“The Obama administration declared Friday that carbon dioxide and five other industrial emissions threaten the planet. The landmark decision lays the groundwork for federal efforts to cap carbon emissions -- at a potential cost of billions of dollars to businesses and government.” (WSJ, J. Weisman and S. Hughes, April, 18, 2009).
According to the article "Environmental Effects of Increase Carbon Dioxide" (Robinson, et al, which has been peer reviewed), the MAGNITUDES of human produced carbon dioxide per year over the past 100 years is so inconsequential relative to exchanges between the oceans, land masses, and the air that it is difficult to determine if any deleterious effects can be attributable to man. In fact, the strongest correlation between global warming and any other physical variable is to solar activity. In fact this article concludes "A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th and early 21st centuries have produced no deleterious effects upon Earth’s weather and climate. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in hydrocarbon use and minor green house gases like carbon dioxide do not conform to current experimental knowledge." In effect, this carbon dioxide scare is nothing more than an attempt to promote a state sponsored "religion," funded by taxpayer dollars While well intentioned, these folks are on the wrong side of science and will tax us into oblivion to fix a problem that simply does not exist.
