Quote:Well, yes. I know that. Those questions were actually aimed more at the people on the other side of the argument, Epsilon. I knew you'd be able to answer them, at least in a general sense.
Think back to your high school biology classes. The ones that told you about carbon dioxide. Now, what process consumes carbon dioxide and produces oxygen? What primarly does this process?
Now... what have we human being been systematcailly destroying for decades?
EDIT: I still would like to see estimates regarding how much of a factor each of these is. I don't doubt that scientists take these factors into account, but I haven't managed to find any figures yet.
Quote:Yep. That was my point (albeit probably not a very well put one). There's more than one way to screw up the environment. You can't just point to a chart that says natural gas emissions are higher than human-made ones, and therefore it doesn't count. It's all about disturbing the balance that has kept the planet operating for eons.
And like any complex machine, it is very easy to break.
Quote:I'm not about to tell experts that they are wrong. I've already pointed out in this thread that I'm not a scientist. The truth is, none of us here are qualified to do much more than provide links to other people's data.
I wouldn't presume to think I knew more about how to treat my illness than a doctor, so I don't see how people can presume that they know more about climatology than climate scientists.
Now that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see the evidence that the other side believes it has.
