Stop taking the choice wording from inconvenient truth and open your frigging eyes to the facts.



NO NO NO NO NO

There are plenty who oppose increased warming by CO2 emissions. EVEN THE CO-FOUNDER OF GREENPEACE, Patrick Moore speaks up against it.
Yeah, thanks for saying that, I'm getting pretty sick of hearing this whole 'no scientists disagree' thing.

There's constant doubters in all areas of science. To think that there could possibly be a consensus on a subject as controversial as this one shows as absolute lack of understanding for the way science works. ._o

I picked up Gore's book today, by the way. There's no doubt about it; the thing shamelessly makes logical fallacies and asserts unscientific nonsense and lies.

For example, saying that the photosynthesis of trees is the only reason why increasing temperature would increase CO2 concentration...

By the way, I'm not so hot on biology; but I know that the respiration of trees is more important than the photosynthesis, and trees do produce carbon dioxide as well as oxygen. Anybody know which gas the trees emit a greater proportion of?

I have no disillusionment about C02, what it is, [...]
Sorry, but that's kind of ironic and really makes the rest of what you say sound a bit silly. You evidently have no grasp whatsoever about the fundamental basics of what it is.

I'm not trying to abuse you here or anything by the way, you never claimed to be an expert Chemist and of course there is no obligation to be one.

But yes, it's not 'Oh' as in zero; C02 doesn't mean 'carbon type zero two' or whatever you think: it's 'Oh' as in O, for Oxygen; CO2 means 'one carbon, two oxygens per molecule'.

Carbon Dioxide; the clue's in the name. Di being a prefix meaning 'two'.

Just an interesting example on why the people often really don't understand at all what's going on... and therefore are just repeating what's been told to them, unable to question its validity.
