I am going back and forth with a science teacher here.?? I personally don't
really argue that global climate change is occurring.?? It happens
constantly.?? I just maintain that we don't have much to do with it.??
When?Mt. Pinatubo (?) puts more carbon dioxide and other noxious gases into
the air in a single eruption than man has in his entire history, it kind of
makes me think we are not a significant contributor to climate change.

It's like this.? If I go dump a 5 gallon bucket of fresh water into the
ocean, do I reduce the overall salinity of the ocean??? Well, yes.??
Significantly??? Not by any reasonable measure, no.

The teacher hasn't had a response, though, to my question that if my SUV is
responsible for global warming, why is Mars warmer, too?

I know someone on the list is knowledgeable about this subject, I am not. I
don't know if this person has real credibility or is a kook, but he is
quoting
and using measures found by credible scientists. I am not making a point, I
don't know enough. I'm just, now, more skeptical than I was before

........"Don Easterbrook, a geologist at Western Washington University, says,
"It's practically a slam dunk that we are in for about 30 years of global
cooling," as the sun enters a particularly inactive phase. His examination of
warming and cooling trends over the past four centuries shows an "almost
exact
correlation" between climate fluctuations and solar energy received on Earth,
while showing almost "no correlation at all with CO2."...........

......An analytical chemist who works in spectroscopy and atmospheric
sensing,
Michael J. Myers of Hilton Head, S. C., declared, "Man-made global warming is
junk science," explaining that worldwide manmade CO2 emission each year
"equals
about 0.0168% of the atmosphere's CO2 concentration ... This results in a
0.00064% increase in the absorption of the sun's radiation. This is an
insignificantly small number.".........

........Other international scientists have called the manmade warming theory
a
"hoax," a "fraud" and simply "not credible."...........

........For nearly 30 years, Professor Christy has been in charge of NASA's
eight weather satellites that take more than 300,000 temperature readings
daily
around the globe. In a paper co-written with Dr. Douglass, he concludes that
while manmade emissions may be having a slight impact, "variations in global
temperatures since 1978 ... cannot be attributed to carbon
dioxide."............
