Booger, your posts were very clear that you think it doesn't make any difference what we do, so why bother? That's a head-in-the-sand attitude.

I often cite Wikipedia articles because they are thorough and contain many references to source material, which you are free to follow. You have cited nothing at all, which makes me wonder why you think your opinion is well-founded.

I have no special expertise on environmental issues. I work with mainframe computer operations and installation. I do read on the subject, which may explain why I know more about it than you do. I also look things up occasionally. Try it sometime.

There are techniques for sequestering carbon that would be fairly expensive. I am not even talking about that. I referred to conservation measures and market interventions like a carbon tax.

We actually don't seem to disagree on much that involves engineering. However, I think that the current spate of GW is almost certainly anthropogenic and that it makes sense to make some effort to do something about it. We have policy differences. Your position is about to be abandoned even by George W Bush, leaving you with James Inhofe and John Dingell. Fuss and fume all you like, the data is available to all and it's pretty clear that your views are neither accurate nor prudent on this subject.
