Its obvious that our current mode of cheap energy exploitation can't
last for long. A significant investment has to be made to allow us to
get away from carbon fuels. Even if you deny that CO2 is a problem you
have to admit carbon fuels pollute the environment. Surely you also see that
significant geopolitical problems, particularly in the oil-rich middle
eastern countries, requires that humanity should move to renewables.

Take it to court then. Perform some experiments, gather data, submit
for publication. Blabbing on the newsgroups means nothing.

I have a feeling you didn't perform any experiments. Haven't seen you
mention any.

Hard to believe you will claim that conservation measures will not reduce
"our" output of CO2.

China is awash in pollution and will not be able to sustain the current
level of environmental poisoning for long. India is an environmental basket
case. You want the US to continue to emit known pollutants as well just
because THEY are willfully ruining their habitats. Traitor!

You keep trucking that remark out onto the newsgroups, where do you get
your figures?

All this means is that there are carbon sinks which we do not fully
understand. There is more resiliency than meets the eye, but surely
it has a limit. The carbon is going somewhere, do you know where it is?

Your point being? We can pump all the carbon fuels out of the ground we
want and dump the effluent into the atmosphere without harm because people
are burning down the rainforests?

Its always good to cite sources of your data when you try to make statements
of fact, don't you think?

Ok, brain, just what fuels can we go to, other than
nuclear.

So a bunch of tribes that have been making war against
each other along with a few crazy dictators should prevent the
peaceful governments from selling their oil.

You are twisting reality, CO2 is not a pollutant, it is plant
food, China is selling cheap junk products at less than the world
market for the raw materials that go into them, and the US is
the bad guy? Are you a greenie, an internationalist, or just
brainwashed?

It won't be ever increasing, because there is a limited amount
of fossil fuel, and a lot of carbon is constantly turned into rock.

The big bad problem being publicized is global warming,
if there is no warming, apparently it would not affect your agenda.

Which planet is that? 380ppmv times one thousand is 38% that's a very
wet (and hot) place!
More like 20X max to 1/3 in the troposphere, much less in the
stratosphere.

The feedback of temperature on Water vapor is well known and described
by the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.
Also it's far from obvious that increased water vapor will lead to
more cloud.

I think they're beginning to see the handwriting on the wall. It's
"agenda first, reality later", that drives their behavior. If AGW won't
further their agenda, they'll dump it for the next scare that comes along.

You're right. I dropped a decimal point. Mea culpa. Or I guess I
could claim a "colloquialism".

Impressive way to talk about humidity. Consider the possibility that you

Depends on who's looking. Try getting out more. Preferably in a
sailplane.
