Hmm, the bible says God granted dominion over the Earth, that means being a proper caretaker, preserver, and responsible manager. I can show you where one rancher with his out of control cows can destroy thousands of acres of land, and water sources thereon. That would be the impact of one man with a “natural herbivore” as a damage agent.
Now give that ability for one person’s actions to affect huge areas, of land or oceans, with the waste products of over SEVEN BILLION people, and calculate the size of the impacted area. BTW, make sure to keep moving that air in the atmosphere, and contaminated water, around constantly on the currents of sea or air, and see how much more area is affected.
Since I’m not a coal mine, I guess I’ll keep breathing. You all can keep blowing up West Virginia, and when it’s all gone, demand welfare from the gubmint, since that’s all you know to do.
What about “burping cows”? I swear, I read about that many years ago, that they burp so many tons of pollutant into the atmosphere every year! We’ll probably need to install catalytic converters on them!
But ya’ see here martens, ya’ got’ta’ understand that when Maynard G. Krebs invented the cycle, you had to peddle it, ‘cause the mean old liberals wouldn’t let him use a horse any more. Photosynthesis is also just another fraud!!
Thanks for your occasional science lessons. Every so often I post the following article from National Geographic, “The Carbon Bathtub”:
http://www.cmu.edu/gelfand/documents/succeed/bathtub-model/carbon-bathtub-infographic.pdf.Atmospheric CO2 has rise noticeably in the years I have been reading science. Within a few years it will have doubled. Some people don’t find that troubling, and make “common sense” observations that it doesn’t matter..It does.
Termites emit quite a bit of methane, too:.http://www.natgeocreative.com/photography/1507383.The entire article on Methane:.http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2012/12/methane/lavelle-text
lots of browned eyed comments on this one – but then that’s normal when people think they know it all and have to prove that they are smarter than everyone else so that everyone should believe what they say and not what anyone else says – no matter the facts only matters the interpretation of those facts by their ideology – when ideology theory is more important than facts and where they lead – than fear can twist and abuse the facts so that panic and insanity set in. and people wonder why there is so much neurosis (psychoneurosis) in our world today.
Ruff: interesting point that some states are considering using nitrogen, at 100% of the atmosphere to kill instead of lethal injections, interesting the impact of that roughly 25% increase in nitrogen percentage, making it lethal. It’s interesting that a lesser percentage of CO2 can kill!
As a former public school science teacher, I apologize. The average American seems to have NO idea what science is, or what to do with it. I only hope MY former students don’t assume the scientists of the world are wrong because the results conflict with how they would LIKE things to be.

Its not my automobile, its the 7 billion people on planet Earth,. We need to move them to another Planet.

I don’t think CO2 is mentioned in the Koran, the Bible, or any other ancient religious text. Its only in the Liberal Bible.

I assume as Payne is a car nut, those are catalytic converters, not mufflers?

It’s not just carbon dioxide. It’s methane as well. So, we all need CH4 caps on our butts to cut down on the GAS!
