"Humans 'very likely' making earth warmer" is wrong
Hey, that I knew. What is missing in this report though is who among
humans are to blame. See, NOT ALL HUMANS POLLUTE: some drive Stupid Unnecessary Vehicles while others ride bicycles. And how about those who --like me-- want to ride a bike, but find there's no safe place for it. It's a frightful jungle out there, you know. So we must sit back and swallow in disgust reports like this that blame all humans. But I say to these so called experts: Hey guys, it's not "humans," it's the lions of the jungle that ride SUVs to satisfy their Napoleonic complex, and it's those who can change things, but rather decide to spend a fortune in extravagant projects. Well, this is Napoleon himself... http://z.about.com/d/politicalhumor/...h_napoleon.jpg (Bush and Napoleon... http://www.counterpunch.org/madsen04102003.html) HOW THE LION BENEFITS FROM THE LITTLE ANIMALS' POVERTY One day all the little animals went up to the King of the Jungle and complained about their poverty, and in particular about the fact that every time, during the dry season, they had to travel long distances to drink the precious fluid, and demanded a WATER WELL be built for them... They cited how the resources that they contributed to the kingdom were wasted in WARS and EXTRAVAGANT PROJECTS to the tastes of the King... He, however, replied with all kinds of excuses: the lack of resources, that it wasn't a matter of him not wanting it, but that it was a matter of "priorities" --which was one of his favorite words... Meanwhile, an Owl --who had very good eyes-- had been observing life in the jungle, and thought this way: "Every time there's a dry season the little animals must come to the little dirty waterhole where the Lion waits for them... Had they been well fed and strong, he would have had to run after them and even risk resistance. And, more importantly, the little animals are forced to fight the Lion's wars as the quick way out of poverty..." And that's how the Owl landed an important --and well paid-- post in the brand new Astronomy Department created by the King of the Jungle -- to the effect of exploring life in other planets... *** PARIS - Officials from 113 countries agreed Thursday that a much- awaited international report will say that global warming was "very likely" caused by human activity, delegates to a climate change conference said. Dozens of scientists and bureaucrats are editing the new report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in closed- door meetings in Paris. Their report, which must be unanimously approved, is to be released Friday. Two participants, speaking on condition of anonymity because the meetings are confidential, said the group approved the term "very likely" in Thursday's sessions. That means they agree that there is a 90 percent chance that global warming is human-caused. The last report, in 2001, said global warming was "likely" caused by human activity. There had been speculation that the participants might try to change the wording this time to "virtually certain," which means a 99 percent chance. The report is considered an authoritative document that could influence government and industrial policy worldwide. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070201/...climate_change WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote THE BANANA REVOLUTION http://webspawner.com/users/donquijote40 |

Then the SUVs are not a problem and nothing is a problem and nothing gets done. If you drive an SUV you are the symbol of pollution, though we may all pollute to different degrees. It's the ones that don't care and don't want to change, the ones guilty for pollution. And they go to Hell, I hope. Unless, of course, they write the story.

What are we going to call the other 98% You missed the point I was trying to make, albeit my argument was a bit flawed. 6 billion people not only breathing but trying to get to a higher standard of living which means they will be using fossil fuel or burning whatever to power their newly acquired toys. Only about a billion, maybe more, maybe less, have cars but as that changes upward we will have that much more. And don't forget that all these people will want electricity to power their newly acquired cars, televisions, etc. snip That's all from me. Too many threads and groups on this subject. Bill Baka |

You are telling me that someone commuting by bike pollutes nearly as much as someone riding an SUV just to please his ego? Then the SUVs are not a problem and nothing is a problem and nothing gets done. No! It's just the fact that there are way too many people already. Do you think the traffic would be so bad if we hadn't gone from 200 million to 300 million in the states in just about 30 years? Now think globally and how the multitudes of humans are 'taming the wilderness' to make housing and farm fields and think of all the O2 recycling plants being shut down (cutting down the rain forest, which may not grow back). I think the effect of killing the the rain forests and everything else on other continents will catch up to us sooner than the effect of SUVs. If you drive an SUV you are the symbol of pollution, though we may all pollute to different degrees. It's the ones that don't care and don't want to change, the ones guilty for pollution. That is generally the over paid and snobbish non-cyclists, and I have plenty of run ins with them on bike or in car. I got turned into a super cautious type about a month ago when I got hit by an old man of about 70 driving a needlessly large quad cab pickup truck. We made eye contact, I thought, and he pulled out from a stop sign just as I was crossing in front of him. The truck was so big that my head was barely at hood height and he could almost say that he thought I was clear when he pulled out. The truck bed was hospital clean so I knew he didn't use it for work, just driving. If he hadn't heard the bam/crunch I may have been road kill. At that point pollution takes a back seat. Of course maybe he didn't care about the results of pollution because he wouldn't be here. This guy should have been driving a little 2 door hatchback but the male macho attitudes around here dictate that he should drive a man's truck. It's a "Go figure" situation. I see plenty of 4 wheel drives around here that have never seen mud and may not for their entire life. Again, male one upmanship. Add the soccer moms and you have a mess. And they go to Hell, I hope. Unless, of course, they write the story. They should buy one of these bumper stickers... Yep, that's a miracle indeed. I guess Jesus would have driven a Hummer. "By their deeds you shall know them." http://www.zazzle.com/product/128126522821097506 Maybe we should have a contest for the best thing to put on a bumper sticker, like "I'm so lazy I drive to the mail box", corner store for smokes, etc. I would be more than willing to carry some of these and slap them on oversized and super shiny land yachts. Start a new movement anyone? Bill Baka P.S. Anybody can nit pick since I am not looking to win a writing contest. |

"donquijote1954" wrote in message oups.com... there is a 90 percent chance that global warming is human-caused. " While humanity's three billion tonnes (gigatonnes, or GT) per year net contribution to the atmosphere's CO2 load appears large on a human scale, it is actually less than half of 1% of the atmosphere's total CO2 content (750-830 GT). The CO2 emissions of our civilization are also dwarfed by the 210 GT/year emissions of the gas from Earth's oceans and land. Perhaps even more significant is the fact that the uncertainty in the measurement of atmospheric CO2 content is 80 GT -- making three GT seem hardly worth mentioning."

Human activity is adding more like 25 gigatons of CO2 to the atmosphere annually, just from burning of fossil fuels. The latest figures are about 7 PgC, which is 7 petagrams of carbon annually, and multiply that by 44/12 to get petagrams (gigatons) of CO2. All the other carbon is just circulating around the biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. Burning of fossil fuels is adding carbon to these at a rate of 7 gigatons of carbon, or 25 gigatons of CO2, per year. - Don Klipstein ) |
