocent. |

No, you extracting wealth from the planet, for yourself, and a rate that far exceeds equilibrium. Then you further your lie by saying you are extracting this wealth *for* the planet. Your lies are very transparent to any informed mind. I'm "defending my client" (i.e., common sense and rationality) because it is innocent. Your client base apparently does not include truth, scientific methods, nature, wildlife, or the Planet Earth. Thomas Lee Elifritz http://elifritz.members.atlantic.net |
