There are more reports coming out right now that we're in a global cooling stage. You need to read more than what's on the back of cereal boxes John. GM has created the Chevrolet Volt. Although technically a hybrid, it is mostly run off of electricity. I am excited about this technology and would love to be one of the ones to test it out. My concern is that where I live most of our electricity is generated by burning coal. It seems to me that that is not beneficial to the environment. Burn less gasoline, burn more coal? I would love to see a national movement towards solar energy capturing. At some point I can see the husband and I putting up solar panels to feed our home's energy needs. All home owners should be able to do this and right off the full cost of installment on their tax returns. Polar ice cap melting . . . right . . .

Man is not the arrogant driving force the Gorcle would have the world believe. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html If man were serious about doing something towards redistributing the CO2, he'd start logging the old growth, stop letting it rot. He'd plant trees and clear away the slash, to reduce the ravaging effects due to inaccessibility to fight fire. He'd have roads in areas where he could access and actually manage forest land. This drop in the bucket would actually DO something positive as opposed to the monumental waste of resources associated with carbon credits!

I missed that softball that you tossed up for us Teach. Teach just can't seem to let go of this one, soon he will be posting about the upside of the polar cap melting for the first time in recorded history DAMN !!

Putting more vapor into the air won't increase the concentration for long, because it will precipitate out as rain and condensation, so there is no harm done. The problem with carbon dioxide and other less abundant gases is that they aren't saturated in the atmosphere, and more can still accumulate. Additionally, as they concentrate in the air, it will be able to hold more water vapor without having to precipitate. Thus, while water vapor would be doing a significant proportion of the damage, it is only able to do so because of the increased concentration of the less abundant gases, most notably though not exclusively carbon dioxide.
