    For all we know, Moen could be a woman. Or Native American. Or an Orthodox Jew. Or Republican (well maybe not that). I prefer to think of him as just misguided. Not evil. Not vengeful. Just misguided.

    Moen, moen settle down. Don’t get sidetracked so easily. We were having a good exchange. So lets ease back into topic.

    Do you really think a 0.0118% increase in carbon dioxide in the last 100 years is significiant? So for now a simple yes or no will suffice.

    No, moen is a major faucet brand, like delta.

    I think that your focus is a bit naive. Small changes like increases in CO2 levels and increases in global temperatures happen over tens of thousands of years not 100-150 years. The recent increase coincides with a dramatic increase in the burning of fossil fuels in our history.

    I think few people realize just how thin our atmosphere really is. To get a perspective on this, if you took a chrome metal orb about the size of a basketball and put it in the freezer for a couple hours and then took it out and exhaled enough breath to create condensation on the surface, it would be roughly equivalent to the thickness of our atmosphere compared to the rest of the orb. In other words, the entire atmosphere is relatively thin layer of our living space.

    If you think that burning billions and billions of tons of green house gases can't possibly affect this thin layer of atmosphere when we can see what one massive volcano can do in a relatively short period of time, you simply are not paying attention or are choosing to ignore what is right in front of your face.

    I think this issue has become too politicized for all the wrong reasons and nobody here expects to actually convert anyone to their side. I know that the vast, vast majority of research supports my opinion and I am content to believe those that have very little profit motive over those that have a very large profit motive for believing what they believe. If you're wrong, we ALL are a hell of lot worse off. If I am wrong we end up having a little cleaner environment that doesn't even come close to reversing the environmental damages we've witnessed over the last 150 years in the quest for money. What sense does your position really make?

    Oh c'mon, dr moen, just call it what it is- an attempt by the left to gain control of the people. Gain control by telling us what we can drive, how we should travel, how warm or cool our houses can be and so on. The despicable way people like Al Gore have siezed the issue for personal gain is revolting.
