Where is the proof that our CO2 is actually being trapped by the atmosphere and causing the increase? [/QUOTE]
Can you point me to some of these scientific facts without me having to purchase a movie to fund someone's political agenda?
Are there environmental problems? Sure. Are most environmental issues rooted in politics, rather than the environment? Hell yes! Modern environmentalism is based on sensationalism and fear - not science.[/QUOTE]
You are one embittered bastard.
Gore isn't even RUNNING for any office, and, NEWSFLASH: you can watch the movie for free in a great many cinemas.[/QUOTE]
I was referring to all acts of environmental hysteria being geared toward forwarding someone's political agenda somewhere. I wasn't particularly referring to Gore, as I am even rather fond of him.
On a side note, it seems a great many cinemas is apparently none at all...
And seriously, I'm not even going to respond to YOU calling someone an embittered bastard. Hahaha!

During the last few years, several extremely careful, extremely complete surveys have been released, many respectable scientists have looked into it, and all have come to the same conclusion:
We are as near to certain as is scientifically possible that mankind is greatly accelerating global warming.
If you refuse to believe it, you are
1) in denial
2) pose a (potential) threat to the world
3) need to get an education[/QUOTE]
This is absolute bullshit, and it's non-objective, "believe what you hear as long as it's supported by your political bias" people like you that are completely senseless and pose a great danger.
As of now, there are three undeniable truths:
1) We (you, the entire scientific community, or anyone else) do not know how great the human influence on global warming is.
2) We do not know what the effects of global warming will be, or whether they will be good or bad.
3) We do not know to what extent these effects will be.
Patrick Moore (not Brian May's buddy - rather, a founder and former member of fucking Greenpeace) has even said on the issue:
"It's become so complicated, there's so much snake oil around the whole subject... the best comment that was ever made was by Michael Crichton in his book State of Fear: 'I am certain there is too much certainty in the world'. And I am certain that he is right."
He has also said:
"I think one of the most pernicious aspects of the modern environmental movement is the romanticization of peasant life. And the idea that industrial societies are the destroyers of the world. The environmental movement has evolved into the strongest force there is for preventing development in the developing countries. I think it's legitimate for me to call them anti-human."
