That's not at all clear, IMO. Letting Lisa Jackson's EPA impose solutions here will be a back breaker. Nuclear power is the only viable option I see to address this issue, at this point in time. We should be going gang busters with this, while encouraging rational market players to bring other scalable solutions to the table. We are all engines of karma

Having spent time looking into this, the physics of CO2 absorption are well known. My "skepticism" comes into play with model predictions. Lots of "real" climate scientists acknowledge they don't fully understand the dynamics of the problem. Likewise, CO2 emissions for western democracies are basically flat now. China's is going through the roof. Letting politicians in western democracies take control of this problem isn't going to solve anything, IMO, especially when they're advocating incredibly costly/invasive policies. I am firmly convinced that a big government solution to this problem is not going to happen, unless rational market players are actively encouraged to participate, and by that I mean nuclear power folks.

Pretty much. There's also the argument that proposed solutions really aren't solutions, much less solutions that account for economic reality. We are all engines of karma

It's pretty clear to me that you were on a debate team at some point in time, or else aspired to be on a debate team. You're failing miserably with that analogy. Humans don't exhale arsenic. They do exhale CO2. Note the quotation marks. Agreed, they're not claiming it this year, but there are claims it'll happen in our lifetime. Bullshit. Well, considering China is emitting more CO2 than Western democracies combined, you tell me. Maybe the "alarmists" can go and sing Kumbayah with them? Nuclear is the only viable solution, IMO.

400 ppm is 0.0004 (...by weight in this case). Step back and look at that. Anyone who has looked at the physics knows that CO2 does indeed absorb radiation emitted by the earth. There is no arguing that. What can be argued is the dire predictions being made by people who write "models", especially when they claim all the polar bears are going to die "this year". What can be argued even more are the "solutions" being proposed by governing bodies. These can, and should, be "denied". That's the essence of this argument, IMO. None of us are going to see drowning polar bears in our lifetime. Nor will our children, or our grandchildren, nor our great-grandchildren. How much green house warming was in place before our species came into being? About 70 degF. Is another 2-3 degF going to kill us? I think not. Should we take steps to reduce CO2 emissions? Absolutely. Should we allow governments to take control of that process via ridiculous edicts? Absolutely not. We are all engines of karma

Let's hope so. Where else is the government going to get its money? We are all engines of karma
