plus, nature makes way more polution per year then us humans do. I think I was reading that humans make like 700,000 tons of pollution per year, while nature is making well over 100 million tons. and that one volcanic eruption makes at least 10 million tons.

I'm saying that from memory of something I read a couple years back, so don't hold me to those being exact numbers.

and yet there's still much debate over the whole global warming thing....at least enough to cause concerns on a global level about emmissions from fossil fuels and such and to have that still be a top priority of much of the world.

science isn't sure either way about global warming.

it's also hard to make anything definate when the earth is in such a transitional period with so many changes that apparently have been happening for thousands of years? not easy to say nothing is wrong when we're up to tropical storm epsilom when i remember not too many years ago the highest season on record was up to opel.


also you have to take into account how many billions of dollars that support against global warming because acknowledging it would basically mean a deathblow to the oil industry and a stronger, more focused search for an alternative fuel source.

same reason why there's such vagaries about peak oil production....dont want to scare everyone into actually doing something about it.
