rational Everybody knows that the rise in global temperature happens several hundred years BEFORE the rise in CO2. Therefore it's only logical to ask: "Why do we blame CO2 for global warming?" Well thanks to a helpful comment from a Greenpeace blog-master, I recently learned the answer... CO2 doesn't actually cause global warming; it only AMPLIFIES it after warming is already well under way. And another good fact is that anthropogenic CO2 (humanity-caused CO2) is only a part of the total CO2 emission. All the other bad CO2 comes from natural sources which are then spurred to generate more and more CO2 because of the raising temperature! You can read the scientific explaination here: http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2004/12/co2-in-ice-cores/ ----- ----- This is great news! It's not all our fault! Not only that, there are many other contributors to global warming like the sun, variations in earth's tilt, natural emissions, and et cetera. So I'm thinking that this should relieve our guilt, and allow us to turn our attention to a more solvable problem, namely ADAPTATION TO THE PENDING CHANGES that will be resulting from the climate crisis. ----- ----- If we are really serious about the this crisis we'd GET READY for the new environment wouldn't we? We sure can't stop the other CO2 emissions or change the angle of earth's axis... ----- ----- What are some of your thoughts concerning the best way to prepare?

    I suggest we desalinize ocean water and pump to massive storage tanks allowing some to flow into lakes rivers and streams for flora fauna and reduce plague like diseases from forming in wilderness due to lack of clean water and STORE water in tanks, recycle waste water for reuse!Stop nuclear and chemical waste dumping into our oceans(Greenpeace march 70s new york). start modification of our infrastructure to assure greatest functionability of our nation. Those marches and protests we warned about 30 years ago have now begun. No its not all our fault, the planet has its own cycles, yet we KNEW 30 years ago our actions would contribute to the acceleration of global warming if we didnt refrain from contaminating and destroying our planet! Some good news- project to remove toxic DDT waste from west coast ocean! More good news- Most all nations of the world have now realized that our oceans are our last resource for water are now looking toward ways to protect and clean it! We have only just begun!
