is no proof that humans are causing it.

Me? I say it's wishful thinking that humans can cause the planet to
warm.
For the last 2.5 million years or so, every time the planet gets as
warm
as it is now, the climate crashes into a glacial period. We are, after
all, in an ice age, and will be for the next 20 or 30 million years,
until the plates move enough to allow decent ocean circulation.

Me? I think it is dangerous to assume that we can't. But aside from
the
issue of whether or not we are causing the problem, the fact is that
there
is a problem.

LOL. Hilarious.

Just what exactly is the threat? Warming or cooling?



The US alone pumps 6000 million tons a ...year of carbon dioxide
into the atmosphere. In twenty years that's estimated to grow
to 8000 million tons a year. That's 6,000,000,000 tons a year
just from the US.

And consider the fact that the US govt estimates in twenty years
the price of fuel oil and natural gas will rise to the point where
we'll be forced to turn to mostly coal to supply new sources of
electricity. Coal produces TWICE the amount of greenhouse
gasses as oil, six times the amount of carbon monoxide
and three time the amount of sulfur dioxide as oil.

And in China lives 1.3 billion people with an economy growing
at almost 10% a year. Guess what fuel source they'll be
using to supply their astonishing growth?

And, demonstrate that putting a Tyrant in power would be of any help.
