    A shameless link to your own submission?

    Stooping pretty low, but we expect no less.

    Here's how it works, pc.

    Consumer behavior drives economic activity, particularly demand.

    Those consumers with an inkling of responsibility for something other than themselves, want to be environmental stewards.

    Consumer behavior is changing.

    Greenhouse gas reducing technology can actually SAVE consumers money and generate new jobs.

    The old manufacturing economy is dead and cannot be revived.

    The future in the US is technology and service.

    Participate or be diminished - not by your government, but by the global economy.

      I guess the one thing I don't understand is that the world was covered by ice at one point and now it isn't and at that time their were no cars or human based carbon gases. So how did the ice melt? Where did all those glaciers go?

      I want to see the research on how the ice melted before and then compare the world from then to the world now. Unfortunately, this article only gives one line about how this is caused by humans and then the rest of the article is predictions on what will happen to the earth, Not very conclusive until they show us HOW and WHY this is all going down.

        I agree, b-happy.....the evidence is difficult to mine and predictions are based on current trends and their anticipated continuation.

        But also remember that the existence of human activity on the Earth, although brief, has been among the most significant factors in impacting the face of the Earth.

        You likely dont keep your own microcosm of existence (your home) contaminated with filth and waste, why should it be OK to allow it on a macrocosmic basis?

        Just because you cant see it doesnt mean it isnt having an impact on you,

          CO2 is not "filth".

          If it weren't for CO2, the organisms that produce the "waste" oxygen you breathe would not exist.
          And neither would you.

            Like anything, too much is not good.

              TonyByron. Let me put you in a room with as much oxygen as you want but a higher and higher concentration of carbon dioxide. You will soon have headaches, start barfing, and pass out.

              Look up carbonDIoxide poisoning.

              There is a REASON we EXPEL (get rid of) C02 from our bodies.

              But since Cons are so anti-science you may be unaware of the finer points of metabolism...

              Hey Tony,

              Try a little simulation experiment:

              Park your car in the garage and close the door with it still running.

              You still there?

              How's that excess CO & CO2 treating you?
