The key word here is "expected". Sounds like a model they have set up and who knows what data they are using to create the model.
If you think anything we do is going to change the climate, why not try and stop tornados, hurricanes, regulate the temprature, the quantity of rain fall, or some other naturally occuring condition. Simple, we can't! Man cannot control the climate anymore than we can change the rotation of the planet. Live with it.
Remember the panic the climate folks caused with the hole in the ozone layer? What happened? It closed up. The had nothing to with it. Nothing we did made it close, it just did. That's called nature. It seems to adjust for reasons we don't understand and so far it seems to be doing well on it's own despite the ego maniacs who continue to panic eveytime they can't explain it.

While temperature data supports that global warming is real, the math doesn't necasarilly back it up. Humans create roughly 2 billion metric tons of CO2 per year due to respiration, and about 24 billion metric tons of CO2 due to power output. This is compared to a very rough estimate of 40 billion metric tons of CO2 due to the respiration of insects. The question is how much of an impact do those 24 billion metric tons of CO2 have if it's only a small portion of CO2 production on earth. I think it's fair to say that even an small increase in atmospheric CO2 content (somewhere between 5% - 15%) would have a significant effect on our planet's enviornment. Let's say it raises average temperature by 4 2 or 3 degrees. If i could convince my mom that my temperature was off by that much she would let me stay home from school. Get it? Is our CO2 production a big deal? No. Do we need to fix the problem so that our planet contiunes to have the same ecosystem that we've had so much success with for 50,000 years? Yes.

Global Warming has been going on for Millions of years. LONG before mankind stepped foot on Earth. The effect we have on the mean temperature is minimal at best. It is a scare tactic for the higher ups to use to profit from people like you.

Have you ever heard of Hara? It is a 25-employee company that debuted in 2008, providing online software to help companies reduce their carbon footprint -- a $2.5 billion market that will grow 10-fold if the proposed energy bill, which will require companies to get permits for emissions, becomes law.

Guess who backs them... Al Gore. Mr. Global warming himself stands to profit BIG-time from this hoax.


I'm sure you remember the 'save the planet' crowd scooping up the Toyota Prius in hopes to help keep the planet cleaner.

Consider this...

Building a Toyota Prius causes more environmental damage than a Hummer that is on the road for three times longer than a Prius. The Prius is partly driven by a battery which contains nickel. The nickel is mined and smelted at a plant in Sudbury, Ontario. This plant has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the 'dead zone' around the plant to test moon rovers. The area around the plant is devoid of any life for miles.

The point I am trying to make is that sometimes the cure can be worse than the cause. What if we ARE able to stop global warming? What if the methods we use in fiddling around with Earths mean temperature ends up causing us even More problems than we had to begin with?

As I stated, global warming has been going on for Millions of years. It's part of the natural cycle. Don't fool with Mother Nature.
