Global warming-fact or fiction and how do you propose we tackle it?

[Final-Fan]

To be clear, if you don't feel up to this debate then just step out. But trying to frame it in only the areas you feel comfortable in essentially says that you don't have a grasp on the bigger picture which is fundamental to understanding the overall picture. Again, I don't claim to be an expert but that doesn't stop me from addressing all of the issues.

There's some truth to the allegation that I picked this particular battle because I felt I could win it; but that doesn't mean it's an invalid subject.

It's true that I currently haven't dug up info enough to be effective in the larger debate, but I do have enough knowledge to incorporate any relevant info from the "overall picture" into our CO2 discussion. That's a much easier task than incorporating all relevant info into the overall picture to discuss the overall picture. There's much more info that is relevant in the latter case, and much more to discuss.

You aren't an expert, but you're sure as hell an educated layman. And I'm not as educated as I need to be to debate you on the sprawling GW subject. But I do have the education required for this CO2 discussion, even though the CO2 issue is not independent from the GW issues. Because GW does not enter into our CO2 discussion at all except as a potential cause (or inhibitor) of CO2 increase.
