Hmm. . . I never saw the research on this, but I think I knew this already. However, like others have said, I don't want to see people say "Well, if CO2 don't cause the warmin', lets buy us another six SUV'S!" because there are myriad reasons to move from fossil fuels and work on renewables. I just like efficiency myself, and wasting oil on moving a giant truck when we could make a plastic container that will last for years is just not efficient use of our resources.
I don't like these kinds of threads either. I know you have good intentions on this Mafoo, although I don't know your feelings on global warming. But unless every part of emissions is shown conclusively to have no effect at all on the earth, we need to look at something else. And this kind of talk puts people in the mindset of "nothing is wrong, let's just keep a wastin'", which is counterproductive to development of new technologies.
We don't know for sure what causes global warming, or 100% conclusively IF there is global warming. But if there is a chance that it is true, and we can fairly easily do something about it, why would we not? Just to be obstinate and against the grain? That doesn't seem to be a good enough reason for me.
