But I of course meant for the modern rise in temperature =O

@Kasz. Isn't that exactly the same solution as the ones proposed for anthropogenic global warming - reduce the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere (whether through cutting emissions or through removing stuff already there)?

 

Indeed.  The difference is that people who support anthropogenic global warming greatly underestimate the amount of greenhouse gases that are produced natuarally.

At one point it's even been suggested that manmade greenhouse gases are somehow "worse" then regular gases despite having the same atomic structure to explain this.

People just don't talk about it anymore though.

I think of it like being on a sinking ship.  Sure you could of left the faucet on... and that is going to stop the bathroom from flooding... but your ignoring the huge hole in the wall.

 

Generally they ARE worse, not because of their atomic structure, but because most of the man-made sources of CO2 produce a lot of OTHER pollutants.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
